Do you have a favourite artist?
If so, who is it?

PS. It would be nice if you could post a link so others can see some of their art...if you want

my favorite artist is Da Vinci

you say that type of artists, right?

and maybe Winston Smith

My fav artist at the time would have to be, Panic! At The Disco. I dont have a link but here's a pic of the lead singer Brendon. Probabley half of you already know who he is...Nevermind my computer is taking like forever to get the picture so forget it.




I heart your icon...lol

I mean artist as in painter, sculture (sp?), stuff like that

gary larson.

umm... my step-mom's half brother is a really good artist. I'll ask my step-mom if she can send me a pic. of one of his peices. o, and my cousin sara is very very talented. she is only 20 and she has galleries of her paintings and she made quite a bit of cash on them
I'll see if I can get a link for these

haha. I feel idiotic. lolz

I like Salvador Dali! Also, John William Waterhouse's paintings. He's the guy who did this one:

We all have our "blonde moments"

i'm not educated enough to enjoy paintings and artists

my grandma is a really good painter.

Van Gogh. He painted this awesome peice of art (I have it in my bed room and a smaller raised one in my living room too)

I think I did a report on him once...was he the one who chopped off his ear and sent it to his girlfriend or some crazy crap like that?!

I honestly don't know. I just enjoy looking at his paintings.

I still think that that seaweed lookin thing is a mohawk

I watched a biography on him the other day. Yeah he cut his ear off...and gave it to a prostitute

eww...thats kinda sick

My dad did this with photoshop.This one is my favorite, a cross over Jesus shoulder.It's my dad's favorite hobbie so I think he is the best artist to me.

^ Wow, thats really amazing. I really like it

^ thanks. I'll let my dad know. lol since it's not made my me.

my favorite was...god, i cant remember his name lol. the guy who throws pain on a giant paper and it appears to just be random. i cant remember his name but i did a thing on him last year in art. i really dont know shit about art, and dont care much, but that guy was awesome.

Andy Warhol was a trip.

Anyone who can turn pissing on a canvas into a unique piece of art is cool in my book.

if that counts

m.c. escher, salvador dali, andy warhol, albrecht durer, vincent van gogh, and pushead (does alot of musical groups' logos, t-shirt designs, and/or album covers. probably most famous for metallica and misfits designs).

i'll add links in a minute.


also, i think the artist armatageshanks39 is thinking of is jackson pollack.

I love Banksy's work. I've seen some of his works in some of the alleys and lanes i go.



I love Picasso's works. There's an exhibition of his works at the National Gallery of Victoria at the moment and i really wanna go see it. Hopefully, i'll get to go see it on an art excursion.

I also like Deborah Halpern's works. She's an Australian artist, mainly doing ceramics, which are awesome. She also does sculpture, charcoal drawing, gouache and printmaking.

Van Gogh

Dave Mckean

I also like Van Gogh, I like the eccentricness of his work.

And this guy: http://adrenalinejunky.deviantart.com/ I found his art in the local paper.

I'm a big fan of the Art Deco era , 20's and 30's art, architecture, music etc

My favourite artist is Tamara De Lempicka, here's a couple of her paintings :

I love Tomasz Sętowski's works. here is his official website and here is his gallery.

Andy Warhol
Hes so cool

My dad always liked Norman Rockwell, so I'm into him too. I've done a bunch of reports on him in school, this winter there was a Norman Rockwell exhibit up at our local arts center and we went, it was really cool.
Norman Rockwell
Norman Rockwell 2
He did a bunch of stuff for The Saturday Evening Post, back when he was alive. I just always thought his stuff was cute.

mines da vinci or michaelangelo

I love Van Gogh too, and his Starry Night paintings especially. I'm always reminded of them when I hear Billie Joe sing 'starry nights, city lights' in Are We the Waiting, and when I made a sig for Wake Me Up When September Ends - with its own 'stars' image - I put Vincent's stars in Billie Joe's sky. I found it moving to think of these two beautiful artists, separated by so much time and living in such different worlds, both looking up at the stars.

I like a wide variety of artists - everyone from Rembrandt to Hopper to Tracey Emin, and I buy a painting from any unknown artist that appeals to me whenever I can. It's a great privelige to own a piece of original work, and I'm not a labels person in art or anywhere else!

I'll try and find links for the artists I mentioned - here's another of Vincent's Starry Night paintings -

ever since Art Class in elementary school, my favorite has been Georgia O'Keefe
she's most known for abstract nature and cow skulls in the desert paintings. She grew up in New Mexico so thats why all of her works have desert flowers in them.

I like him too! I have a cool book of him.

Personally, I've never really picked a favourite. I've never thought about it. But now that i think about it, probably Andy Warhol

Oh, I was just going to respond with the exact same picture for Van Gogh.

Also M.C. Escher's artwork is wonderful.
Hand With Sphere
Relativity

suicidexmakeover

I like the eye he did.
I have a thing with eyes

Van Gogh.

Myself on a good day. Ok....ummm. Da vinci

weird picture... but he is a weird artist, so it's ok

-----------------------------------------

She's not my favourite artist, but my dad's girlfriend's mom is an artist. She sells her paintings for alot of money, and even sold 2 to Jim Carey

Some of her art.

When the art teacher isn't bitching

And what would she be bitching about?

wow... Jim Carrey... her paintings must be very good!

Pablo Picasso,at the momet. I like how he paints the people. I also like his twistid paitnings and all.
