    Back to Loui Jover, he also does sketches, like my avatar. I feel like his art is real, but with a twist, and I like the black and white imagery with color.

    My city's art museum has a nice Wyeth collection
     
  12. The fellow that has written 'greasy' over every perceivable thing in Richmond VA, also the fellow that has written 'pubes', in fancy cursive lettering, all over Portland OR

    I do enjoy odalisques, Van Gogh, and, those medieval scenes of siege & chivalry, skeletons in motley dancing gayley to light of the moon, the song of the whippoorwil, the grand, the exultant... a kind of magic lost & forgotten in the hearts of men

    "She felt that in everything, sublime or ignoble, there was hidden a turbulent, a vital force, a significance and beauty of which art, however glorious, was but a pale reflection."

    My favorite artist is Bill Sienkiewicz. There's something about his style that I love; I don't know how to describe it. Also his use of oil paints and other traditional media in his comic illustrations was one of my biggest inspirations for getting into painting in general.

    I had a book once … Salvador Dali's work. I like his work. I think he's a bit of a mad genius like Nicholai Tesla. I like the folds in his paintings … ya know?

    I've never studied many artist, so I wouldn't begin to know how to compare the differences. Typically I either get a feel for the work or I don't. For me it works a couple ways that I understand. 1. Visual 2. Feeling Beyond that I don't know about art or the artists who ...
