[Here Only] Nidhi - Desi (and not) art I love

[Susie]

I have a big, gaping hole on my pretty gray wall (that most people think is purple, and that I usually feel the need to correct them that it's gray, even though what's the big deal). I've shared my many rules about artwork and I've also shared how I'm cheap. So, mostly, I browse Etsy for cute things, then decide I can make it myself.

Not this time.

This time, I fell so in love with something that I can NOT do myself that happens to meet my rules. (Specifically, that it can't just be pretty - it must be sentimental or meaningful).

Let me introduce you Nidhi, my new favorite artist/illustrator and her amazing Etsy shop.

Nidhi was born in Calcutta and raised in California, and her so much of her work reflects the beauty of Indian culture. Her characters are adorable and her artistry is impeccable; things like lighting and coloring and all those things that if I knew more about, maybe I could draw things like this myself. (probably not, though)

Anyway, do you want to see what I just bought?

I wanted to buy more, like:

What do you think? Do you love this as much as I do? Which one is your favorite? Do you have other favorite Desi artists?
