Here is a fun video, and one that took a bit of effort!

These are five of my favourite artists to follow on instagram and elsewhere. And they all deserve support for their incredible skills, wonderful styles and their generosity in so many ways.

Please offer them your support by checking out their profiles and links below!

Why is the focus on instagram? Well because it's a great place to find visual portfolios from a really diverse range of artists, there are of course downsides to everything in social media, which we'll talk about too. But if you can treat it for what it is, it's a really powerful tool for learning and inspiration.

So, watch this video to find out more about these five artists :)

All of these artists were kind enough to say yes to being included in this video and the art within is not mine - it is theirs! Used under fair use copyright for comment and comparison.
