10 Artists That Will Get You Into The Cute & Cuddly Halloween Spirit

Halloween really started early this year, and this sweaty Florida swamp-dweller approves. For some reason I'm feeling Fall like never before, and I just can't get enough of all the pumpkins and ghosts and cute little bats in my feeds. It's all so warm and cozy, minus the sunburns and 400% humidity.

If you're feeling Fall, too, then I've got 10 artists here to get you further into the holiday spirits. Yep, hold on to your PSLs, witches, it's about to get SPOOPY CUTE in here!

Starting with the clay creations of Maikki May Darling Designs:

Come on. How adorable are these??

Maikki specializes in these little ghosties:

Which is appropriate, since I am now ded.

*****

How about a little Hocus Pocus from Laura Ellen Anderson?

Laura is also an author, and she's written (and illustrated!) a whole series about Amelia Fang here:

Look how fun the box set is!

Amelia Fang Collection

Now even your kids' reading material can be seasonally appropriate.  :)

Next some precious pumpkins and forest witches by Keepers of Nature:

Each little witch has their own accessories and squee-worthy animal assistants:

The non-seasonal Keepers are just as precious, definitely give them a follow for more.

*****

More forest witches from the amazing Geneva of gdbee - this time in pastels!
 

And also more traditional Autumn tones:

Geneva's colors are incredible, so many dreamy, vivid blends:

*****

Juliette of WhyHouses has a soft pencil-sketch style that feels vintage and modern at the same time:

She also has ADORABLE stickers for sale and a criminally low follower count, so go show her some love, won't you?

*****

Willow Works Studio continues to blow my mind with her teeny, one-of-a-kind sculpts:

Every sale she drops I find a new favorite, I love all her creatures:

And now she's even making ones with moving parts!

You know the kind of art that instantly makes you grin? For me that's every single sculpture from Chicken Lips by David Everett:

Bat Bones & Robin!

David hand sculpts every hilarious piece,  I love seeing the process pics on his Instagram.

They're like cartoons come to life!

I know the giant eyes and grins ride that creepy/cute line, but for me it's pure giggle fuel.

Another artist with way too much talent to have this few followers: my friend Bonnie Wong:

She draws with the kind of precision you have to see to believe; I've never seen such tiny pen strokes.

Plus she has great taste in fandoms, I think y'all will approve:

*****

Here's some colorful retro goodness by Anna & Daniel Clark of We Are Pretend Friends:

 I'm a sucker for old Halloween art, and this feels vintage in the best way.

For my fellow Disney fans, they also did a huge tribute piece for the Haunted Mansion!

Click to embiggen, there are so many great details!

And finally, let's end with something a little different: handmade, Halloween-themed sun catchers by Tiff & Micah of Margay B:

OoooOOOooh.

Tiff and Micah hand-cut and solder the metal, then cover these beauties in those incredible sparkling crystals and charms. Breath-taking, right?

They only post videos, since you really need to see the sparkle in action to appreciate each one - but here are screenshots of a couple more Halloween designs:

This Jack-o-lantern has the coolest reflection on the wall - I thought it was a projection!

These pics don't do them justice, definitely go watch the videos over on the Margay B Instagram.


In fact I hope you'll click over and follow all of your favorites here! Not only does it help support more independent artists, it'll also make your feed a happier, spookier, cozier place. Win-win. :)
