bryster,
I think da Vinci stole the idea of the helicopter from Mona Lisa,
and the reason she was smiling was that she was inventing it while Leonardo painted her.
who inspired me to start making art..
Clyde Caldwell, artist known for many works on many tsr book covers and more.
Thats who inspired me at first, i've gone on from there on my own path..
but favorite artists include
Clyde Caldwell
Boris Vallejo
Salvador Dhali
H. R. Giger
and way to many to continue naming. as well as a few here
Hieronymous Bosch Michaelangelo Edvard Munch Leonardo Da Vinci Salvador Dali Vincent VanGogh Sorry I cheated a little bit too, by accident of course. I used to sit in the reference section of the library as a kid and be in total awe of the old masters, and I've been painting and digitizing ever since. Catlin

I'll bet this will ring a bell (Raphael). I'm seeing lots of other favorites whose names are new to me. I'll have to search for some examples of their work on the net. Thanks for the responses! TjohnThis is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.

@Bryster: I know this may sound a bit strange, but I swear I didn't know that Brain Salad Surgery cover was by Giger! That's why I always liked it soooo much! So thanx for the info... and, plus, so many times I dreamed on the Roger Dean's cover of Yes albums! Tales From Topographic Oceans was my fav cover @gregsin: Dan Peterson? I know a basketball coach by this name... :) Then, nobody Michael Whelan? I forgot to mention him... I have the almost extint first limited edition of Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" and his illustrations are tops! S.
Well, I wanted to put Michael Whelan, cause there is a couple of his pictures that I like. (Dark Tower or "Shonto", for instance.) But then visited his site to make certain of the link and changed my mind, because a wholesome kid face met me at the index page. Didn't like it, cause my tastes turned to darker images in illustration. http://www.michaelwhelan.com/

A number of my favorites have already been mentioned here so I'm going to list some of the ones I haven't seen yet. A few I think are worth repeating though... Also, although I love many of the old and not so old masters, but I'm going to limit myself to contemporary artists. :-) 1. "Michael Whelan" has long been a favorite on mine. So much so that I own some of his limited edition prints and an artist proof. I like his early work the best. (www.michaelwhelan.com) 2. "Syd Mead" is another favorite of mine. He did a lot of the set and craft design for Blade Runner. He also work on numerous other films such a Aliens, 2010, Tron, etc. His work falls into the classifications of illustration and industrial design. (www.sydmead.com) 3. "Donato Giancola" I fell in love with some of his brilliant science fiction and fantasy oil paintings the very first time I saw them on book covers.(www.donatoart.com) 4. "Brom" Wonderfully strange, dark and sometimes brooding paintings that fall into the genres of fantasy and horror. (www.bromart.com) 5. "Alan Lee" I've always enjoyed his beautiful and detailed fantasy watercolours and sketches. He is best known as the celebrated illustrator of J. R. R. Tolkien's great fantasy novels and worked on the Lord of the Ring films. (more info at http://www.endicott-studio.com/galalan.html) And sneaking in a few more... Michael Parkes, Jeff Jones, Brain Froud, Gil Bruvel, Lela Dowling...
I guess I'm an art illerate compared to you folks! :o) I'm of that class that says "I may not know art, but I know what I like." I guess about the only one I can name is Thomas Kincaid and only because my Mom loves his work so much that I'm forever being exposed to him. (and that's not a bad thing) Honestly tho', his type of art is the type I especially like. I'm partial to water scenes, nature, snow scenes and gardens. So, even if I can't name any specifically, if you put it in front of me, I could say if I like it or not.
S. Mead, C. Foss, R. Dean, Brom, J. Burns, F. Frazetta, H.R. Giger, H.W. Sahm, P. Nagel, A. Lee and L. Alma-Tadema. These are the big names for me in more traditional media. There are many more I have collected but I keep returning to these.
Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!
Since most of these artists did (do) work in traditional media, I will add one favorite digital artist. David Ho

Hmm... I like pretty much all the artists named (glad someone mentioned Chuck Jones, I was definitely going to put him down). But the artists that originally inspired me, I can't really name because I don't know who they are. I've always loved art from the ancient world, prehistoric cave paintings, greek, roman, middle east, far east, africa, both americas, australia. Paintings, carvings, statues, jewelry. You name, I probably love it. What I love is the individuality of each piece, the care that went into making it, the clever ways they solved technical problems. I love museum replicas, and if I ever had the money, I'd probably have a whole houseful. I'm also a fan of stop-action animation, so I like David Sproxton and Peter Lord (Wallace and Grommit) and the Bass-Rankin shows. I also quite like Phil and Kaja Foglio. Lin
Nukeboy........I've got a book filled with images from the Brothers Hildebrandt. I got it years ago and still love too browse through it. As a kid I just adored fantasy art and still do. Another artist who's art just blows me away is Lucian Freud, I saw an exhibition of his work years ago in the Hayward Gallery on the south bank in London. Lots of humans in his work and they always look terribly ill but very natural. Catlin

Well, let's see, we've done favorite music, movies, old Bryce Art, traditional media work, personal photos, I know I'm leaving something out...but: We haven't done the most obvious one. Who's your favorite artist? Who inspires you, whose work has compelled you to buy books of their work, whose talent do you most envy? So here's mine (no particular order: 1. Frank Frazetta 2. Jean Giraud (Mobius) 3. Rene Magritte 4. Salvador Dali 5. Norman Rockwell 6. H R Giger And many, many more (including many of you :^) ). I was trying to limit it to 5, but none of these guys would leave the list. I don't make distinctions between commercial art and illustration and fine art. To me, art is art. If I like it, if it speaks to me, it's Art. Now show me yours.
