Creativity I Admire

    Throughout the world are artists undiscovered by each other. While some artist are successful in finding publicity, others remain uncovered either by choice or the inability to spread their art. With that in mind, it can be interesting to grasp the plethora of artwork out in the world in which we haven't discovered ourselves. In fact, it can become even more overwhelming when we realize there is more artwork in the world that we haven't seen than artwork we have seen. Receiving media is at an all-time high due to the eruption of the print and digital world. Opportunities to discover and unfold new art and new artists has never been been more accessible. Given this opportunity, I have discovered 4 artist from the 4 different magazines listed by the Creativity I Admire assignment.
