Favorite Contemporary Artists/Illustrators?

Posted by Kajenx - April 5th, 2010

I know a crap ton of old painters after 6 some classes of art history here in college (and I have a long list of favorites), but I haven't seen many contemporary artists that I like in school. My teachers show a lot of slide shows, sure, but it's mostly crappy conceptual postmodern bullshit like paint smears, drips, and ripped up paper glued onto the canvas randomly.

So I want you guys to post your favorite 2D artists living and working today. Digital art and illustration is more than welcome; if there's any way I'm post-modern it's that I believe quality can come from anywhere and be made from anything. I'd love to see some traditional painters, though, as that's my first love. (I just got a camera recently so I'll be posting pictures soon!)

Here's my current (and rather feeble) list:
Joe Sorren
Graydon Parrish
Jacob Collins
Endling (from deviantArt :3)

I know what you mean though man. I do illustration in university and there's hardly any information about contemporary artists. Most of the time is given to childrens book artists. Some of which are impressive but it's not my thing at all.

gosh u have good art. i do lots of paintings but they melt into nothing compared with yours. in fact, i do alot of paintings with animals in them, and ur one with sly all curled up on the bed was so cute....hey, i didn't copy it! though i did do one with two foxes sitting on a ledge in a raining wood. the male fox looked very much like sly, and as for the vixen, well, there are no other foxes in your game so i had to use my imagination for her :) anyhow, great job.
