100 great artists @ etsy you might want to visit…

So last week I got the most crazy idea that I would compile a list of 100 artists @ Etsy and I immediately set to work.

I wanted to write a few words about the “why” & “how” of the affair, but I realized nobody would actually care, so to keep things simple let’s just say that I have discovered many great and talented artists through Etsy, and it is getting more and more difficult each day to browse through their shops since there is no way to tag or organize your favorites into categories on the site and I figured a “memo” or “post-it” article would be of great use, not just for me or for people already familiar with Etsy, but also for people who would like to discover new artists but do not have the time to extensively browse the internet or Etsy for that matter….

I chose for the moment to limit myself to painters, illustrators and mixed-media artists so you will not find here ceramists, sculptors, artists who create dolls, etc… (those will come later).

The list is derived from my favorites and it is organized in alphabetical order by the name of the shops. Feel free to comment and add any artist that you particularly like. This list is only a small introduction to the world of Art on Etsy.

Also please note that I use Firefox and have put a lot of “&nbsp” to format this post, but I have absolutely no idea as to how Internet Explorer will deal with that…

This is just a great list of artists. It was like a journey to another art world while scrolling through all these artists on your list.
Super, Great, awesome list,
Kathy

Bravo…Bravo..Bravo…
This is a most excellent list and such fantastic artists you have included. I recognized some of them from my own personal favorites, but for the most part youhave introduced me to so many new artists. Kudos for taking the time to do this,
xoxo jen

Wow! What a great list. I would like to buy something from all of them. Excellent job compiling this list too.

Thank you for introducing me to some of the
great artists I somehow missed on Etsy.
Terrific talent!

Wow! What a ton of work on your part… I feel very honored to be included with so many super talented artists.

Oh- and I agree… you introduced me to quite a few I haven’t heard of yet! Thanks so much!!

This is really a great list you have compiled here. Very well done.

Thank you!

Manny

great list, nice to see all of them in one place.

I’m honor to be included in the list and I’m honored to be in the company of such an inspiring and diverse group of artists.
Thank you.

Thanks for all your comments !

Yes, I too think I get too many mails from indiepublic but I felt this was a bit different since it is not only me promoting my blog.

I meant this list as a great inspirational tool for every one and I’m happy you feel that way too.

Great and wonderful selections!… I already knew many of these artists (already between my favourites), but many others I discoverd now!… thank you so much for sharing… I think I will always take a look at these useful list!

thanks a lot again :)

I agree. I get 100’s of emails a day with even triple that in spam. Your’s stood out because this is the kind of blog that I enjoy and think is part of what Etsian Blogging should be about. Helping to promote one another, of course as well as what means something to you…relating to our business.

Thanking you,

How great! A lot of them are already in my favourites, but there’s some undiscovered treaures too. Etsy really does have so many fab artists.

Fabulous selection! thank you for sharing!

Thanks for including me, I’m flattered and humbled. This is an incredible resource of artists & illustrators on Etsy… a few I’ve never heard of and am glad to know of now. Beautiful art from all!

Amazing, stunning collection. Bookmarked!

Many of my favorite inspirations are listed here! What a fab list! I will be bookmarking lots of new faves for sure!

Hey, just found this through an email from Etsy!

Love this blog, thanks for sharing some well-knowns with some more ‘undiscovered’ artists, oozing with talent! This must have taken ages. Hats off to you :D

Heidi

Kudos! What an AWESOME idea to do such a compilation. I certainly am amazed and delighted by your efforts to bring attention to all these noteworthy artists _ and I know these artists appreciate your dedication and hard work to pull this off. Major props to ya!

WOW! You have wonderful taste! Lots of familiar faces, and some that are gracing my walls, and some brand new treasures too! Thank you!

I love them, I love them. They are absolutely beautiful, many of them are on my etsy favorites. I would love to see the best 100 for every category on Etsy. That would be so great.

Awesome Job
NINI

Wow! you must have worked so hard on this amazing list. You’ve got great taste!

Wow, such an amazing list. You have done a beautiful job, thank you so much for including me.

This is amazing. I’ve found several new artists that I had missed. Thank you!

Cate

What a fabulous idea, and so beautifully executed! Thank you for creating this lovely resource! I found some new favorites, and I’m bookmarking for further exploration.

WoW…what an amzing list of artists you compiled! I agree with NINI- “I would love to see the best 100 for every category on Etsy. That would be so great.”

