Pernille \u00d8rum is one of those artists whose very resume blows you away:\u00a0 She practically hit the ground running as a world-class character designer out of college, working for Disney, Warner Brothers, and Dreamworks; went on to concept for movies and TV; and drew a series of <\/span>Hit Girl<\/span><\/i> comics scripted by Kevin Smith\u2014a longtime fan of her work who sought her out.\u00a0 \u2026All while becoming an Instagram sensation with almost a million followers and Kickstarter-funding three art books that exceeded her goals:\u00a0 <\/span>The Art of Pernille \u00d8rum<\/a>, Coral<\/a>, <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>Blush.\u00a0 <\/span><\/i>Relevant to our topic, she\u2019s also put out a collection of Mermay drawings intuitively called <\/span>Mermaids in May<\/a>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

She\u2019s known as one of the internet\u2019s favorite stylists: Highly simplified, fluid, and exaggerated enough to make her work instantly recognizable even among the myriad of artists on Instagram with Disney-inspired styles.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
