One of my favorite parts of writing articles and recording videos is finding out what the thumbnail art will look like. Adriano Kitani, who does all of the art for our articles and videos, consistently blows me away. I get quite a few questions about the art, so I figured that with the year wrapping up, it was time to give Adriano a bit of a shout-out by showing off my 10 favorite thumbnail arts of the year! If you'd like to follow Adriano, you can find him on Twitter @amkitani, and he also posts his art on Instagram. Anyway, here are the top 10 thumbnail arts of 2021.
