artists i like
Frits Thaulow
probably the best paintings of water you and i will ever see. it's very clear when you see their paintings that the water is always the main focus, to the extent that everything other than the water almost looks blurry lol, it's really interesting. i have no idea how someone can make paintings look this good
Hayahisa TOMIYASU
photographer who took many many pictures of a ping pong table outside their apartment window. i dunno why this project of theirs is so captivating to me. (also this site of theirs is kinda awful lol... the layout is fine but like it doesn't let you right click and blocks viewing the source html (you can obviously work around it, but yea))
Avery Mei Skillin
neat, sketchy, scribbly, drawings and paintings
android arts
an unbelievable amount of writing and art, i don't even know where to begin.. designs so thoughtful that they really seem like they could be real
Caius Nocturne
i wasn't sure if i should put this here or in the tools column. caius makes emojis, you should check out their project
mutant standard
Syd Mead
i can't believe i didn't know about this artist before. insanely detailed sci-fi, amazing design and sense of scale. my fav work by them is titled "the running of the six"
もの久保
digital fantasy horror
Alberto Ortega
slightly unnerving isometric paintings of neighborhoods
Banksy
clever, mostly stencil graffiti that often uses it's environment in interesting ways
Bees & Bombs
clean graphic design animations
グレゴリウス山田/ヤマーーダ
digital anime-style isometric scenes
Henry Wong
high saturation, flat shaded, but detailed, concept art of landscapes and pretty scenes
Ignacio Bazan-Lazcano
illustrator and concept artist who paints robots, fantastical creatures, and futuristic warzones
Moebius
infinitely inspirational and creative digital artist who paints visually striking fantasy and sci-fi scenes
Lagrange9
grand detailed concept art of landscapes and characters
Matt Adrian
beautiful paintings of mostly birds, with odd titles like
"I’ll Concede Gwyneth Paltrow’s Daily Bowel Evacuation Regimen Is Alluring-Even Inspiring-I Just Don’t Consider It Appropriate Dinner Conversation"
Paul Chadeisson
massive scenes of space, spaceships, and technology
Seb McKinnon
creative medieval fantasy paintings
Odeith
anamorphic 3D realism muralist and graffiti artist
Simon Stålenhag
realistic kitchen sink sci-fi worlds in everyday life. probably my favorite artist, along with kristoffer zetterstrand
Woon
cartoonist and concept artist. makes a lot of cute character designs. witches, dinosaurs, cats
Jakub Rozalski
painted scenes of snowy warzones, giant monsters and robots, and santa
Johnson Tsang
realistic ceramic models of stretchy, malformed, or merged faces
Zetterstrand
paintings of noclipped video game scenes and classical paintings combined with current day pop culture or tropes. you've probably seen their art in minecraft, they made the paintings. they're probably one of my favorite artists of all time
Yun Ling
high contrast concept art of a girl with a bow and arrow in a beautiful post-apocalyptic(?) landscape
Guy Billout
incredibly creative, weird, and imo (for some reason) calming illustrations
Rinotuna
[slightly NSFW, "lewd"] i really like this artist, they're probably one of my favorite artists of all time. but also they have this problem (that i think
99% of anime artists have) where they draw two types of people. either a ripped dude with a six pack, or a very conventionally attractive girl, and that's it. ignoring that though, their costume design is really really good.
Zdzislaw Beksinski
[NSFW] imagine hell and you get paintings by beksinski. paintings of either grand atmospheric barren landscapes drenched in red, or piles of horribly malformed creatures, or both
