PBS Arts: Off Book – Fan Art: An Explosion of Creativity

“Fan Art: An Explosion of Creativity” by PBS Arts: Off Book takes a look fan art and fan fiction online communities.

The fan art community is one of the most creative and active online. Taking pop culture stories and icons as its starting point, the fan community extends those characters into new adventures, unexpected relationships, bizarre remixes, and even as the source material for beautiful art. Limited only by the imagination of the artist, the fan art world is full of surprises and brilliance.
