New Art Spotlight: September 2021

October is just a couple of days away, but before we roll out the pumpkins and set up the scarecrows, we would like to remember September and the amazing artwork that came with it. Specifically, three designs that come from the brilliant minds of three of our most adored artists. One of those artists is a living legend who has made his mark in the world of science fiction and even has his work featured on the covers of numerous bestselling books.

Selecting only three designs to feature for our NAS showcase is always a challenge since we receive so many different designs from our artist community each month...and we love every one of them! This month, we wanted to showcase art that we thought fit best with the month of September and welcomed October as well. You can let us know if you think we picked the right pieces in the comments below.

As always, if you like these designs, be sure to check out the other awesome new art available on our site and keep an eye out for our future New Art Spotlight blog posts. You can also follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to help make sure you never miss out on one of our spotlights, announcements, or memes in the future.

Furthermore, if anyone out there is interested in joining our program (or you know somebody that you think definitely should be signing up for our program) you can head over to our Artist Program page to learn more about the program and how to submit an application!
