I'm too doped up on allergy meds right now to come up with a suitable introduction to this thread, so let's just move right on past that awkwardness and onto posting awesome art instead! Classics, modern stuff, amateur stuff--whatever! Feel free to pimp your own work, too! A few notes: -- Please be sure to credit your posts, with links to their websites where relevant! -- Spoiler tag large image dumps (hurr hurr, dumps) -- Keep things SFW (or in Spoiler tags if they're LEEEEWWWWD) and within forums rules
Some of my current favs: Chiara Bautistai.imgur.com/Sy6Fz7i.jpgMore: Peter Mohrbacher (his Angelarium project is blowing my mind) i.imgur.com/cs0hH0G.jpgMore I'll dig up some more when my eyes work again.

Giorgio De Chirico's style is probably my favorite, and something I often imitate in my photography. Futurist architecture is also very fascinating, like the works of Antonio Sant'Elia. Dada is another influence in my vision, but not something I like as much as surrealism.

I admire Andy Warhol, so I guess it's no surprise that I really enjoy Brandon Bird's contemporary pop art. I think my favourite of his paintings is called "No One Wants To Play Sega With Harrison Ford". Probably my other favourite contemporary artist is Mike Mignola of Hellboy fame. As far as the classics go, Van Gogh really speaks to me.

This Thomas Saliot person intrigues me. I wish to subscribe to his newsletter. I'm also big on surrealism, especially the German Expressionist who were very influenced by Van Gogh. Paul Gustave Dorre's paintings of The Fall are probably my two favorite pieces ever. They were illustrations in a copy of Paradise Lost, and I've been in love with 'em since.

Weeeeeeeeeeeee!!! This is so going to be my favorite thread! Ok all these artists are from Deviantart btw, so first there's the awesome awesome Zarnala and the Darth Maul in a suit! Then there's Picolo-kun, who does some amazing moleskin art; This is about the candle falling in love with the flame, his other works are amazing as well! Finally (for now), here's my favorite art of Ygritte by dalisacg; As for traditional artists, off the top of my mind I love Boticelli and I love Van Gough as well, especially The Starry Night!

Paul Gustave Dorre's paintings of The Fall are probably my two favorite pieces ever. They were illustrations in a copy of Paradise Lost, and I've been in love with 'em since. Yes! Good call! I recall seeing them in my copy of Paradise Lost, as well! Which reminds me, I love William Blake's art (well, and his poetry, but especially his art). I'm not a religious person myself, but I totally appreciate the vividness of the imagery he evokes. I find it fascinating and at times utterly terrifying--which is probably the exact relationship he had with his faith. The Ancient of Days: Soldiers Casting Lots for Christ's Possessions: And of course, the popularly known Great Red Dragon series Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed In Sun Great Red Dragon and the Beast From the Sea: See more here: www.tate.org.uk/search?aid=39&sort=date&type=artwork

You're m new favorite person ever! I love Blake, his poetry especially. The first time I ever read Red Dragon, the poem at the start stuck with me more than the actual book (which really stuck with me).
I'm a terrible artist. My father was great, my mother is okay, but I can't draw a stick figure. I write, and I fancy myself, not bad. But when I read something like Blake's Divine Image, and then see his painting, I just shake my head, because I know I'll never be that good.
Cruelty has a Human Heart And Jealousy a Human Face Terror the Human Form Divine And Secrecy, the Human Dress
The Human Dress, is forged Iron The Human Form, a fiery Forge. The Human Face, a Furnace seal'd The Human Heart, its hungry Gorge.
Edit: I'm also not religious myself. But I study religion and mythology. It fascinates me to see different ideas from various cultures.

I'm not really much of an art admirer, but there are a few pieces I really appreciate. Painting wise, I think I'd have to go for this: (for those not well versed in art, that's Guernica by Picasso) I was thinking of putting some Blake here too, but I see LastFadingSmile has beaten me to it. I'm also rather fond of some of Barbara Hepworth's sculpture, particularly the very abstract forms like this ( Single Form):

Bastien Lecouffe Deharme, who has done work for Magic the Gathering and Tor, among other things. Note: his blog is NSFW (many exposed lady chests in his work)

Andrea Vaccaro's painting of Raphael That whole period in Italian art has always had an allure to it. There's something about this stuff that just makes you feel like you could get lost in a musty old book for weeks at a time. More of Raphael in Raguel's Blessing, which I had never seen until I looked for the first one.
