This is the thread to post some of the work of your favorite artist. Please make sure to credit the artist for their work if possible.

I love art and due to me working for an art school I'm exposed to tons and tons of art. I pass through 7 to 8 galleries a week and that doesn't include tons of building where the kids are sitting around drawing, painting, sculpting, etc. I see some stuff that I could do and other stuff that just blows me away. Some of the raw talent here is unbelievable.

For example one of the kids that goes here started a thread on the school forum in which he invited people to submit their speed painting entries. What you do is use some type of digital painting program (painter, photoshop, etc.) a wacom tablet and give yourself 2 to 5 minutes to see what you could produce. His name is Carl Beu and here is just a few of the stuff he posted.

Carl is in his early 20s. To him those are pretty much his doodles. He has thousands of picture. That and the fact he can doodle stuff like that in 2 to 5 minutes ismind numbing.
 
Hieronymus Bosch...he obviously was a huge influence on Dali

check these out in full size to see some of the crazy details...pics are pretty big

My favourites are dead. Though I tend to go for individual works vs. 'an artist'

Giorgio de Chirico
(It's big)

Arthur Rackham

Palladian Style Arch. (It's a style, more than an architech)

As an avid Sci-Fi and Fantasy reader I grew up seeing the wonderful work of Frank Frazetta.

If it wasn't Frank's art on the cover then it was probably one of his followers such as Boris Vallejo

All three helped give faces to the heroes and ladies in the movies that played in my head as I enjoyed a good book.
