My favorite artist is my little nephew. The joy and pride I see in his eyes when he hands his Uncle Joe some of his art work is priceless. I have a refrigerator that's covered with it and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

clayton pinkerton(google images has a very hard time finding any of his work, there are a couple good examples).http://images.artnet.com/artwork_images_424543416_600854_clayton-pinkerton.jpg
jean dubuffet(favor his earlier work, 1940s, before it got more cartoon/illustrative).http://madamepickwickartblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Dubuffet11.jpg
mark rothko(classic abstract expressionist master, color blocking, a must see in real life, photographs on the internet do absolutely no justice).
you can probably tell i love the visceral intuitive nature of abstract expressionism. the energy and spontaneity creates many areas of interest and information, it stimulates the mind, and keeps the viewer fully engaged. i have a huge bias for abstract expressionism, i am always ready to lay down some art appreciation on the ignorant asses.
charlie isoe, currently becoming recognized. look him up, i guarantee something about his work will inspire you.

^ the juxtapositions in his work, from tight illustrative to loose washy unfinished, as well as his brilliant contrast, plays on perspective, and graffiti aspects, it's awesome.

Zdzisław Beksiński
Beksinski is a polish painter who does a lot of macabre surrealism and dark ambiance fantasy, other painters that come to mind are Norman Rockwell. I also like a lot of graphic novelists such as Jean 'Moebius' Girarde, Junji Ito, Theodore Giesel, and Jim Woodring. Art for me mainly pertains to traditional animation so there's a ton of animators I like; another post or another thread not off topic lol

Rip is a good friend of many years.... He paints murals on ceilings, standing on a ladder, in the dark.... As far as I know he's the only one in world doing this.. That's a rather bold statement, but I believe it's true... He's only been at this 8 or 9 years... I'd post pics but they change depending on the light... You can see for yourself here. http://www.starmurals.com/page14_starmurals_for_private_residences.html