What a beautiful list you have put together and arranged so nicely. The art on Etsy is incredible - thanks for sharing!

Amazing! What a lot of work it must have been to compile such a diverse list!

You’re now on my blogroll… ^_^

I have to applaud you along with every other posting here.
I plan to bookmark this page and explore.

You are so right! As great as etsy is, it is hard to find all the great offerings that are posted. By giving us a glimpse at the artists above, I can quickly assess if this art is something I’d like to investigate further.

Thanks for taking the time to create this list. A valuable resource for all that enjoy the offerings on etsy.

Wow! The shops listed are just fabulous. The ork displayed on this page is quite exceptional, I’m glad I stumbled onto the link in the Etsy forums.

What a wonderful list and such an honor for these artists to be featured in this way. Well done!

So much eye candy! Love it!

You have compiled a list after my own tastes. Many of these shops are already amongst my favorites. Many more soon will be. It is easy to put together a list of top somethings, but to put together one that shows taste and class is quite another story. Well done!

Great list! Many are my favorites too. There is sooooo much incredible talent on Etsy. 100 barely scratches the surface. Thanks for bringing such positive attention to Etsy.

Don’t forget the photographers as you compile your future lists!!!

A Fantastic List!! Thanks for compiling this, it will give me hours of fun to go through it!!

Wonderful list, but where is my hubby? Missing from the “N” section…

http://nisfornate.etsy.com

…tell me it’s cause his shop is temporarily closed!

Fabulous idea and such a wonderful list - there are so many talented artists on Etsy! Thank you for this resource.

I haven’t read through the requirements to belong on this list but if you haven’t checked these out you are missing out! (I just scrolled through quickly so I may have missed them?)

I am very much impressed.

Awesome!!! Now I have more *favorites* to add to my ever growing list. Thank you so much for compiling these great artists in one place ♥

Wonderful artists you picked!!! It was really fun to scroll through your posting and see such amazing art! I admit I have not seen most of these and I have hearted quite a few myself!!
Great posting!

visually this is the best and easiest to use 100 list i have ever seen. no having to click unless you want to. very nice.

I have to second prairiebound’s suggestions. all fab artists. :)
Love, love, LOVE your list. thank you so much for taking the time to compose it.
of course- I also ask kindly if you want to look at my shop too, since your “t’s” are lookin’ a bit short *wink* but no pressure. http://tanisalexis.etsy.com
THANKS FOR LOVING SO MANY ETSY ARTISTS! XO!

Thank you so much for all your nice words and compliments, it means a lot to me!

I just wish to clarify a few points though :

There were no actual requirements for being on such a list either than to belong in my favorites. I think I really got the idea to compile this list because it was getting so difficult to browse through my nearly 200 pages of favorite items and more than 100 pages of favorite sellers and I figured it would be a nice way to get to see things a little bit clearer…

So yes this selection is highly subjective and reflects my personal tastes - but not only, for there are some artists on that list that are not particularly favorites of mine, whose work I would probably not buy even if I could, but I included them because I think they have great talent and a strong artistic universe. (And whenever I include artists in my favorite sellers it is really because some of their artwork strongly appeal to me in one way or another, even if I do not love all their work.)

I have not browsed the entire Artist category of Etsy and do no intend to, and the list is by no means intented to be a list of the “best” or “top” artists of Etsy. This would both be ridiculous and preposterous !

It is merely an introduction and should only induce people to browse and discover even more artists.

I myself discover good artists every day and amazing one often enough to call Etsy my favorite place of inspiration. This is my tribute to Etsy in a way.

Rosemarie said : “100 barely scratches the surface”.

Indeed ! I couldn’t agree more.

There are so many great talents to discover even in the categories I have considered and so many more in other categories (woodcut artists, gocco printers, doll creators, sculptors, ceramists, photographers…)

So thank you for all the links you are posting there, I will look at all of them and be sure that other “selections” will be issued…

What a great list! I’m currently hunting for artwork for the nursury and this list will definately come in handy! I’ve been blindly searching for months and have seen many of these great artists, but there are lots of wonderful ones here I’ve never seen before. Thanks for all your hard work, I look forward to similar lists in the future!

FABULOUS collection. The time and work involved in curating this is much appreciated.

This is a great list and I know it was a lot of work. There is a lot of great illustration on Etsy and I really appreciate your efforts to shine a light on this segment of Etsy Sellers.

The more people see Etsy as a source for art like this, the better it is for all of us illustrators.

