Too Good Not To Share (II)

And the topic continues from my earlier post, Too Good Not To Share (I)....

Much as I hate to admit, I have been procrastinating to write this post for the longest time. It kills me just to decide which artists to choose out of the list of talents from my Etsy favorites and which of their works to feature.

I have an obsession for dark/mysterious/surreal art since my teenage years. Something I couldn't quite comprehend. From what I know, people who love this kind of art usually have a very 'different' fashion sense. More Sarah Brightman perhaps? (Oh by the way, I LOVE her music). I don't know but that kind of dressing is just not me. Or rather, I am plain lazy to even bother about what to wear. Okay, that's beside the point.

After much agony, following are the pieces I've selected. The first artist is artandghosts. This name itself has already tell us what to expect. And in slightly more than two years, Louise has made over 2300 sales in Etsy! One word, envy.

All in a Row


The Sympathy of Wolves


Blue safari


TheNebulousKingdom has a very dreamy style. Looking at her art makes me feel like I'm reading a fairytale.

The End Draws Near


L'envol des Libellules


The Siamese Sisters


I like the very soft and gentle mood of Kendrabinney's drawings. Those big sad eyes tell the stories.

Someone To Hold Onto


Disregarded Ghosts


Forgotten Things


myfolklover has made it to Etsy front page several times and it's not hard to understand why. I like her elegant and sophisticated style.

House By The Sea


Spooked


Waiting By The Sea


I like the way how Zeng portray animals beautifully in human forms. Strangely fascinating.

A Rabbit Girl and A Cat With Mask


Rabbit Girls


A Rabbit Girl With Her Favorite Rabbit


If you like what I've shared with you here, you would probably like these few other artists. Ray Caesar, Tamaxxx and Audrey Kawasaki. They have been my greatest inspirations since the birth of Byrheea. :)
