On a social media site filled with “models”, “influencers”, and “public figures”, there are still a few great content creators and artists on Instagram there who genuinely use their platforms to connect and unite their followers rather than shameless self-promotion. Check out these super relatable artists work and be sure to support their work.
1. ButLikeMaybe
All of the things you love about being a single millenial is drawn in cartoon form. I am an Instastan (it’s a word, don’t question it) for Arianna Margulis and her stick figure alter ego (I swear I’m in the top 100 likes and comments on her page but whatevs). What I love most about her work is it’s niche relatability, ‘toons about life and stuff… for single, semi-alcoholic, millenial woman. Just take a look for yourself. You can also order prints of her work on her website www.butlikemaybe.com.
2. ByMarieAndrew
Life should be equal parts righteousness and ratchetness and Marie Andrews doodles and charts bring balance to the challenges in adulting. Again, it’s her simplistic interpretation of some of lifes most relatable moments that keeps me double tapping every time her posts fill my feed. Buy her book Am I There Yet? and check out her work here: www.bymariandrew.com.
3. AmandaOleander
The most recent addition to “Insta Artists I’m Obsessed With” is the intricate and breathtaking drawings of Amanda Oleander. Her “one room” takes on life, love, and being an unapologetic woman keep me coming back every day to see her latest 100 Days of Drawing post. You can see her process in a video below and buy her work here: www.amandaoleander.com.
4. ScribblesByNicole
A cynic’s guide to adulting. Nicole’s scribbles depict all of life’s hiccups, awkward moments, and downright embarrassing events in the most comical of ways. Her posts almost get me excited for a good chuckle. Buy her work here: www.scribblesbynicole.com.
5. Instachaz
Post-it note art. Simple description, simple drawings, but always enjoyable. You can buy prints of his works here: www.prinstachaaz.com
