Wednesday Art Feature: Uncle Patrick (Lauren Young Smith)

Uncle Patrick (aka Lauren YoungSmith) is one of my newest finds of Deviant Art. Her gallery is stunning, it's full of weird creatures and creepy humanoids. I'm absolutely in love with her work, I wish I could jump in her head and see all of the monsters and creatures she comes up with.

Wednesday Art Feature: Chertila

Chertila is probably the youngest artist I've featured on my weekly art features. She's only 17 and already has so much talent.

I love her linework and how she draws figures. Over the past year I've watched her work really develop on Deviant Art and I'm looking forward to seeing what she comes up with in the next few years! She's definitely one to watch out for!

A lot of Chertila's work is inspired by Radiohead. I think you can see this a lot in her work, there's a delicate and vulnerable feeling to it.

Wednesday Art Feature: Grelin Machin

Grelin Machin is one of those people you can't help but admire. Not only is she skilled in digital illustration, but she can also paint, make kick ass plushies and sculpt too!

Her work really stands out to me because of her great use of bright colours and her creepy/cute style. I love the way she illustrates beautiful women surrounded by creepy and adorable monsters.

Grelin's work has been a constant source of inspiration to me, in fact, it was her work that made me start learning adobe illustrator! I hope one day I can be almost as skilled as this talented lady.

Wednesday Art Feature: Brooke Weeber

Brooke Weeber is a Portland based illustrator. Her work seems to be heavily inspired by the sea, nature, adventures and Victorian times.

I especially love Brooke's narwhal illustrations, they're so cute! She even sells a narwhal mug in her etsy shop.

Wednesday Art Feature: Jen Mann

Jen Mann is a Canadian based artist who specialises in mainly oil paintings. I first noticed her work on Tumblr, her beautiful painting of a blueish toned man on a pink background stunned me. I knew I had to see more of her beautiful work!

Jen's art explores the subconcious, beauty, identity and freedom. The finished pieces will take your breath away, they look fragile yet strong, and spiritual yet realistic.

Wednesday Art Feature: Laura Manfre

I first came accross Laura's work when she did a portrait of Kailey from mermaidens. I was so impressed with the portrait that I decided to check out her other work. I was not disappointed!

Laura's work is the perfect combination of cute and kitsch. Her work is skillfully painted in watercolours which I think adds a new and unique take on the previously shiney and in your face kitsch style.

I think the kitsch pattern and the adorable unicorns are my favs!
