Artists I’m Obsessed With Right Now

We all get stuff stuck in our heads. In my case, a lot of stuff! Here are some artists who’ve been in my noggin lately, as well as how they inspire my writing…

1. Alexander McQueen

I love the obsession to detail in his work. Move one bead or feather on the pieces below, and they’d fall apart. I get this way with my world building, too. I put in a ton of detail that never shows on the page. Except that it somehow does. McQueen reminds me of that. Tons of work often looks effortless if it’s done right.

2. Mia Pearlman

I adore what this woman does with cut paper. It’s such a mundane and fragile object, and she creates these elaborate and permanent worlds with it. Beautiful. Inspires me to find fantasy universes in places you wouldn’t expect.

3. Alphonse Mucha

There’s no one like Mucha. What I so admire about his work is how he uses the frame as part of the image. Check out the illustration of the moon below, with and without the frame. He makes presentation a central part to his art…and does it so effortlessly. Reminds me to set things up properly when I write, too.
