Loveday Funck is a Louisiana artist creating original ink drawings, image-based works, and artist-published pieces rooted in storytelling, folklore, and emotional strangeness. Her current body of work centers on the Unbelongings, a growing series of hand-drawn beings that feel like fragments from unwritten fairy tales. Strange, tender, and quietly expressive, these creatures inhabit a world where oddity and recognition live side by side.
Working primarily in ink, Funck creates figures that suggest personality, memory, exile, humor, and resilience. Each piece stands on its own, but together the Unbelongings form an unfolding visual mythology of gentle outsiders, watchful companions, and beings that seem misplaced only because the world has not yet learned how to name them.
Her broader practice includes artist-published books, tarot and oracle decks, and other works that grow from the same handmade visual language. Across forms, she is drawn to images that carry story without fully explaining themselves, inviting viewers into a space of curiosity, tenderness, and imagination.
Based in Louisiana, Funck’s work is shaped by Southern storytelling, atmospheric beauty, folklore, and a deep affection for the mysterious, the symbolic, and the slightly uncanny.
