loish

i love disney.  cartoons in general, really, but disney has some great artists.  and, of course, artists who draw like disney.  since high school i've loved watching lois van baarie, and she has gone above and beyond disney, but still held on to something from her little mermaid days (which she revisits often).

to the left is one of her drawings from 2004 - adorable, illustrative, and intense colors.  still great, but i'm posting it just as a comparison to what she's doing now, below.  still a beautiful palette, still the sense of fantasy, but her colors and forms are so full and gorgeous.  its difficult to find things that glow on their own, but everything she makes manages to.
