June Art Roundup: Cute Cryptozoology & Warrior Women

It's time to ART!

And thanks to MegaCon last month, I have lots of new goodies and fun styles for you to ogle:

First up, Jellykoe Studios:

This is a husband-wife team that produces everything from plush toys to prints to t-shirts. And while their fandom section is massive, I think I like their original stuff even better! Check out the online store to see the rest.

***

Stephen Najarian makes fantasy fine art - the kind you put in nice frames out in the living room, because even non-geeks will appreciate this goodness:

This one is calling my name.

Stunning, am I right?

Check out his online store here.

***

Ash Evans paints the most delightfully whimsical animals:


I think this is my favorite - but then look at this fox!

DAT FACE.

Ash has everything from cats-in-teacups to seasonal unicorns:

Go see the rest in her shop!

***

Brenon Draws doesn't have much in his online store, but happily he DOES have the two prints that really grabbed me at MegaCon:

THESE COLORS, Y'ALL. They're just so happy.
(Did you notice the baby Groots? And the umbrella? :D)

Awww yeeeah.

Prints are just $15 each here in his shop.

***

Danamarie Hosler has a sweet watercolor style I just love:

 

 This is her homage/twist on Dumbo, and check out her sleeping Alice:

 How many Wonderland Easter eggs can you spot? I think my favorite are the Tweedle bed posts.

Hosler also has an alphabet series of "Under Appreciated Animals," which you can get as a poster:

OR as individual postcards, or even throw pillows!

 SO CUTE. Go see Hosler's shop for lots more, including plush dolls and fiber art.

And finally, Shawli Chen's Fantasy Art usually sells at cons in Japan, so it was a real treat to see her work in person. She had this one printed on metal, and I can't begin to tell you how gorgeous it was:

The paper prints are stunning, too, but the metal version practically glowed. 

I don't think the metal versions are available online, but Shawli has a Facebook shop where you can order regular prints for $40, including this "Sleepless Night" series:

She has more princesses to choose from, too. Go see!
(Note: Shawli's actual website has NSFW pieces, but the FB shop isn't any more risque than these.)

Give-Away Time!

First, John tells me NONE of our winners from last month claimed their prizes(!?), so if you commented on the May Roundup, go see if you won, k? Otherwise I'll announce new winners for last month along with this month's picks.

Now, comment below for the chance to win your choice of free art from my Pinterest Art Give-Away Board! In addition to one Wild Card winner, I'll also choose two more of you to win these:

So be sure to tell me in your comment if you like either/both of those, so I can enter you in those drawings, too. Then watch my next post to see if you won!

Happy commenting!

UPDATE: The give-away has ended!

The winner of the Avengers poster is SilverIvy

The winner of Alien vs Predator is Annette (the one who said she wants that print) 

And the Wildcard winner is Emily Robin

But wait, there's more! 

My new winners for LAST month are:

C (of the blog Autistic in Alabama) gets the original Robot

and Lewis B gets the Wildcard!

Congrats, everyone, and please e-mail me your mailing addresses!
