Instagram recently changed their "explore" tab. It used to be simply the most popular photos on instagram — mostly celebrity stuff. Now, they've changed it into something that is amazing and delightful and customized for each user. Instagram now suggests photos you might like based on the fact that it's popular in your area, someone you followed liked it, etc. Through this tab I have found so much inspiration! I've followed a whole bunch of new people, and even if I don't follow the person, I often fall in love with an image they've shared. In the spirit of sharing, here are some recent photos that caught my attention:
People are really amazing and talented aren't they? I love that there are so many fantastic artists out there in the world making lovely things!
Have you explored the explore tab yet? Found anything or anyone fabulous?
Thanks for stopping by!
I hadn’t realised they’d changed it! Cue lots more time spent on instagram 🙂

Thank you so much for this post! Perfect synchronicity. I just discovered Instagram for myself (instagram: designingfairy). I know, newbie. I was totally hooked on Pinterest for eye candy inspiration and I love taking photos. But this Instagram thing was so new and I didn’t know where to start and who to follow. Then I found your post for these great artists. Yay! It felt like an art show following and visiting each one. I wonder if there is a place on Instagram just for artists to hang out?

Hi Julie,
Thanks so much for the inspiration! I had completely given up on Instagram–too many selfies! Now I’m willing to try again. Yay!

It’s the best, isn’t it? Because who really cares about what Justin Bieber fans are posting, I sure don’t. I want my instagram feed to be just like this post, filled with posts from creative folks. Sigh.
