12 of the most unconventional pieces of fanart
We love fanart. What’s more pure than a fan expressing their love of music through a creation of their own? And while good old pen to paper can yield stunning work, these fans have some pretty unique ways of showing their devotion.
From insanely intricate eyeshadow and nail art to a toe (seriously, a toe), here are some of our favorite unconventional pieces of fanart.

We’re not going to lie: We had to do some research to figure out what this was. (Shoutout to this fan for helping us learn something new!) Mate is a traditional South American energizing drink made by steeping dried leaves from the yerba mate plant in hot water. It’s traditionally drank out of a calabasa gourd with a metal straw called a bombilla that helps strain the leaves. This custom set made by a member of the Clique makes us want to try mate even more!
Fall Out Embroidery
These hand-embroidered portraits of the members of Fall Out Boy are on another level.
Painted Panic! jean jacket
Band tees are cool and all, but, honestly, have you ever seen denim look more badass?

Seriously, how does she even do this? While the rest of us plebians are over here still trying to master the perfect wing, this artist is creating unbelievably intricate eye looks inspired by some of our favorite bands’ album art.
Neck Deep nail art
Really though, how do y’all do this?
A Shoe To Remember
How do you make Vans even cooler? Apparently by painting crazy detailed art inspired by bands on them.
