[FANTASY ART] [ILLUSTRATION] Tony DiTerlizzi

Remember back in childhood when we were so innocent we believed in the fairies that lived in the garden, under the tulips or in the forest, in mushroom caps? Tony DiTerlizzi's fairy art illustrations are quite close to what I imagined fantastic beings would look like. The American fantasy artist advises everybody to Never Abandon Imagination and taking a look at these beautiful creatures I'm ashamed to say I often forget about that.

[DIGITAL ART] [ILLUSTRATION] Daniel Donciu

We found Romanian sci-fi and fantasy artist Daniel Donciu just recently and we were so baffled by the detail in his works that we just couldn't have enough with just a couple of illustrations. We're not the only ones so mesmerized by Daniel Donciu since the man has been awarded dozens of times. He is currently working for NCsoft overseeing the Guild Wars franchise.

[ILLUSTRATION] Louis Wain

If you'd ask the average art lover of today who is their favorite artist, you'd be surprised how many will answer Louis Wain. And it's not because they share a love for cats. Although not even half as popular as Salvador Dali, the British artist Louis Wain brings something new to the table. His intricate illustrations, so psychedelic way before the 60s, go way beyond his "fanciful cat creations". In 1924 he was officially diagnosed with schizophrenia and oftentimes had aggressive, abusive and even violent episodes.

However, despite his mental disorder, Louis Wain continued to draw. It was soon after being committed into a hospital that he created the kaleidoscope cats, that ranged from amazing and intricate geometric patterns to intense colored geometric fragments. He died in 1939.
