Canadian Artist Brings A Ton Of Personality To Her Whimsical Disney Fan Art
Even hobby artists manage to create some of the most spectacular fan art in the world.
For over a decade, Emilia89 has been creating digital art and sharing it on social media, drawing in thousands of followers and fans who appreciate her unique style and skill combination. Hailing from Canada and self-identifying as Polish, Emilia89 is clearly a huge fan of Disney—especially princesses like Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Ariel from The Little Mermaid, and classics like Snow White—and is also a major fan of Sailor Moon.
It's not uncommon for Disney fans to find themselves just as obsessed with other major media niches, such as video games or anime, which sometimes inspires talented artists to create clever, creative, and cool crossover artwork that brings different worlds together. While Emilia89 hasn't necessarily done much crossover work in her Disney fan art, once you start following her on social media, you will not be surprised to see the occasional crossover concept come and go.
Emilia89's Disney fan art is truly fantastic, featuring crisp details and beautiful colors. As Disney fans, you will surely find yourself appreciating both the adorable illustrations and the content geared more toward adult Disney fans.

"I painted this and printed it on a 16x20 canvas for my sister for Christmas this year. A few of her favorite things in life are the ocean, sunsets, and The Little Mermaid, so the idea behind this painting was for it to bring her a sense of peace when she needs it most.I definitely hit the jackpot because it made her cry when she unwrapped it."
