In this thread, we will discuss about the artists who we all admire and appreciate. They can be the traditional artists from way back in the 1500s, the more recent ones, or even artists on the web. Explain why you like their work and what is so unique about their styles. You can go into detail about their background or any particular pieces they established and how you connect with them. Were there any artists that inspired you or effected your own style in any way?
Keep in mind, when I say "artist", I don't just mean painters. There's more to forms of art than just paint. Such as architect, sculpting, glass, graphic design, photography, side-walk art, sand art.. etc.
My favorite artists are the obvious ones. Vincent Van Gogh, Salvador Dali, and Monet. They haven't effected my art in any way, but I still find their stuff the most interesting to look at. M.C. Escher is another really awesome artist. He's responsible for this piece: http://oneparticularwave.files.wordp.../11/escher.gif
There are a lot of artists on Deviant Art as well, but the majority of them just use a Tablet and Photoshop(I am guilty of this as well, but I still manage to do traditional work at the same time). Which is fine, as long as they don't copy and paste things.
