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.
Creating mind-blowing Disney fan art is not always easy. In fact, it would be fair to say it's not easy at all, even for talented and skilled artists!
However, illustrators like Briana Cherry Garcia certainly make it look easy-peasy and lemon-squeezy. Her Disney and Marvel fan art is always whimsical, vibrant, and authentic. As Dr. Alexandra Solomon, a relationship expert, notes, "Art allows us to express our emotions and connect with our personal narratives, making it a powerful medium for storytelling."
Whether she's taking characters, concepts, and stories and intertwining them with other pop culture references or staying true to the personalities and designs of the characters we've always loved, she's consistently nailing her work. It's genuinely easy to find yourself fully immersed in her creations and gushing over them, which is not easy to achieve when it comes to Disney fan art.
If anything, it's much easier to casually enjoy Disney fan art... so when you find someone worth obsessing over, it's a big deal. And Briana's work is absolutely worth obsessing over!
This professional artist visits conventions where she takes commission work as well as sells her pieces, but she calls Southern California her home. She is a comic artist, storyboard revisionist, and she loves animation, illustration, and design, having been creating art for nearly two decades.

"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."

"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:

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.
