This is a selection of some artists whose work I admire. Yes, I'll admit that the majority of them are comic book artists, but as I said before, I am a comic geek ;). I've listed the addresses of pages featuring their work you can get to if you want to check out the rest of their stuff. You just need to copy and paste the links.

DAVID MACK - Amazing artist who created the "Kabuki" series, and has also written and provided art for "Alias" and "Daredevil" including the "Wake up" arc with Brian Michael Bendis. Uses mixed-media to create some truly beautiful images. Kabuki rocks too. A gallery of his work can be found at the address above. |

TIM BURTON - Before he was a director he was also an animator for Disney and is a talented artist. My favourite of his films would be "Edward Scissorhands" but I think all of his films are beautifully designed, even if the film isn't that good (Planet of the Apes anyone?....). Some of his original sketches can be found at the address above. |
