Discussion: Who are your heroes?

[frog]

I like quite a lot of contemporary illustration:

Jason Brooks (http://www.jason-brooks.com/)

Kirsten Ulve (http://www.kirstenulve.com/)

Graham Rounthwaite (http://www.off-centre.com/graham.htm)

Rian Hughes (http://www.devicefonts.co.uk/)

and of course Jamie Hewlitt (http://www.gorillaz.com/index_N_mie45.html)


Most of these guys are english, I also like a lot of French BD stuff, particularly Moebius/Giraud, Bilal, Manara (the last two aren't french but you know what I mean), Franquin (especially the "idees noires" books), Bourgeon, Tardi, Hermann (I met him when I was 12 and showed him some truly awful drawings), and too many others for me to remember this early in the morning :)

Nice thread :applause:

[NGKrush]

I never see Rodney Alan Greenblat in any thread, so I'll post him :) He got me started on character design.

rodneys whimsyload (http://www.whimsyload.com/)
