August Art Roundup: Paper Ponies, Tattooed Belle, & AT-AT Walkies!

Time for another month's best art finds! I spotted almost all of these during Tampa Bay Comic-Con.

From Barrett Biggers:

"San"

 "Spider-Gwen"

 "Mononoke Hime Inspired Deer God"

Absolutely gorgeous. Prints come in a huge variety of sizes & materials, and start at just $10 in Biggers Etsy shop.

I'm a big fan of papercutting, so John and I spent a while ogling The Paper Pony's booth:

These are made by a husband-and-wife team, and we ended up chatting with the hubs, Brian, quite a while. Super sweet guy. Their pieces start at $35 for the individually framed ponies up there, and go up to $100 for this insanely intricate Wind Waker design:

As their name suggests they make LOTS of different MLP art, but there are plenty of other fandoms, too, from Mario to Buffy to Totoro. Go see their Etsy shop for the rest!

"Inked Belle" by Joel Santana

LOVE her tattoos. And check out little Chip!

Joel does sell prints, but it looks like his online shop is down for maintenance right now. Maybe watch his Facebook page for updates?

Oh, and I talked John into buying that print at Tampa Comic-Con, but he was so embarrassed - and still is - that I don't think he'll ever hang it up. So you guys MAY be getting a new prize option on the give-away board later. ;)

Fantastic colors from Luis Santiago, aka Pertheseus:

 

You can see all of his work on DeviantArt, and he sells some prints here on Redbubble. (You can also follow him on Facebook!)

Iron Giant by Kalli LeFav:

I bought a small version for the board, but you can buy larger sizes here, starting at $15.

I couldn't find the other two prints I got from Kalli on any of her various sites, which is frustrating. (I find most artists have an average of 4-6 different websites/social media accounts, each with a different assortment of art. It... gets really confusing. :/)

Anyhoo, here's a low quality scan of my favorite of hers:

 Isn't it gorgeous? You can follow Kalli on Facebook, and see more of her prints in this online store.

New droid print from my friend Christie Cox:

This and her other prints are just $5! Here's her Etsy shop for the rest.

Will Pigg also has some STUNNING paper art, including these intricate hand-cut silhouettes:

 

He frames them between two pieces of glass, so the white sections are actually clear. 

 They have an elegant, almost art nouveau feel. Love.

Check out all the tiny details in this Princess Bride one:

The papercuttings are $45 at Will's Etsy shop - or more, if you want them framed.

Oh! And Will also paints! John fell for this sad, crooked little TARDIS, and had to buy a print:

Small prints start at just $10. Go see the rest!

Erich Schoenholtz is a new artist with some fun, retro-styled comic posters:

Really punchy in person, especially in large sizes. Erich doesn't sell online yet, so I bought the Cap one for the give-away board. Give Erich a follow on Facebook, and while you're at it, tell him to open an online shop!

Some pretty watercolors by Jessica Thomas:

These prints start at just $3! 

Her ACEOs are also quite drool-worthy:

 

So... tempted....

Lots more goodies - from bookmarks to stickers to pins - in Jessica's Etsy shop.

I had to buy these 2 poster prints from James Mascia:

See why? :)

Lots more in his DeviantArt Gallery, but sadly James doesn't sell his art online. Those two are going on the give-away board, though, so at least you can win them here!

For you parents, here's something fun from the Epbot P.O. Box: David Zobel sent me his new "Monsterbet" book:

Really delightful stuff, and there are a few bonus coloring pages at the end of the book.

Then David sweetened the surprise by including this:

AWW YEAAAAH, monstrous EPBOT! Woot woot!

You can buy prints of David's monsters, plus his book, PLUS custom name plates like mine, here at his website.

I've featured Katrina of Kicking Cones before, but she's come out with some fabulous new (to me) pieces. In fact, John and I kept coming back to buy more of her stuff! John got this for his man cave:

And I got this one:

I don't usually go for words on art, but this one socked me right in the gut. Love it.

Katrina likes to combine two of my favorite things: cuteness, and PUNS:

Where my math nerds at?

 We got this one on a coffee mug for a friend:

 And this happens to be the only print in Katrina's Etsy shop for some reason. Uh... Katrina? MOAR PLS.

And finally, an original marker sketch we picked up from Kit Steele:

This was just an ink sketch at first, and Kit actually never intended for him to look like Figment. Isn't he the spitting image, though? So we asked her to add some Figmenty colors. :)

Kit doesn't sell online, but she goes to LOTS of conventions. Give her a follow on Facebook to keep up.

Phew, lotta art this month! Hope you guys enjoyed. Now, as always, comment below for a chance to win your choice of art from my Pinterest Art Give-Away Board!

In addition to my one wildcard winner, I'll ALSO be choosing 2 winners for these original pieces of art:
