Post an image or two by your favourite artist! Here's mine:

Shaun Tan. An Australian artist that has produced a lot of great children's picture books. I love his surreal/cartoony style. Probably my all time favourite illustrator. I've considered getting a tattoo of one of his characters.

Patrick Smith. Also the guy behind Vectorpark. His playful surreal style is lovely. Play Windosill if you haven't, it's a fantastic little puzzle game by him.

John Kenn. Very creepy ballpoint pen drawings. Strong Adam's Family and Tim Burton vibes from this guy. I especially like his super-detailed scenes like the one above.

Giorgio De Chirico. The painter I like the most. I'm surprised that his style of painting is mimicked more often because it's very gripping. He's able to create such a strong, dreamy sense of space.

Mattias Adolfsson. An artist so skilled it hurts me. I can only hope to achieve this guy's level of mastery and detail. Everything he puts out is so satisfying to look at.

Thanks nap! I've had that Shadow of the Colossus image as my desktop background for a while and had no idea who it was by. Looking through his other stuff, I want all of them!

I'm loving that Adolffson piece, SMP. It's so complex but so easy to look at.

Bob Ross, and his happy little clouds!

I obviously love #6 too.
