Some artists that inspire me! The long descriptions are from the artists' own websites unless otherwise stated.

​

Megan Smith / The Repeal Hyde Art Project - "The Repeal Hyde Art Project raises awareness and creates dialogue about the Hyde Amendment, which blocks people from using Medicaid to pay for abortions. The Project accomplishes its mission through collaborative artsand shareable graphic content. It is a colorful, optimistic, and interactive response to Hyde that reflects the self-determination of the people who have overcome barriers and the hope for change."

​

@againstbound / Hector Mansilla - "When you think about art inspired by video games and pop culture, you usually think of fan art. But Hector Mansilla’s (a.k.a “againstbound”) art shows that video game-inspired art doesn’t have to be literal – it can be beautifully interpretive. Hector’s art is heavily inspired by his love of video games, but very rarely does it ever represent the game that inspired it in a readily recognizable way. Instead, his array of dark dahlia’s, sprawling lotuses, and organic-meets-geometric designs create a style and vibe all their own." (Threadless)

​

Noah Grigni - "Noah works mainly in ink and watercolor, often within the niche of autobiographical short comics and illustrated poetry, using expressive mark-making and bright washes of color to create images with strong personalities. Their work is both introspective and bold, balancing personal reflection and self discovery with community-driven projects. Their art is a reminder to heal and reflect, a call to action, and a celebration of queer love in its endless many forms."

 

Humby Art - "I find the mystery of the cosmos inspiring, and the contrast of colorful nebulae against black space beautiful. I try to recreate these qualities in my work, to provide a brief escape from the mundane, and showcase the beauty of the universe. My art consists of scenes from space, or everyday images that incorporate cosmic visuals. Pop culture is a huge influence in my work, and I am heavily inspired by cartoon illustration. I primarily work with watercolors and acrylic inks."

​

Alexandra Kern / @zandraart - super beautiful ethereal landscapes! with a fantasy vibe. totally transportive / transcendent.

​

Peter Mohrbacher - creater of The Angelarium - "Back in 2005, I discovered that there were thousands of named angels throughout multiple mythologies. I've been hooked ever since and Angelarium has been a part of my life every single day. Even when I'm not paying attention to it, it's gone out on the internet and had a life of its own. The name of the project has come to define the idea of surreal angelic figures."

​

Duvet Days / @duvet_days - This is art to benefit survivors. human anatomy with flowers and stars, etc. beautiful and informative.

wolfandbear.co / Nigel and Kyria Smith - "Art close to nature's heart" - "We live in Boyne City, Michigan, on a sustainable farm, and we're passionate about protecting our planet. We try to source our materials as sustainably as possible. Most of our packaging is made from recycled materials and is compostable or recyclable. Our Hahnemuhle print paper is produced using green power and supports environmental projects. Our postcards are printed on recycled paper, and our greeting cards are printed on 100% post consumer recycled fiber, using soy based inks. Even the envelopes are recycled! Our apparel and totes are sourced from companies that offer healthy working conditions and fair wages to their employees. We try to create, produce, and package all our products ourselves, or have them made as locally as possible. We take great pride in providing quality art and products that have the health of the planet in mind.

 

 

 

You may notice that most of our artwork is themed around the great outdoors, inspired by childhoods spent tromping through the forests, fields, and waterways of Northern Michigan (Kyria) and Northern Ireland (Nigel). However, you'll find some more nerdy pieces here and there. We're not ashamed to let our nerd flags fly, and we love all things fantasy, sci-fi, and science-related.

 

You've probably also noticed some hand-embellished gold leaf on some of our pieces. This is done by first applying a special adhesive in the desired pattern and then brushing on the fragile sheets of gold leaf once it's dry. For us, the natural world is filled with mystery and magic, and we feel the gold represents that touch of divine we find in the cathedral of nature."

Camille Chew - "Camille Chew is an illustrator whose work explores themes of mythology, fantasy, and the occult."
