I just got back from the bookstore with a book of Gustave Dore illustrations for Dante’s Divine Comedy, sat down, and saw this awesome thread for the first time… coincidence? I think not.

I came across some great Inquisition inspired paintings and drawings by an artist [color=lemonchiffon]Nicolay Bessonov[/color] yesterday - some are pretty gruesome so beware! I think he has a thing for torture :wink:

another useful link I came across today - more graphic/illustration art but still :slight_smile:

it’s a website for collectors of graphic art but it has a list of artists [really lots of great ones] with some examples of their work and obviously once you have a name you can search further so here’s the list:
Graphic collectibles artists

Love this thread. Lots of names I recognise and lots I don’t (can’t wait to check them all out). So I won’t repeat what’s here.

Here’s an Aussie artist who works mostly in fibreglass sculpture, reimagining the possible future of humanity and all organic life. She works in the “gallery scene” but could easily be doing concept art for Cronenberg.

“we are family” and “nature’s little helpers” are the ones to check out!

I find Robert Heindel’s expressive figurative paintings of dancers truly amazing and inspiring. He was a phenomenal artist all around.
