Art that moves you

[pollock]

I have not seen a thread about what artists that have inspired you, so I thought I would start one.

Here's one man whos art makes me think:

Art that moves.

I have a few fave artists.

One of them is Jack Vettriano, and these are a few of his works:

And then of course, I love Frank Frazetta. His characters are almost alive. Look at the guy with the snake. You can see every muscle struggling. Much larger images here (http://frankfrazetta.org/paintings0001.php)

well, it moved me enough to create it, so i thought i would share a piece i did:

good thing i draw better than i take photos! :o

what's interesting, at least to me, is that i drew this in 1992, before i ever learned anything about the holographic paradigm, or the reptilian agenda. obviously it's deriviative of m.c. eshcer, but i've added my own little "twists" (or twisted mind lol) to it.

[tinmenace]

You drew that?! Wow! I can't even draw a straight line. :p

there are no straight lines in nature, so they're overrated, imo. :D

Hmm... thought I posted this already :confused:

Anyway, I love the works of Salvador Dali. I saw this painting for the first time when I was about 10 years old in the Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery in Glasgow. Everytime I see it for real, it has the same impact on me, amazing -
