NOTE: I'm not going to feature people on my friends list at the time of the feature, but if I'm watching someone, make the assumption their gallery is worth seeing. So when you're done reading this, go to my most recent journal; my friends list is at the bottom Clicky clicky!

OK, so, I don't plan on doing journal features regularly, but every so often I do hit an artist in my browsing where I think, "Dude. That's awesome." So, when I'm not too lazy, I'm going to share these artists with you.

This journal feature goes to ~Ayrine. She's only 16 years old, but (as you can tell if you browse DA enough), age doesn't have to have anything to do with talent. Believe me, this girl has LOADS of talent. (Good taste, too- don't just check out her stuff. Check out her favorites gallery as well. That's tangential, though.)

Down to business. What brought me to her gallery was seeing the following on the recent devs page:



Maybe it's the Rain Man in me that made me click it, but it's more than just a bunch of pins. The focus is crisp, the colors are rich, and the framing is bloody awesome. She makes a bunch of ordinary pins look glamorous. In fact, there are many "pin" photos in her gallery; this one is my favorite of them, but you should go and decide for yourself.

Moving on, this is one of the most gorgeous photos of a morning sky I've ever seen in my life. too busy every morning waiting for the caffeine to kick in to think to grab a camera, but if I had a sunrise like this every morning outside my window I might wake up even before the Pepsi hits:



The colors are just spectacular.

Now for the mundane. Most of us are familiar with the generic potted plants that you see in waiting rooms. I suppose they get put there to cheer the place up a bit, but, really, how cheerful can a potted plant in the corner of a room make you? Not very, unless...



...there's a gigantic purple butterfly in it.

I could go on and on, but I think I'll leave the burden of exploring her gallery to you. There's plenty of variety; some macro-esque stuff, and lots of people and portraits photos as well. Worth a good browse. So go. NOW!
