this is a list of my favorite artists, in no particular order. these are artists whose work i've admired for years (in most cases) that sticks out in my mind as being uniquely inspiring to me. i wanted to put them here on this page as my way of showing some appreciation for the beautiful art they put into the world that i have the privilege of experiencing. i hope you like their art too!

all of the images on this page belong to each of the people they represent. anyone without an icon has listed on their profile/s explicitly not to use their art without permission. the art used here is, of course, only intended to showcase the skills of the people listed (where applicable, since some icons were not drawn by the artists themselves). :)

if you're on this page and you don't want to be, please don't hesitate to contact me and let me know. i will take you off as soon as i can.
