Ocean of Art 5: Dive in and discover some promising new Steemit artists

In my continued effort to promote and improve the artistic community here on Steemit I am doing a weekly curation! Most of the artists I have chosen are still minnows and are waiting to be discovered and others that I will feature have just plain impressed me!

The first artist that came onto my radar this week is @ankapolo who is an amazing painter. The first thing that caught my eye were her amazing colourful nudes she posted last week but the post I would like to present to you today is more recent, a painting called "Armistice". In the post she talks about her process and the final result is stunning:

Next on my radar is the multitalented @derosnec who only started posting on Steemit a month ago! She posts music and vlogs about her process and is sure to be a hit on Steemit. Today I'd like you to listen to one of her songs called "Bed of Roses", I'm excited by @derosnec because she has amazing production quality and fantastic aesthetics:

@rachelsvparry was one of the first artists I followed after joining Steemit and her paintings are so intricate and well done. Everything she posts is of high quality and it is obvious the amount of care and attention she puts into all of her work! Here is one of her latest called "An Apple A Day": https://steemit.com/art/@rachelsvparry/an-apple-a-day-finally-ready

@aleduruy only joined this month and already has some amazingly creative posts up! She is a designer and illustrator and does some interesting character creation. Her post about drawing wonder woman is an excellent visual that breaks down the process and can be very helpful for new artist!:

The last feature I will do today is @vachemorte and @bebopbettie. I'm a little biased here because I know both of them in real life! @vachemorte is my boyfriend and @bebopbettie is a friend of ours, they just did a collaboration on a David Lynch cover called So Glad where @vachemorte made the music and @bebopbettie sang and did some burlesque, slightly NSFW:

Also @vachemorte posted part 1 of a documentary we worked on together about our crazy landlord! It's called Machineco and you can watch it here and read more about it in the post below!

If you enjoyed these artists please give them a follow and some encouragement!

I would like to invite all the artists featured and those who are reading this to join the Minnowsupport Project! It's a great way to network, gain followers and chat with your peers in a more relaxed environment.
