My favorite painters:
Otto Dix


---- This is one of my favourite paintings and I discovered it not too long ago but I grew a loving for it right away. I have to also admit that I have a bit of a crush on this woman or at least her in the painting if she is actually a real person. Now although this painting is not too dark, just look at her she is not "normal" and I love her for that just look at that face when most might think ugly I say she is beautiful! If I could I would be this woman!
Mark Ryden
Now I don't know if I have a favourite painting of Ryden's but I do love all of his work, the detail is just so crazy and the imagery is wonderful. I have bought a book of a whole lot of his works and it is fantastic, here are a couple of his paintings. (Not necessarily my favorites) Now not many of these paintings are have dark creatures but there are some transformations of things and lots of blood and grotesque things in this paintings.
------Now Hussar is a new artist for me but I love his stuff. One of his paintings was on LA Ink that a person got a tattoo of which was crazy, the detail and darkness and wonder is compacted into these paintings and they are beautiful!!!
Here is more of his stuff. Again in no order!... actually just go to that link there are too many and it is hard to bring all of the pictures to the bottom ENJOY!
