What is your favorite art work and or artist?

[UnderdogDJLSW]

Norman Rockwell. As a kid I would just marvel over his stuff. I still love his stuff today.

I have always been a huge fan of Norman Rockwell. Ironically, my painting style looks more like Georgia O'Keefe, though. I've always been totally fascinated with Vermeer, too.

Does anyone know of any other artists that does artwork as nice and as comparable as Boris?[/QUOTE]


His wife (I believe her name is Julie Bell) is pretty darn good herself. She draws with a very similar style, and often works in the same genres of sci-fi and fantasy.

I'm a fan of Rockwell's too....guy really captured an era.

Frederick Remington and Charles M. Russel are probably my absolute favorites in the world of fine art. These guys kept the old west alive, and their stuff inspired darn near every Western film ever made!

For Comic Artists...JIM LEE without question!!

For classic Art...Claude Monet.

I like Bruce Timm's more "adult" stuff. Sadly,I can't post any here. But I'm sure if you Google it,you should be able to see what I'm talking about.

Frazzetta is practically the same.

Gotta say Escher and Giger float my boat

If I am going classical, I'd say Leonardo DaVinci and Michaelangelo.

More modern, I love Norman Rockwell, Bob Timberlake, and Charles Schulz.

Curt Swan is my favorite of all time.

My fav drawing ever is the cover of Superman #300.

I really like comic book art by Michael Golden, John Byrne, ( well I used to), Bernie Wrightson, Jack Kirby, Steve Rude, Bissette & Totleben, Mike Mignola, Alex Ross, Trevor Von Eden, Paul Smith.

I have been very impressed with the art of Roger Dean and his brother, (I forget his name). Their art has graced many YES album covers but they have done much more than just that. I bought a book of their art some years ago. I'll have to dig it out. Robert McCall and John Berkeley who have done some really great space art. ILM said that the Star Wars Medical Frigate ship was based on Berkeley's style of art. After seeing LOTR I really love the art of Alan Lee and John Howe. Vargas, Frazetta and Boris-also great.

There's another guy I am forgetting. I have one of his books at home, ( I am at work right now), he draws devil women and voluptious women and his style is a lot like mixing the styles of Darwin Cooke and Mike Allred. I think his name is COOP.

I am into artists who work with ink,mostly comic guys, bernie wrightson, alex raymond, mike allred, joe kubert, jack davis, jack kirby...there's more but you get the idea. I like people with a crisp bold style and beautiful lines (and lots of black). Most of these guys are older artists or have older looking styles. It's just what I prefer.

I agree with misterdroid here. To his list I would add John Buscema (especially inked by Alfredo Alcala or Tom Palmer) and Jose Garcia-Lopez.

In the area of fine art, my favorite artist is Michelango Buonorotti. His Sistine Chapel ceiling and the Last Judgment wall are the greatest works of figurative art ever created. He was also an incredibly gifted sculptor, which is a bit of an understatement, but then words cannot express the subtle beauty and soul-soothing power of his work.
