Recently I have managed to make it through all the deviations of those I watch and actually take time to look and comment on some. I remember why I love being on DA. Seeing this creativity in the world is wonderful.

Many of you probably have your own plethora of artists you watch who fill your boxes with deviations regularly. I wanted to share with you some who over my two years on DA have continued to impress me again and again with their talent. This is not to say these are the only ones who are worth a deeper look on my list. I simply have something to say about their most recent work and I have never met any of them so all I know of them is through their art.

If you have time please take some to actually click on the pictures, fullview and read the descriptions, as I find each of these steps to have their own rewards.


This DA artist is actually a published children’s book author. Her pictures have made me smile time and again pretty much from the moment I joined DA. Here are a couple of her recent pictures. I strongly recommend reading the description she writes of the rather normal goldfish picture. It makes the picture!




This artist creates visually alive scenes telling stories with images that I find to be a feast for the eyes. Of course I had to favorite a giant alien robot reigning destruction down upon a city. But he also draws scenes depicting a post apocalyptic future, space exploration, fantasy, and historic naval battles. He shares the methods of his creative work from time to time which I find fascinating as a watcher. Now is the time to start following him if you are so inclined as every year he produces a phenomenal Halloween themed picture.




This artist holds a special place in my heart as most of his pictures are taken in Utah which is a land of much beauty and a place I love very much. With his old film cameras he manages to capture unique images of very alive deserts as well as the decay of the many abandoned human structures found in the often unforgiving West. His series of chair photos that he adds to periodically was actually the inspiration for my pursuit of lamp post pictures.




This artist’s drawings are what drew me to him. He doesn’t post every often, but his drawings are so intricately detailed and full of myth and meaning that pouring over one of them is like reading an entire story. Recently he has begun posting videos in which he brings his drawings to life to convey messages. This recent one is just a demo – I can’t wait to see the whole thing. It is worth the watch.




I have enjoyed watching this artist’s work develop as he looks for opportunities to capture street scenes, portraits, amusing composed shots, and lovely nature scenes. He writes of what he is working on, and it is fun to see in action. He is a fantastic combination of humor and talent. Nothing limits him.



There are many more I’d like to feature but I don’t want this to get too long. I’d love to see some features from other people like this too - not just of pictures they like, but of the artists themselves. I am fascinated by the people behind the art as much as the art itself.

Enjoy!
