There are artists who only do illustrations. There are artists who only make toys. And there are artists who only make comics.
It’s like Kelsey Wailes just went, “I want to make ALL OF THE THINGS!” And she set out to do just that.
This woman does comics, illustrations, toys, sculptures… It’s like she rocks any artistic outlet she sets her sights on. Pretty much anything she creates seems like something fresh, from colored pencil portraits to Doctor Whooooo toys.
While a lot of the work she makes falls within the realms of fanart, it’s still great to see such well-executed work in such a wide variety of media.
I had the pleasure of seeing her work first hand at Intervention Con, and I even got to sit in on a panel she ran. The panel was all about how to make vinyl toys like the Doctor Whooo above. She’s a great educator and quite the inspirational speaker.
To be frank, all of that creative energy and all of the outlets she has to express that creativity…make me a little jealous. But in a good way.
It makes me want to experiment and try new creative things, learn new techniques, try new media…
Plus, her comics make me laugh super hard.
You can read her comic Doctor Kawaii online, and you can also find her work on Etsy and Tumblr. Mostly I follow her on Twitter because I’m a weirdo.
So who are some of your favorite artists? Let me know in the comments below!
Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you on Tuesday.
