Freedom96, someone needs to teach you the differance between art and commercial printmaking. He's a hack.

My friend Ryan who helped me to understand art a bit. He was heavily influenced by Dali.

Dali has some religious works I really really like.

Have you ever seen the construction cranes they use in Germany (Europe I guess) Ryan has those in his work often...sometimes central...sometimes in the background....keys suspended from them...or floating out in the middle of no where...wierd stuff...but thought provoking...which is his point. If he'll send it...I'll post one of his pictures.

Bridget! Here's my favorite Escher (and he's one of my favorites):

Alot of math teachers buy his work to hang in their classrooms for obvious reasons!

Another one of my favorite artists is H.R. Giger:

Well, somebody has to support me.. may as well be me, right?! LOL

Tink: A girl after my own heart - I to have always loved Dali most of all - ever since I was a small child and saw Narcissus in a magazine spread.

Other than Dali, I've also become a big Picasso fan in the last year (I actually used to hate his stuff, until I saw a video on him and read some books.. and realized the breadth and diversity of all of his works.. No matter whether he did painting, sculpture, prints, or whatever else... He always invented a style in each medium entirely and recognizably his own...) Although, i still think he was a bastard when it came to his treatment of women! lol

And I also admire Renoir, Matisse, Waterhouse, Van Gogh, Leonardo and Raphael, and the earlier more surrealistic works by Pollock and Miro... to mention just a few... LOL

Two contemporaries I happen to like include a guy named ROYO...( He does nice paintings of women - usually dressed, under umbrellas, by seascapes and\or grassy fields..) and The Scottish painter Jack Vettriano - who does lots of strange eccentric scenes of people in beach scenes with sinister titles... Vettriano might be deemed rather commercial now too - as many of his paintings can be seen all over on various prints and cards (one of you even uses one of his paintings as an Avatar) ...but I've always admired a good businessman/woman. The whole ideal of 'keeping it wierd and artsy and completely noncommercial' is a crock of shite if you ask me... Art, Literature, or music - If it's good... It ought to be given the chance to sell, if you ask me.

Royo is a contemporary Fauvist. Broad brushstrokes and all that. Vettriano paints intimate scenes of life. He's not bad.

"The question was who is YOUR favorite artist"

No, the question is who is your favorite artist?
