Got recs?

I know a number of the lovely people on my friends list create and or admire fanart. Well fanart_recs needs you! This is a new multi fandom rec site on DW similar to LJ's Crack Van. They need people willing to recommend at least 4 examples of fanart that you enjoyed. They have a simple template and art building a nice collection already. I've already offered some of my HP and Supernatural favorites. This month I'll offer some Doctor Who. Interested yet? The sign up post is here.

As most of you probably know, a very, very long time ago, I was an art student. Not outstanding. Just good enough to truly value the talents of others. (And to major in design but that’s another sad story.) But I was pleased to discover that there is a budding community at Dreamwidth for fanart_recs. The intension is to be a crack_van type of multi fandom recs community except it’s all about art. Even though they are less than three months along, they have links to lovely fanworks from a variety of fandoms. Plus, a fan community at DW! So why not take a look and maybe even volunteer to take a turn reccing?

The art being turned in to the Holiday Fests is so amazing, that it deserves it’s own post! From mini_fest, lets start with Luna’s Snow Angel. This whimsical watercolor is so joy making that I’m going to print it out and post it strategically around my home to lighten my mood whenever I look at it!

I’m sure y’all know, despite efforts to convert me, I don’t ship Snarry. But in gen fic or art, I’m much more amenable! So check out arisen Snape as Jack Frost in A Christmas Wish. Nothing I say is going to convey to you the magic of this so just click and see for yourself.

For the Harry/Draco fans, mini_fest has come through big time once again! Both Trapped and Snowball Fight showcase the “hate” side of the relationship with humor. Click and tell me if I’m wrong to relish this side of that infamous pairing.

If you prefer the sweeter side, anonymous cough at mini_fest did the stunning watercolor Narnia Magic. This just has a sigh worthy loveliness to it that pulls at the heartstrings.

And finally, for Magical Christmas, I’ll leave you with the prompt and artist’s note.
Prompt: Santa's missing and it's up to the wizarding world to deliver all the goodies to muggle boys and girls!
A/N: Albus Dumbledore has fun playing Santa with Harry's patronus and a little fairy light taking over for Rudolph. The sleigh was transfigured from McGonagall's desk, and she's come along, too. Flitwick has borrowed Albus's glasses and charmed them to fit so he can read the naughty and nice list directions out -- Albus doesn't need his glasses anyways since the "reindeer" know where to go.
Surely, you’re curious enough now to check it out………

Not that I’m any where near caught up on all of the goodies I want to devour but what did you like? Got recs? Or, know someone else who recs, point them out to me!
