I know there is more to add to this little list, but my IE favs in ?art? category are well over a 1500 links. So I?ll stop now before I get carried away with all my links .

Now, what's yours?

COPEY

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

*whispers to copey* pssst. g-r-u-m-b-l-e

Nagel
Boris

Craig Mullins and HR Giger would be my favourite, thanks for the cool list though !!

Fantastic idea!

That's a nice list you got there. I actually think it was you who pointed me towards Derek and David Ho a while back. Anyways, some of my all time favourites:

Adolphe Mouron (Cassandre)

Alphonse Mucha

Norman Rockwell

Gustave Kaitz

Kate Greenway

Salvador Dali

Michale Kungl


Ok, I'll stop now. If I hunted down sites for all of them I'd be here all day. I really should start a collection of these links.

Edit: You said designers too! Then ya better add Nevill Brody to that list.... eh... darn it's hard trying to find a site for him. Anyone have a decent one?

G: What?? I can't hear you speak a up a little!!

WJ: Can you be more specific in names if you can, cus looking up 'Nagel' or 'Boris' just gives to many links/leads to, other people that you might not mean.

Hugh: Yea the wonderful HR Giger, I was going to add him in my list but just got lost in all the digital stuff

Drac: Some nice people there, I like Michael L. Kungl art. Oh the designer Neville Brody (you missed the 'e') is he a type designer/graphic designer? if so try this &this for info.

Keep them coming!!!

Boris Vallejo
I saw an original Boris painting on sale at a comic book convention once. It was roughly 2" x 3" and the price was $2,000. Dang!

Patrick Nagel
I've got a Nagel print. Wish I new the name of it. My ex-girlfriend bought it for me because it was on sale. The store accidently got twice as many as they were suppossed to, so they were selling them at 50%. The print just happened to be the only Nagel print that I've ever wanted.

[This message has been edited by CPrompt (edited 10-13-2002).]

C:\ : I changed my name a while back when there was all talk about name changes and stuff, never wanted to make a big fuss over it so I just re-reg'ed with COPEY and just went form there. I would have asked Doc to add my post no. (cus Darkshadow has 1000posts) and reg date, but that's would have been to much fuss for Doc and things so I never asked.

NOTE: to all you people who don't know yet- COPEY, is DARKSHADOW, and DARKSHADOW is COPEY, etc..... Just wanted to change my name cus Darkshadow is old and errmmm long to type.

Right back to the topic..... any more great artists you like?, here's one some people might like Justin Bua , very nice stuff there!!!!

COPEY

Adam Jones

This guy is pretty good. Found a link to him from RazorArt I think.

Kind of reminds me of Brittle Bones

Ahhh FLR. I remember going to Arizona with my mom when I was 7 to take a tour on some FLR homes, man he was a genius. His bio was on TV a few days ago.

Yeah, and you'd think seeing that on TV just a couple of days ago you'd at least get his initals correct.

I'm having a 'doh moment.

So.

God (<--link to one of His many masterpieces)

Seriously, whenever I need a little inspiration I just get out into nature. I'll climb up Mt. Gwanak (near my house), watch the sunset, and think, "Wow, that's a nice gradient, God."

I do appreciate human art as well, and there have been some pretty nifty links here so far. I just love it when the Asylum pools its collective knowledge...
