February Art Roundup: Trek Ladies, Potter Cards, & Squee-Worthy Owl Dolls!

Ahh, it's been too long! Sorry for skipping last month's art roundup, gang, I'll try to make up for it with the sheer awesomeness of this month's finds.

First up, Crystal Ord of Smalls Ord Art has the sweetest watercolor style:

And I really dig her fandom choices, too:

Prints are $10 or less in her Etsy shop, where she also offers commissions! Also be sure to follow Ord on Instagram for more eye candy.

Joe Corroney has some STUNNING Star Wars art on his site, like this Carrie Fisher tribute:

His Star Trek propaganda pieces are actually my favorite, though:

I'm digging the all-lady design on the "where no man has gone before" poster. I like how it's putting a spotlight on background characters, and the colors are drool-worthy.

Go check out Corroney's online store to see tons more.

This ORIGINAL Merida painting by Genevieve Kay is still available for $40, which completely boggles my mind. My clicky "purchase" finger is itching, you guys. Save me from myself:

Kay has a whole series of Art Nouveau princesses, and you can get the prints for just $8:

 

Go see the rest!

John and I got to meet Lisa Villella at Holiday Matsuri in December, and we pretty much lost our minds over her Harry Potter art. The first to catch my eye were her Chocolate Frog card keychains:

 They're double-sided, sealed in thick shiny plexiglass, and look fabulous in person.

THEN Lisa has an entire deck of playing cards, each featuring a different original painting of a character from the books.

The entire deck is understandably pricey ($50), but you can also buy individual prints of each card for between $5 and $15. YASSSS. (Luna's is especially wonderful.)

John immediately asked if Lisa had Kreacher in her deck, and upon learning she did NOT, began a spirited, multi-session debate over who the best character in the entire Potter 'verse is. Lisa argued - quite convincingly, I might add - for Hagrid. 

And just HOW convincing was she? Well, take a look at the newest addition in John's room:

 (Sorry for the terrible cellphone pic... taken at midnight.)

 Each of Lisa's cards has two versions of the character, and you can display it either way up. Hagrid's has one side with him cradling Harry as a baby, and the other side with him carrying Harry's dead body in book seven. (And if that doesn't make your eyes dusty, Potterheads, then you are made of STONE. [sob])

Right. Blowing my nose and moving on...

Danielle Sylvan is another artist offering those fabulous double-sided keychains:

Lars and Lion! 

(John and I are binge-watching our way through the last few seasons of Steven Universe, so I am ALL about the SU love.)

No specific fandom for these little crabs - they're just adorable:

Then there's her goooorgeous Moana print:

See the rest in her Etsy shop!

And finally, when I first saw this adorableness by White Forest Studios, I thought it was a painting:

 

Upon further investigation I realized it was a real-life art doll, and about blew the roof off with my squealing.

And THEN I found her owls(!!):

 

 Ermergersh. MELTING.

You can buy that last owl in her shop now for just under $300, or you can commission your own creature on White Forest's website. (She also makes rabbits and elephants and all kinds of things.)

Or, if that's out of your price range, then be like me and just follow her on Instagram for a steady stream of cuteness like this in your feed:

 EEE! These really should/could be art prints, am I right? ::hint hint::

Hope you guys found some smiles and new artists to follow! Now, let's give away some art. 

As always, comment below for a chance to win your choice of free art from my Pinterest Art Give-Away Board (which just got a bunch of new stuff)! In addition to one wild card winner, I'll also pick two more of you to win these:

Both were only available through the Wonderground Galleries at the Disney parks, and I don't think you can buy them anymore.

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! I'll ship anywhere, internationals welcome. I'll announce all three winners in my very next post, so PLEASE REMEMBER TO CHECK BACK. Unclaimed art will go to whoever's the fastest commenter on Facebook, ha.

Happy commenting, and happy Friday!

UPDATE: The give-away has ended! 

The winner of "Date Night" is Corryn Anderson

The winner of "Oswald" is Alyssa Cooper

And my wildcard winner is the Jessica who said she wanted the armless Wam-Pal

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