Imaginatively-Crafted Illustrations (+Zelda!) by Daniel Shaffer

I’ve only recent­ly become acquaint­ed with Daniel Shaf­fer­’s illus­tra­tions, but I am sure glad that I did. His paint­ings are great. They’re lus­cious­ly col­ored, imag­i­na­tive, fun, and have a bit of geeky charm. (Zel­da has made an appear­ance a cou­ple of times.)

Daniel says he’s a dig­i­tal-free­lance illus­tra­tor. For work­ing on the com­put­er, he does a fan­tas­tic job at mak­ing his work feel like it’s hand paint­ed. The dry brush­ing def­i­nite­ly gives it a vin­tage feel, and I’m remind­ed of Mary Blair — one of my favorite illustrators!
