All the way from Paris, France, Holly (AKA Miss Holly or HollyBell) is a freelance illustrator with a pack of talent to punch. She says:

"I am self taught and thus started in this field by trying my hand at different kinds of things ! Little by little I started to specialize in what I loved the most, namely illustrations for youth publishing (coloring books, activity books, educational resources) and concept illustrations for toys."

She has an adorable dog and spends her free time developing her own "cute and bubbly universe," as well as "eating (mostly chocolate)," and playing kyûdô. She has thousands of fans who adore her art work across multiple social media platforms and even runs a successful print shop featuring her amazing illustrations!

While it's true that many artists have taken their skills and hands to re-create Disney gal pals in a pin-up style, we would regret not taking time to appreciate Holly's adorable rendition. Of course, we never get tired of Disney fan art to begin with and Holly's Disney fan art is not limited to her pin-up series, so we included some of those stunning and whimsical examples as well!

1. "The other day I was drawing a pin up for someone and then I felt like drawing more. So here's Snow White."

2. "And here's Jasmine!"

"I had so many possibilities with her, at first I thought I'd pick her red outfit and ponytail, but I like her so much in blue! Same for the hair, loose or tied, etc. The other difficulty was that her normal outfit is already quite sexy as it is... In the end I doodled the first thing that came and, well, she pulls the panties off."

3. "I bet that picture's up in Beast's room and that's the reason why he doesn't want Belle to come to the west wing. That rose bra... must sting like hell."

4. "I think Mulan is reaaaaaaally pretty in the beginning of the movie, with her long hair and fancy clothes. I like her blue outfit at the end of the movie too but I don't know, this one seemed more appropriate."

5. "Ariel makes forks sexy, yes, she's that kind of girl."

6. "Pocahontas's hair is really something. That poor guy who had to animate her..."

Fun Fact: 55 individual artists were involved in illustrating Pocahontas alone, never-mind the other characters and backgrounds!

7. "I watched the movie not so long ago and it struck me how Cinderella looks like Barbie. The eyes, the lips, they look the same to me."

Cheeky pin-up princesses aside, "HollyBell" is a phenomenal artist. She has created a wide variety of art, both fan-art in nature and not.

Of course, as diehard Disney fans, we're obsessed with her beautiful Disney fan art and wanted to share a few more pieces that are just as gorgeous as her pin-up series but in stark contrast to that style as well! So, check out some more of her beautiful Disney fan art.

Merida

"I finally got some spare time yesterday to paint Merida, Pixar's first princess. Needless to say that I just LOVE the fact that she's a redhead - and a Scottish one at that <3"

Jasmine

Snow White

"Better say this now : this is my interpretation of the character, so if you think her costume is not right, that she looks too old or whatever, just pleeease go look at some official Disney art, and not fanart.

With that said, I never thought I'd take my time making a Snow White painting one day but heh, what do you know ? Since I got the new edition of the DVD I kinda made peace with her. Sure she's not too bright, but she's cute, so well, I think I like her now."

"Love at the Lily Pond" Princess Tiana

"I was so struck by the last promotional picture they released, I just HAD to make my own version of that yellowish setting and of the new gown. Lucky I had some spare time today <3 Though mine sucks compared to the original. If you haven't seen it yet just google the title of the movie, it's all over the net.

I can't believe they're finally giving a princess a green outfit. What's with the exclusively blue or pink wardrobe anyway ? Belle was the only original one to me - yellow, that was something. (True, Snow White's one was daring - blue, yellow and red - but I'm not too sure I like it anyway)."

"Fragile" Belle

"I realized recently than I never did any decent painting for Beauty and the Beast, even though it's my favorite Disney movie. And since I really like the blue and pink colors in the west wing scene I went for that. My original sketch was inspired by a screenshot of that scene, and I used another still from the prologue to reproduce the rose stained glass."

"Under the Sea"

Ella at the Ball

"Belle de Pompadour"

"Part of Your World"

Moana

Winter Belle

"Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo"

Tale As Old As Time

"Princess Tea Party"