Wonderful collection of talented artists~ Alot of them were in my favorites already and found many new favorites.

Thanks for sharing these 100 with the world, Etsy has awesome talented artists-designers, great promo for all of us on Etsy.

Again thanks for the time involved to make the top 100, and my guess you could continue with even more, difficult to stop at 100.

This is what I would call BLOG LOVE!
You def love your blog and fro today on I’ll do too!
Great idea, great job and great picks!
brava!

Beautiful post. Lots of familiar faces and some new discoveries to check out!

hi,
Just wanted to say this is a fabulous list, you have done a great job I had such a great time going though the shops. I ended up buying a couple of prints and I’m the kind of person who doesn’t look at anything except handmade jewellery. You have opened up my eyes and now I’m in love with this type of art. I can’t decide which print to buy first…looking forwards to your other list’s, hope you do one on jewellery too. I would love to see it.

thank you

Oh, and I like your jigsaw pendants, they’re fun !

Wonderful to see this list. Hoping to make the next cut myself:-)
Pam

I so enjoyed looking through all of the list. There is such incredible talent out there!! I’ve added a few to my favourites but I hope one day Etsy will allow you to organise your favourites into categories.

Thanks for the journey.

Kathleen

Oh wow, this is an absolutely stunning collection of art! You have just helped me find a few new favourite artists whose work I might not have seen otherwise, such as Chris Brindley. Thank you!

Fantastic!! I can see a lot of new favourites in there. Great work!!

Stunning list!!! I knew there was lots of talent on etsy, but to see so many fabulous images together is amazing…

:)

Anne, it’s *amazing*!! I’ve been going on a hearting spree all day, and I still have more of these shops to explore. I love how cleanly you’ve laid it out as well. I recently did an interview, and when asked what I look for in a creative website, I immediately answered “beautiful simplicity and easy-to-navigate design”. You nailed it!

I can’t thank you enough for including little ol’ me on your list. Thank you, thank you. :)

WOW……so many new favorites!!!
Thanks for doing all the work for me…

One of the things that makes me love etsy is the creative art that is ALL around, so thanks again.

The wonder of Etsy is that there are so many talented people out there! Thank you so much for sharing.

Yes, it is my little “tribute to Etsy” and “tip-of-the-iceberg” is totally right to the point.

What a wonderful project!

Thank you so much for including my works, I am so honored !

Thanks for including my artwork! You did a fantastic job of presenting everyone’s header along with their art. So many new artists I was not familiar with. Thank you!

Wow, what a well thought out list of talented artists! I recognized most but found a few new favorites. That’s what makes Etsy so amazing… it’s endless, all the discovery…

I hope that you’ll compile a list of other artists in the future. Jewelry artists perhaps?

Cheers!

Oh my gosh, what a lovely collection and a fantastic idea. Thanks so much for sharing. Very pretty!

You have great taste. Love to see all those wonderful artists. It makes me want to paint more and open my etsy shop, which I have been avoiding.

These artists have gorgeous works! It is sometimes hard to weed through and not get lost on etsy! You’ve done a marvelous job!

Thanks ! I probably should be doing another round by now, for there are so many I did not include…

phew! that’s quite a list! i really love nuitblanche on etsy…check her out. i don’t think i saw that in your compilation. and deardodo is about the sweetest etsian ever, so yay for adding her. great work here.

The best list of etsy artist’s I’ve come across thus far! Excellent excellent excellent!

I just stumbled you and this list! Wonderful!

Great choices! Lots of my favourites and some new ones to add to the list!

Very nice collection, lots of new faces (to me) on this list. A little too much emphasis on illustration perhaps, but this is a question of personal taste- everyone on this list has some fantastic work, kudos for organizing it!

“A little too much emphasis on illustration perhaps”

I tend to agree with you here, but it is not so much a “question of personal taste” as a result of a process of selection relying, as I wrote, largely upon my list of favorites. And I think one of the reasons why illustrators are well represented is that they often come up on the front page of Etsy and therefore have more exposure than other artists.

A sequel would probably be the thing to do right now…

Wow what a fantastic variety of artists. As I discover more shops at etsy I just become more and more amazed with the beautiful products etys artist are creating and selling. I think I am just going to end up peddling my wares to purchase from others on etsy.

Hello,

Nice to meet U! : ]

Great list - have had a wonderful time browsing!” I’m actually looking for a piece of art for myself at the moment and you’ve certainly given me some inspiration - thanks!
