Another art style I like is art deco. This was the art style I drew in as a child. I wasn't aware that anyone else ever drew anything with the same style at the time. You might notice that many cartoons use this style today.

Anything Dadaist. It's evolved a bit, but is the spiritual grandfather of all bad messageboard photoshop edits. It also has a punky edge to it which appeals to me. Anything that requires no prior training is always desireable. (Kinda like walking for exercise)
Brute! who does most of KMFDM's covers. His stuff brings to mind woodcuts I used to make in college art classes. It also has a propaganda poster vibe to it.
Anything by H.R. Geiger.
And of course, Dali.
Wow, this is really cool. This is the kind of stuff I was hoping to find.Quote:

I really like this one as well.
Also, I know that this is kind of specific, but, does anyone know of any music themed art work? I'd think that some jazz inspired stuff could be pretty cool.
I like H.R. Giger's work.

I'm not sure if we're doing comicbook artist as well, but I Mark Texiera's work with Wolverine was phenomenal in my opinion. I have to say, I like his comic work better than his painting.

Oh, and definitely Alex Ross.

It's art deco, but there is a book on amizon full of old art deco style jazz (and perhaps other types of music) record album covers.Quote:

A couple of those I really like, any idea where to get prints from? I tried doing a couple searches online but all I found was a place with only four and none were any of the ones I wanted.Quote:

If you want Renaissance-era prints, one of the few that I think are interesting beyond the historical aspect is Giuseppe Arcimboldo.
Here are a couple of his pieces:

My interests are more in line with many of the people here; Magritte, some Escher, and Lichtenstein:
