My favorite artist. Wendy Froud is an American sculptor best known for sculpting Yoda in Star Wars: The Emperor Strikes Back.
She genuinely brings magic to this earth. Her sculptures are unreal. If you like fantasy, more specifically fairies, you should definitely check out her work.
I linked her website (where you can also check out the whole Froud family’s work). She also has a book called The Art of Wendy Froud which is beautiful and a very interesting read!

I found this at the vintage flea and it sent me down a rabbit hole. This is called The Swan Boat of Galadriel. She is the artist behind a LOT of sci-fi/fantasy book covers, and some of her art was in Saddam Hussein's collection (random!).
I really love this illustrative style. Artists like Rowena, Bruce Vallejo, Frank Frazetta, Jeffrey Catherine Jones, and others create very rich and immersive artwork that should not be overlooked!

- Eugène Delacroix, Apollo Slaying the Serpent Python: I could stay in this gallery for hours and just stare at the ceiling if that was socially acceptable
- Michaelangelo, Sistine Chapel: You know her, you love her! Especially when it’s summer and you’re absolutely in need of fresh are and so you round the corner to see this diva!! la vita è bella
- Sandro Botticelli, The Birth of Venus: I love the pastels in this so much and the way the hair flows and the shell and just 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 I will laugh every time this is emulated in media!!!
- Kehinde Wiley, Philip the Fair: I saw this at a museum when I was a mess emotionally and it was so beautiful and vast and gorgeous that I teared up!
- Pierre Auguste Cot, The Storm: This is for the yearning and when I see it I’ll year again every time without fail
- Hans Holbein the Younger, The Ambassadors: I love these two freaks and the fun little sneaky third guy!! I learned about this in a history class that I ended up despising bc my brain doesn’t work to memorize dates are u kidding me!! I remember all the paintings and this one was always such a fixture for me
- Artemisia Gentileschi, Judith and Her Maidservant: it’s definitely the theater adult in me that lives and loves Baroque but with that in mind - the lighting in this is so powerful

for overall artists, i really enjoy the body of work by photographer renée cox. i love her takes on representation and her unapologetic nature. i wasn’t much of a photography girl before her, but i get it now. i also really enjoy the paintings of oda iselin sønderland and the mood she’s able to capture with them. and i can’t forget the works of aya takano! i love the world she’s crafted and the figures that come out of it. she reminds me that i’m a woman but also still a girl if that makes sense.
for favorite contemporary works of art in general, that’s even harder as i have so many! for now, i’ll choose kiki smith’s 1996 piece “constellation” (pictured here). but i could go on forever.

Some people don’t like this but I Love It. Because hear me out:
I’ve got really no one to send songs to specifically. My friends have different music taste than me. But when I find a really good song, I just want to share it. So I post them in hopes that someone will listen to it and enjoy it. I’ll never know if they do but it’s the idea that they might that makes it fun. I just want to share cool stuff.
