Christine Crane: Paint like you are playing Nintendo

There are paintings that make you smile, such as Christine Crane's. The childish strokes, drips and fileds of colours create the perfect combination of playfulness and vibrancy. Graduated in 2008 with a fine art degree, the young Canadian artist has certainly got a unique style that's resting half way in between street art and illustration, with cartoon-ish characters and animation-like background, Crane brings us a fun world pulled straight out of Nintendo games. Check out her portfolio on ArtDoxa and start throwing your paintbrushes around to match the wonky looking rabbits and pandas.
