Shane Seivewright is a visual artist from Ontario whose work centers on anthropomorphic characters — animal people that become vessels for self-expression, identity, and belonging. Growing up feeling like the black sheep, often called “weird,” “awkward,” or “nerdy,” Shane embraced those traits and translated them into art that gives voice to people who feel unseen.
As a professional illustrator with seven years of experience, Monorthern specializes in creating captivating artwork for music albums, book covers, t-shirts, and custom product illustrations. His work is shaped by a love for black-and-white drawing, especially using stippling techniques, and often explores themes of death, myth, nature, loneliness, and sadness. Though he began with ink on paper, in 2023 he started experimenting with digital art, drawn in by curiosity and a desire for a more efficient workflow. Digital tools offered new possibilities without compromising the soul of his process.
Alai Ganuza is an artist, educator, and founder of one of the fastest-growing online communities dedicated to contemporary realism and creative learning. While she’s best known for her oil paintings, her creative process often begins in the digital world. From early fan art inspired by anime and video games to sketching ideas on a tablet during art school, digital tools have always been part of her practice. For Alai, painting is about exploring emotion, memory, and atmosphere, whether through canvas or screen.
Erdoğan Paksoy is a Turkish visual artist whose work bridges classical fine arts and contemporary digital practices. Trained in traditional techniques, he began integrating digital tools into his practice during the pandemic, drawn by a growing curiosity for new media and technology. His entry into the NFT space marked a major milestone, expanding his international reach and allowing his work to find collectors and collaborators across the globe.
Ls528 is the digital alias of London-based artist and designer Laura Shepherd, whose work explores simulated psychedelic experience and the speculative potential of machine consciousness. Fusing high-definition vector art with organic, fluid forms, her practice creates multi-sensory encounters that transcend classical spacetime and gesture toward hyper-dimensional realities. Drawing from Art Nouveau, 1960s psychedelia, and emerging research in bioelectricity, she blends avant-garde aesthetics with critical reflections on wellness culture and technology as a medium for transcendence.
Roy Efrat is a Berlin-based artist and PhD candidate at Freie Universität Berlin whose interdisciplinary practice spans painting, video, installation, and Augmented Reality. Drawing from queer theory, mythology, and personal memory, his work uses hybrid visual languages to explore how identities are shaped and subverted through images. Often layering physical and digital media, Roy creates interventions that disrupt dominant narratives and invite viewers to reconsider what is seen, remembered, or erased.
Stacey Chen is a multidisciplinary artist and designer based in Chicago, originally from Taiwan. Her practice moves fluidly between illustration, sculpture, toy and graphic design, industrial design, and digital media — united by a focus on the emotional and cultural resonance of everyday objects. With a background in industrial design, she’s drawn to the way form and function shape not just behavior, but memory and feeling. Her work reflects on the quiet power of the familiar, uncovering meaning in the textures, symbols, and overlooked items that surround us.
Kelly McMahon is a Melbourne-based illustrator and graphic designer celebrated for her bold, minimalist aesthetic, marked by precise vector forms, striking color palettes, and a flair for visual storytelling. Drawing from pop culture, fashion, and childhood nostalgia, her work moves fluidly between commercial illustration, graphic design, and passion-driven personal projects. She has collaborated with high-profile names including Clerks III, Lego Ninjago at Skybound, and Kid Cudi’s Moon Man, and her pieces have been exhibited at Gallery 1988 and Hero Complex Gallery in Los Angeles.
Valentina Ferrandes is a London-based visual artist and designer from southern Italy whose work merges CGI, procedural animation, and storytelling with archival and environmental materials. Drawing from classical iconography and archaeological sources, she crafts narratives that bridge past and present through immersive technologies. Her digital explorations often blur the line between representation and abstraction, transforming landscapes, objects, and recordings into dreamlike reinterpretations shaped by code.
NastPlas is the artistic duo of Fran Rodríguez Learte and Natalia Molinos García, based in Palencia, Spain. Known for their visually striking work that blends CGI, 3D, and AI, they’ve spent over two decades exploring the shifting boundaries between the digital and physical. Their practice centers on the intersection of art, science, and technology — often using visual experimentation to reflect on humanity’s evolving relationship with nature in the face of rapid technological advancement. We asked NastPlas about their art, creative process, and inspirations.
Sophie Ruoyu Zhang is an interdisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn, NY. With a BFA in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design, her work explores the intersections of post-humanism, material ecocriticism, and asemic expression. Drawing from both traditional and digital media, she creates poetic systems like “scores” or “scripts” that blur the boundary between human language and the autonomous gestures of nature and machine.

For digital artists, moving from 2D to 3D has often felt like crossing a creative canyon—steep tools, complex workflows, and time-consuming processes. That divide between 2D creativity and 3D production has kept illustrators, concept artists, and solo developers from fully exploring new dimensions of their work. Meshy changes that. It lets creators turn sketches, images, or even simple prompts into export-ready 3D assets all from the browser, with no prior experience in modeling or rigging required.
The 2025 NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellows and Finalists have just been announced — and I can finally share that I had the honor of serving as a panelist this year!
Art is everywhere - on walls, in books, across city streets, and tucked away in private collections. We admire it, discuss it, even argue about it. Yet, beneath the surface of the pieces we know and love are some fascinating details that often go unnoticed. Here are five lesser-known facts about art that might just change the way you see it.
If you’re new to digital art, or even if you’ve been at it a while, you’ve probably heard the terms vector and raster thrown around. Maybe someone said, “That’s a vector file” or “Oops, it’s too pixelated — it must be raster.” And you were like... okay cool... but what does that mean, exactly? Honestly, same. I had no idea what the difference was before I sat down and did my research. In this guide, I’ll break down everything I learned about vector and raster art, when to use each one, what tools to try, and how it affects the way you create, share, and sell your work.
The Wacom MovinkPad 11 is one of those “I didn’t know I needed this until I saw it” devices. It’s for anyone who wants to draw more often — even if they’re not a “digital artist” yet. It feels like a sketchbook, works like a tablet, and delivers like a Wacom. Whether you’re doodling at a coffeeshop or finally making time for that comic idea you've been sitting on, it’s there for you.

So you’ve heard about NFTs when they took over the internet in 2021 and 2022, and after 2023 it felt like everyone forgot about it and you think you missed the hype. I’m here to tell you that you’re not late to the game at all. We’re actually just starting! In this guide, I’ll walk you through the basics of minting your first NFT. By the end, you’ll have a clear sense of how it all works, what platforms to try, and what scams to avoid.
When we set out to create Making Our Miracles, a collaborative digital art project inspired by the tradition of ex-voto paintings, we knew we wanted to explore the boundaries of what was possible with AI. So when DeepAI came on board as a sponsor and creative partner, it opened up a whole new world of experimentation for our artist cohort. Each of the artists approached the tool with different ideas, methods, and expectations — but one thing we all shared was curiosity.
We’re living through an exciting moment of digital transformation, and the art world is right in the middle of it. The gallery experience is evolving far beyond paintings on a wall or sculptures in a room. Today’s exhibitions are immersive, interactive, and shaped by technology. Whether in-person or online, the gallery is becoming a space where tech isn’t just a backdrop; it’s part of the creative experience.
Urban digital installations, dynamic, interactive artworks integrated into city environments, are central to contemporary urban identity. Art agencies, specialized organizations that foster creative projects, play a key part in public art by connecting artists, technology, and communities.
Whether you're battling layers, debating brushes vs. 3D software, or just trying to make it through one more export error, the digital art life comes with its own set of joys and absurdities. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite memes that capture the chaos, beauty, and occasional existential dread of being a digital artist today.
