Who's your favourite artist?
As far as classic and beautiful go, I am in love with John William Waterhouse but for surreal and horror it has to be H. R. Giger - famous for his "Alien" design; the character Sil from "Species"; and that horrific worm-like demon in "Poltergeist II"
Give me Giger any time! :D |
My favorite author has to be Ralph Stedman. I've gotten two of his works tattoo'd on my leg.

Hi there :) Wow! I bet they look brilliant on skin! I have tattoos, but not anything to do with artists - altho the tattooist is a brilliant artist. I have an ankh on my right arm and a very long and colourful gecko on my left arm.
I have considered a full length *Alien* (from the Signourney W. series) on one leg - but still havent found the right design yet. Maybe one day..... :D Cheers! |

I wouldn't say he's my FAVORITE but I dig Stephen Gammell's illustrations.

Gustave Dore. His woodcuts are amazing and contribute a lot to any book they're in. Here's one from the Raven:
