**I hope this is in the correct forum*** Whos you fave photog/artist?

If this is in the wrong forum... Please forgive me, and move it to its appropriate forum please. I have no intendion in being rebellious and stuff. I just didnt know where to put it..


Right now, my faves are MC Escher in the artistic catigory.
I'm eternally greatful for Amelia G and Forrhest Black (sp)... and while I will be forever diferent, stretched as a viewer....
One Photog that has blew me away receintly is Abbie Warknock!!! She's only about 24, but when I checked her page, my jaw hit the floor and it took the longest time for me to pick my jaw off the floor.

I have no discriminatiom when it comes to art... So feel free to put whoever... it its important to you, its important to me. Please dont feel shy :-)

always liked Jack "King" Kirby of comix...
Jeffrey Smart brings urban isolation sharply into focus for me...
...but I'd near kill for a few of kandinksy's to brighten up the servant's quarters.

of course the denizens of Blue Blood get the photog nomination hands down :thumb:

I <3 Escher. the man was a genius.

I was just talking about Giger today. so I'll throw that one in.

I'm also really stoked that you gave a nod to mr. Kirby, helcyon. doesn't get enough praise, as far as I'm concerned. But i'm not going to name comic artists, otherwise we'll be here all day.

who was the NY grafitti artist that did the cartoony bright colored humans? in the 80's and 90's, I believe that he passed away from aids, sadly. His stuff is great, I've been wanting to get a book for a long time. I can never remember the name. My most influential teacher in HS had some posters of his and I'll always remember them.

umm... could it be Keith Haring? He made it out here as well years ago... quite notable bloke.

I allways adored Banksy.
So fat!

Giger and Bosch are one of those that cought my attention.

And for the end my faourite artists is my mom.

I'm very fond of Mark E. Rogers. Beware, while the front page is safe, much of his work is NSFW. Here's one pic that is SFW -- http://www.merogers.com/bloodandpear...rt/Page79.html

Danny Gomez and his awesome neon art pieces. Really a nice guy too. http://www.erowid.org/culture/art/ar...ez_danny.shtml . He had a really crazy intro but I cant find it anymore.

Besides him I love Michaelangelo's sculptures.

edit: oh shit never mind. Found it :D http://webzone.k3.mah.se/kit01051/ flashback is the intro.

As I'm a comic book geek at heart, some of my favourite artists in this genre is Brian Bolland and Brian Talbot.
As for "traditional" artists, HR Giger, with perhaps a little Dali thrown in for good measure.
I don't have a favourite photographer.

Ah yes, Giger is a great mind. I have a few signed pieces hanging up on my walls. As far as photography I love Lithium Picnic, Chad Michael Ward, Evi Numen, and David LaChapelle, thats all I can think of right now, but there are many more.
