    I was wondering if any of you guys have an artist whose work you especially like, eg. Salvador Dali, Picasso, etc.

    I like Beksinski, myself. He's a Polish artist who died last year.
    His art is extremely detailed, usually disturbing and incredibly engrossing.

    I know it's trite, but there's a Wikipedia entry on him here.

    Clyde Caldwell is a good fantasy artist...but he can't compare to the skill and talent of Kit Rae. His swords, daggers, and other fantasy weaponry are only overshadowed by his awsome fantasy art. :love:

    As for tradisional artists...Thomas Kinkade is alright. :rolling:

    I have never been able to separate Claude Monet and Vincent Van Gogh, Picasso runs them a close third.

    I went to the Art Institute of Chicago last year. The most amazing room was the one with Monets. The colors in the room were breathtaking. I've never just stopped and looked at the entire room of art before.

    Dammit, Undertaker got there before me. Luis Royo is great, I've got the '06 calender on my wall, which scares my roommate.
