If you fell under the spell of the Beauty and the Beast editionOpens in a new tab of Fan Art Friday a few weeks ago, then you’ll likely recognize the artist responsible for the pieces in this week’s gallery: Erin Lefler. Known as Butternut Gouache around the interwebs, Erin is a freelance illustrator who works on fan art pieces in between jobs. Her style has a fairy tale quality I can’t resist, and I can’t stop looking at her interpretations of characters I admire. Case in point, look at Rey:
