{a list of…} a few of my favorite creatives

Today I’m going to share a few of my all-time favorite creatives.  Enjoy!

1. {Tim Burton} – I enjoy his sense of humor and admire his ability to let go and let things be as they are.  The Nightmare Before Christmas and Vincent are what grabbed me at young age.  My brother and I would watch the movie over and over again singing all of the songs.  I’m pretty sure I memorize each of them to this day…
2. {Mark Ryden} – I love how his paintings make you want to look at them for a long time, because there is so much more going on in each painting than you might first think.
3. {Ray Caesar} – The fact that his art is digital and looks like oil paintings is reason enough to enjoy his art.
4. {Lucia Holm} – The lighting in her photography is what captures me every time!
5. {Johnny Depp} – He can transform into any character imaginable, and he does it with grace.  He’s my favorite actor and always will be.
6. {Bosch} – I enjoy the darker thoughts and meaning behind his work.
7. {Jan Van Eyck} – His use of color and reflection is amazing!
8. {Bernini} – He has created sculptures to last a lifetime.  And they hold so much detail!
9. {Shel Silverstein} – Not only do his poems grab onto you, but his simple-lined drawing really tell the story of each poem. I’ll never forget when my mom gave me my very first Shel Silverstein book… Where The Sidewalk Ends… I never got tired of reading it!
10. {Dr. Seuss} – I love the rhymes and colorful imagery.
