Julian Beever. He does the 3D sidewalk art. I find it fascinating. I would like to watch him create one to see exactly how he does it. Here's some examples:

Those are very impressive works of perspective!

Some of my absolute favorite artists who are a huge influence on my own art are:

László Moholy-Nagy â€" This painting in particular is heavily influential in a lot of my graphic design work
[spoiler:3bt0qyz7][/spoiler:3bt0qyz7]

Claes Oldenburg â€" My favorite sculptor. I've seen a lot of his stuff in person, but I haven't seen this one yet. He has a giant safety pin at the sculpture garden here.
[spoiler:3bt0qyz7][/spoiler:3bt0qyz7]

Saul Bass â€" I like to incorporate a lot of hand-drawn elements in my graphic design, and Bass did it with such panache. I'm also really fond of hand-lettering.

I love artists and designers who challenge conventional rules. The Bauhaus crowd and Pop artists just blow me away.

Quote from: "Sireal"Alexander of Macedonia,

How's that? We're not talking art of slaughter are we?

Henry VIII get's credited with Greensleaves sometimes, that's my childhood ice cream van music, I'm a bit sceptical Henry really made that music.

No, the art of living/acting as a god.
