  1. Lol, do you mean Escher? Yeah I like Escher too, he's a damned clever guy, incredibly talented. I wish i could paint like that *sigh*
     
  2. In no certain order I like, Van Gohg, Picasso, Dali, a guy named Jacek Yerga, Brom, R. Crumb.............and many others. Here's a Yerga pic.

  4. .............his last name is actually Yerka. I meant to do an edit the night I posted, but I got stoned and missed it. I'm also into Ukiyo-e. It's the Japanese art of making woodblock prints. I especially like Kuniyoshi, he did some really dark stuff. Here's one of his lighter images.

  6. I did my latest art project for college on Ukiyo-e, have you seen much of Hokusai's work? He's probably the most famous Ukiyo-e artist
     

  7. I have seen his work, have some on my HD. Because of his fame his stuff is easy to find on the net. Here's another by Kuniyoshi, I'm going to have it tattooed on my left arm. It's one of his darker ones. I believe it depicts "Genji", or is from a story with "Genji" in the title, not sure which. I'd love to find translations of the text found on many of these prints.
