oh! How culd I forget Audrey! I love her work - I wanted to look at her stuff for fine art last year but my tutor said she was too illustrative or something..? I dunno, I don't get all this fine art snobbery stuff.

Helmet girl is good too, I'm finding some good artists I've not heard of before - this is a brilliant thread

That Julie Rap pic, of the feet, is such a cool idea

Frida Kahlo. My favourite artist of all time. Mostly because she was a bit mad.

Froud. Gotta love the pressed faerie book. Also his son played Toby in The Labrynth.

Lots of great artists have already been mentioned, but I have to say I am in love with Victoria Frances' work - she's a Spanish illustrator who has done some amazing gothic artwork that has been reproduced all over the world. I love anything that has a pre-raphaelite feel to it

I love Roy Lichenstein. I have done for a long time, I love the artwork William Blake created for Songs of Innosence and Experience. I also really like Vince Ray.
