Many people would look at my art and try to classify it into a certain category. This got me to thinking about how I could describe my style. My style can be described as real whimfansical. This description comes from the fact that my art is a combination of three styles. It is whimsical, mixed with fantasy and realism. After thinking about this combination I came up with the name real whimfansical, pronounced (whim-fans-ical). The name includes all three elements: whimsical, fantasy, and realism to produce whimfansical. leticiafrankio.com
Hand built clay art – both functional and sculptural pieced together from slabs leaving seams and fingerprints obvious. Doni uses darts like a seamstress and indents into the soft clay to create gesture and whimsical shape so that each piece might have a personality.

As far as I can remember I always had a lot of fun creating art. Making drawings of crazy characters has always been my way of generating smiles around me. In the year 2003 I began to paint. My basic idea was to transport the characters that I drew on paper to canvas. Starting from scratch, I experimented with oil paints for two years, painting wildly away without a lot of direction. Good times. Then I met this wise man named Jan Buytaert, who taught me how to use acrylic paint. This was the most important change in my painting style. Acrylics were the tools I needed to shape my own little world and bring my little weird characters to life. My main aim while painting is to have fun and enjoy the moment. I want to capture this good vibe in my paintings and transfer it to the public. This usually results in joyful works full of color and positive energy. With my paintings I like to invite viewers to look at the world through the eyes of a child and to revisit a childhood past of curiosity and enthusiastic discovery.
Original handmade micro-macramé and beaded jewelry. I get inspiration from natural forms and work mostly with natural materials—thread, silver, and semi-precious stones. I like simple beauty, but also enjoy more elaborate and intricate designs. lillianeelysian.com

After graduating from a Houston art college in 1992, Charlie had a 15-year career as a package designer in a Houston design company. While working on packaging for Minute Maid, Imperial Sugar and Hi-C, Charlie free-lanced as a rock poster artist on the side. After an illness in 2003 left him legally blind in 2007 and corporate downsizing in 2008 left him without a job, Charlie fell back on his love for creating rock posters as a way to earn a living. Now working out of his home studio, Charlie enjoys the time he dedicates to producing posters and exploring other areas of art including painting and print making.
I am a self-taught professional artist. I work in Krylon, Acrylic, Charcoal, and oil. My desire is to capture a moment in time and to allow the viewer to participate in that moment. www.toriahill.art
