This Disney Fan Is Creating Some of the Best Disney Fan Art We've Ever Seen
This is merely a glimpse at a seriously amazing illustrator.
Some Disney fan art is nice to look at, and some of it stops you in your tracks. Briana Cherry Garcia falls firmly into that second category, with whimsical, vibrant pieces that make familiar characters feel fresh again.
Her work blends Disney and Marvel influences with pop culture references, while still staying true to the personalities fans already love. That mix has made her a standout for nearly two decades, and it shows in every commission, convention piece, and personal project she shares.
From spooky Halloween-inspired art to a sprawling character series, her portfolio keeps getting more impressive. Here’s the full story.
Alice in Wonderland
"Alice and Tarrant from Tim Burton's film dressed as the classic Disney animated characters."
Brianna GarciaGrim Grinning Ghosts
"Phineus, Ezra, and Gus, the three Hitchhiking Ghosts from the Haunted Mansion. The Haunted Mansion is one of my all-time favorite rides at the park, so I've always wanted to create a tribute picture for Disneyland's 50th."

"Smile for the Camera"
"I got tired of seeing all the Disney princesses in the same old boring princess-y poses. Sometimes they just need to let loose and go crazy."

Arguably, some of her coolest work features designs from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Using ebony pencil, colored pencil, markers, and gouache on toned paper, Brianna created one of the most unique Disney fan art series we've ever seen... and we've seen a lot of Disney fan art! It might be impossible to pick a favorite from this series.
The splashes of color chosen are done so in a way that eloquently complements each character she selected; you absolutely have to appreciate these intentional choices. Yet the art stands out because it's not as over-the-top as many other pieces of Disney fan art tend to be.
It truly is a stunning series; check it out:

Which piece did you like best from this artist? You'll have to let us know in the comments.
We say this a lot, but we really love Disney fan art! It's precisely the sort of thing that helps us relive and re-love our favorite Disney characters and their stories all over again... and again and again! As long as there is Disney, there will be Disney fans, and some of them are bound to be artists, thank goodness.
