Curator’s Corner #1: Megan Lara

For the first installment of Curator’s Corner I’m featuring the beautifully geektastic art of Megan Lara! Like I mentioned in my last outfit post (Royal Peach), I talked about how I first came across Megan’s art a couple years ago when I saw her “Peach Nouveau” design on TeeFury. I love how many of her pieces are done in an art nouveau style that channels Alphonse Muncha with characters from geeky franchises such as Harry Potter, Doctor Who, classic Nintendo ladies, etc. But she’s no one trick pony — she does way more than geek nouveau! Megan’s work ranges from gorgeous and fancy, to sexy, and downright adorable (see “Troy & Abed’s Dope Adventures” below).

Harry Potte prints L-R: “The Brightest Witch of Her Age” // “Just As Sane As I Am”

Doctor Who companion pin-up series (collaboration with Omega Man 5000)

“Nintendo Nouveau” available as a stretched canvas on Society6

Game of Thrones print – “Through Fire and Flame”

Community prints L-R: “The Needlessly Defiant” // “The Day Planner”

Community print – “Troy & Abed’s Dope Adventures”

“Natural Beauty” (and no, that is not Poison Ivy)

L-R: The Labyrinth “As The World Falls Down” // Beetlejuice “Utterly Alone”

Firefly Les Femme poster set available on QMx

There are SO MANY more pieces by Megan that I’d like to add on, but I think this ought to suffice!

They totally would, but picking one to have as a tattoo is a problem though because they’re all so amazing — which one to choose?!

You should definitely take a look at more of her work! She’s crazy talented, and she even has some Marvel nouveau styled t-shirt designs on We Love Fine!

I don’t think I quite realized how much of Megan Lara’s art I have on T-shirts until this post. 😉 Love the new feature! I look forward to learning about new artists through it.
