DD Roundup: July 2026

Hello everyone!

Another month has come and gone. Thus, it is time for me to showcase the Daily Deviations I featured in July. I hope you are ready for some amazing art! Let's get started.

In case it wasn't obvious, I love to feature bright and vivid colors. I have been told I don't keep things subtle enough in my own art. But I think with my personality, neon and brightness are just so me. I don't want dull. I want over exaggeration because that is my life. Big and bright with so much color. That is my aesthetic and I love to feature it.

That being said, I can also appreciate subtlety here and there, which is why some of these piece are more laid back. Everyone needs a break from the brightness every now and again. A time to step away and contemplate. I hope this brief break has given you some things to consider.

How about some trivia during this break, courtesy of The Art of Education, so please give their article a read. I will select a few examples from the list they provided, so please check the rest out if you want to know more:

DIY Gone Awry
A museum worker in Cairo committed the ultimate “oops” in 2014, accidentally knocking the braided beard off King Tutankhamun’s priceless burial mask. Their panicked solution? A hasty and very noticeable repair with epoxy glue, a move that horrified archaeologists and delighted internet users around the globe. This is art’s most unfortunate DIY project.

Jason deCaires Taylor
This British sculptor creates breathtaking underwater museums, placing his life-sized sculptures on the ocean floor. These submerged artworks act as artificial reefs. They attract coral and marine life and transform the ocean into a vibrant, ever-evolving gallery.

Janet Sobel
This Ukrainian-American artist’s journey began with an unexpected challenge from her own son. When Sobel criticized her son’s artwork, he handed her a brush and challenged her to do better. Sobel accepted and discovered a hidden talent for abstract expressionism. This led to the pioneering of a drip technique that later influenced Jackson Pollock.

And there you have it! This month was full of awesome art and next month is sure to be just as awesome. I hope you are looking forward to it as much as I am. As always, let me know if I made any mistakes in the comments below. I appreciate it.

As always, thank you to the suggesters (including the anonymous ones):

@Skularia @SabakuNoShi @KABANOMORI @KizukiTamura @DeathIsOnYourCards

Thank you so much for the suggestions and I hope for many more to come! By the way, starting in August, I will also be featuring Anthro since there is not a CV in charge of that right now. More of that to come.

I will see you next month!
