Meet the Artist: Katie Abey

Embrace Your Weirdness and Let the Magic Begin

Meet Katie Abey, a creative powerhouse on a mission to sprinkle more joy, colour and unapologetic weirdness into the world. Known for her perturbed animal illustrations, motivational rainbows, and fiercely supportive vibes, Katie creates artwork that feels like a hug in paper form.

She’s the kind of artist who wears her sensitivity like a cape — turning her feelings into fuel for uplifting, honest and empowering art. What began as drawing quirky creatures has grown into a vibrant brand built on the belief that your individuality is something to celebrate.

     .

From designing joyful merch to illustrating over 50 children’s books, Katie’s work is all about helping you feel proud of what makes you you. Her art doesn’t just look cute — it connects. It reminds you to rest, to rage against injustice, to embrace your weirdness, and to keep going even when it’s hard.

Together with her husband Jeff, Katie has also brought magic to the high street with Punnydukes, a bricks-and-mortar shop in Derbyshire full of wonder, witchy treasures and escape-from-reality vibes. It’s a space that, much like her art, feels like home for misfits, magic lovers and rainbow chasers alike.

So whether you’re looking for stationery that speaks your soul, a badge to boost your bravery, or a print that makes you smile on a rough day — Katie’s world is waiting for you.
