During the short existence of Google Plus, we have noticed that anyone can become a relevant user, not because of the amount of followers they have, but because of the quality of the content they posted. Today we wanted to present you the users we consider might help you get inspired and those from whom you’ll learn something. They were carefully selected not because the number of followers , not because they are cool or because they are celebrities. We think all of these people create excellent pieces of art in all of their fields, so we were sure to check the content they posted and their respective websites, blogs and portfolios, and we think their contributions are awesome. Here are the best Google Plus users in every field in categories like illustration, painting, sculpting, general design, blogging, writing and others, acknowledging that there are many more users who are also great and post awesome content. So if you know another one who posts great content in these categories feel free to share their profiles with us in the comments and of course, don’t forget to add them to your circles.

Description: I’m a contemporary artist who works with several kinds of clay & acrylic paint to create post cubism, abstract, and visionary realistic sculptures & paintings. Born in Kansas in 1970 to sculptor Cathie Cordova, I was inspired by my mother to become an artist too. As a child I won several art awards in local and regional art shows in the Midwest and on the East Coast. During grade school my work continued to evolve from traditional forms of sculpture and drawing to FX movie monster busts and then to visionary realism towards the latter half of college. After leaving college I continued working in visionary realism but with each new piece I created, more abstraction came to the surface. At the time I wasn’t sure what style of art I was working in. For awhile I thought it was abstract with a dose of surrealism. Eventually after another 5 years my work took on the post cubist or what some think of as a Mayan style of carving. For me its a language expressed through lines, form, and symbolism.
