There are SO MANY talented digital artists out there! Throughout the past 7 weeks we have explored 7 popular or up and coming artists that are working today. 

The awesome thing about digital art is that it is so new that there are new discoveries being made all the time and there is no wrong way to go about making it! I hope you are inspired by these artists to explore your own style and techniques within digital art. It is so much fun and the possibilities are endless!

Tracie Ching is the LAST famous digital artist that we’ll be discussing in this series. She is a little different because she is not only more of a digital illustrator than many of the other artists, but she also works in vector graphics.

Though she is known for her digital movie posters, this is certainly not where Tracie started. She graduated in 2009 with a fine arts degree and she specialized in mixed media and sculpture. However, due to a couple different circumstances, she did not follow that career path. 

Do you ever just let your imagination take you away? Have you ever looked at a Chicken and wondered what it would look like if it had the legs of a cow? How about a dog with a head of cauliflower? Well, if you have, then you will love exploring this week's famous digital artist, Stephen McMennamy.

Perhaps the most recognizable work of this week’s digital artist Sean Charmatz would be his work as a storyboard artist and director for SpongeBob SquarePants. It’s true, SpongeBob is a really big deal, but SpongeBob was just the beginning of his career.

It all started when he was working as a tour guide and a phone service personnel at Nickelodeon in 2001. He worked at that position for 3 years before someone noticed his work and asked him if he wanted to work in the animation department. Barely able to keep in his excitement, he moved onto work with Spongebob for 6 years.

Cute! This is how you would describe today’s digital artist in one word. Lynn Chen, currently a visual development artist for Warner Brothers, has always loved art, but her hobby turned into passion when she went to an art college and used her first Wacom tablet.

Finding his beginnings as a graphic design graduate from Brigham Young University, Jason Naylor’s career took a huge turn when he moved to New York City for a change of scenery and to “immerse himself into the life, color and magic of NYC.” He found a job working in the Creative Department at M·A·C Cosmetics, but after working with some freelance artists and desiring to set off on his own and spread his own message on the streets, he made a career change.

If you’ve done any research on surreal photography, you would likely find Erik Johansson in your search results. Born in 1985 in Sweden, Erik didn’t set out to be a photographer.

For one who didn’t really set out to be a digital artist, Alexis Franklin has made quite a name for herself.

When I first dove into the realm of digital art, I had no idea what I was getting into! As in physical art, there are SO MANY different types or styles that one could use when approaching it. There are so many different categories and subcategories that it is hard to narrow it down to a handful of categories.
