chowburger:
Had a quick check, but I didn't see any old thread like this.

Who are your favourite artists? The ones that either inspire you, or make you want to give up and use your paintbrushes to dust shelves because your own art will never be as good as theirs.

At the moment, I'm ga-ga over Aubrey Beardsley:


J. W. Waterhouse (his paintings are a bit naff, really, but good lord I wish I could paint like that):


And Brett Helquist:

Zingoleb:
M.C. Escher, Ansel Adams, Arthur Barnes, Jim Orr, Joe Montgomery, that one guy who vomits paint

Do photographers count?

Yato:
M.C. Escher, Blek le Rat, and Banksy.

Theres this other guy but I cannot remember his name, nor his website. The drawings are really weird but awesome, alot of them show these monsters vomiting other monsters and, well I dont know but it is awesome.


These are some Banksy's :

Hes also a Graffiti artist.

Annnnd do I really need to post something from Escher? Anyone ever in a math class probably knows it, I always looked at it more than the actual classwork.

Zingoleb:
If I could be bothered to find it, M.C. Escher could further the whole batdicks thing. He did a picture (or two, or three) that included bats and their penises.

BeoPuppy:
Banksy here too. Ed van der Elsken.

He might be unkown here:
