I really like Evan Dahm's work. He's also been doing my band's album artwork.

I have seen this! Jens and I went to the museum it is in. I had no idea what it was but it is really cool nonetheless.
I realise more and more that I don't know enough about art, but I've been trying to educate myself a bit more.
So far I have discovered I like Frida Kahlo
Henry Moore
and terracotta sculptures from the Tang dynasty.

One of my fav artists is Dhabih Eng.
Check the link for examples of his work: http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Dhabih_Eng
He started out doing his own stuff on his website and doing freelance work for gaming magazine covers, and did some artwork for a Quake 2 mod. But then Valve hired him on and since then he has done a lot of the conceptual work on HL 1 and 2. HL2's style is very heaviily influenced by his own personal style. Take a look at basically any HL2 concept or box art for Halflife and his name will be attached to it. Almost any official image from HL2 is his work. If he wasn't a part of the team HL2 would obviously have looked very, very different, and I think that would have been to its detriment.
