Juri Crazy Good Artist
First: Today’s sketch really has nothing to do with the rest of the post.
So yesterday I told you about the dark and raw artist whose stuff I discovered at Otakon. Today you get the other end of the spectrum, Juri Hayasaka. When I walked past this young lady’s booth I had to turn around and do a double take. Her work is absolutely gorgeous, the kind of stuff that makes me feel like an absolute hack.
Juri’s little, unpretentious table was filled with more good art than any other full row of tables I walked past. Her pen and ink sketches were absolutely beautiful, better than much of the finished art I was seeing sold at other tables. And the crazy part? She was selling them for only 1-3 DOLLARS. I… ju… y’know, all I’m going to do is keep gushing over her work. really just go look at it for yourself. She focuses a lot on fairy tales and legends and someday I hope to own and original of her work.

Wow, her stuff is amazing. Of course, I admire anyone who can draw since I can’t even draw a straight line without using a ruler (and even then I can mess it up).
