Mmm I'm not entirely sure if it's the right category for this thread, but if it's not feel free to move it.
Anyways, I was just interested to find out which artists are your favorite or who's work you admire. Rather than sitting down and looking through the hundreds of artists listed under studio, I figured it'd be easier to make a thread of the good artists people recommend :P I know this might seem like another favorite thread, but I've been looking at art books/collections from artists such as Range Murata and Abe Yoshitoshi (love their work btw) and I'd just like to know of other artists that I should check out.
So who's work do you suggest is worth taking a look at? Oh and if possible, please post a link to a sample image =)
