20 Instagram Accounts Every Creative Should Follow

By Marcella Jalbert

20 Instagram Accounts Every Creative Should Follow

As a highly visual person, Instagram is by far my favorite social media platform. I make sure to keep my feed stocked full of things that will inspire me.

Between all the fantastic artists, letterers, designers, and photographers putting their work out there daily, Instagram is an endless well of creative inspiration!

A quick scroll through some ‘grams can provide inspiration for a website mockup, ebook, or even a CTA.

To get you started, I’ve curated a list of 20 of my favorite creatives on Instagram to follow.

Typography

1.    @noeltheartist

22-year-old photographer and letterer, Noel Shively, will fill your Insta-feed with daily positivity. His beautifully hand-lettered quotes mixed with creative photography will definitely put some pep in your step.

   
2.    @caseyligon

Florida-based lettering artist, muralist, chalk art aficionado, and self-proclaimed part-time Instagram-er, Casey Ligon, shares a combination of chalk lettered signs, notebook doodles, and typography made with some unexpected materials (think tomato sauce, coffee grounds, and sprinkles!)

 

3.    @youbringfire 

Scott Biersack is “a guy just doing what he loves.” New York-based illustrator and designer, Biersack will pleasantly surprise you with his diverse lettering skills he’s used for projects done for Blue Moon, Starbucks, and Girl Skateboards.

 

It's complete! Always having fun covering this massive chalkboard. Another chalkboard piece coming tomorrow as well! ✌️

12.    @rachelryle

Rachel Ryle’s feed has been crowned as the #1 Instagram account to follow by both MTV & BuzzFeed. As a storyteller and professional animator, Ryle’s Instagram is full of cheerful stop motion animations featuring her miniature illustrations.

 

"Take Two!" - It's my 2 year animation anniversary!!! Words cannot tell you how thankful I am for all your support along the way. In 2013 I taught myself how to animate by using the @Instagram app. Little did I know that something which started as a hobby would so quickly change the course of my life! Within 2 months of creating my first animation I quit my day job and turned illustrating & animating into my full time career! Since my first piece, "Make Something & Grow", I have made 162 animations! In honor of #ThrowbackThursday here is a look back at some of my favorite creations! Thank you for watching me grow along the way, I simply can't wait to see what we *make* of the future! #tbt #stopmotion #animation #anniversary #art #drawing #cartoon #collection #artcollection #gardening #butterfly #nasa #spaceshuttle #rocket #duckhunt #nintendo #chocolate #party #celebration #balloons
