Artist Series - Day 273: Kevin Jenkins

I was flipping through my "Art of Guardians of the Galaxy" book before bed last night, and was reminded of today's artist.  I'm pretty sure he's working on Star Wars now....

Artist Series - Day 272: Rob Rey

Man, I love this guy's portraits, probably more than his fantasy art, and I really like his fantasy art.

Artist Series - Day 271: Skottie Young

I actually had to check to make sure I hadn't posted today's artist already, as he is a huge inspiration for me.  I love his cartooning, and the sense of fun that permeates his work.  I love that even with the fun, there can be a darkness too :)

Artist Series - Day 270: Terry Moore

Today's artist draws some of the best women I've seen in comics.  You may know of him from "Strangers in Paradise", but I tend to prefer his sci-fi series "Echo" or his current horror series "Rachel Rising."  GREAT expressions, great "real" people drawing.

Artist Series - Day 269: Ryan Pancoast

I met today's artist a couple of years ago at IlluxCon, he's a damn fine oil painter,and seems like a great guy.

Artist Inspiration - Day 268: Scott Brundage

I met today's artist at IMC this summer, and saw him again last weekend at IlluxCon.  Such an awesome sense of humour, I love his editorial style paintings.

Artist Series - Day 267: Chris Rahn

Continuing my "traditional painter who works currently in illustration" series with today's artist.  Again, I got the opportunity to see his work at IlluxCon this year, and his colours blew me away.  Some seriously good stuff.

Artist Series - Day 266: Mike Sass

Another artist I got to meet in person at IlluxCon this year.  Mike is a great guy, and he does a lot of work in the RPG space of illustration.

Artist Series - Day 265: Wayne Haag

Finally got to meet today's artist in person at IlluxCon.  I've been following him for years, mostly because he's a kick-ass matte painter on top of an amazing illustrator and oil painter.  I love his work, there is such a sense of scale and cinema to all his images.

Artist Series - Day 264: Steven Belledin

Today's artist is another guy I've been talking to at IlluxCon, he's done a LOT of Magic: the Gathering work in oils...it's definitely neat to be able to see the actual paintings as physical objects!

Artist Series - Day 263: Patrick Jones (Slightly NSFW)

Another artist at IlluxCon, Patrick did a fantastic presentation this morning.  Super knowledgeable, super friendly, super talented.

Artist Series - Day 262: Frank Frazetta

Ok, I went to the Frank Frazetta Art Museum today, so it seems like a good time to feature him :)  I hope I don't need words to tell you who he is :)

Artist Series - Day 261: Armand Cabrera

I watched today's artist do an alla prima demo this morning at IlluxCon, and it made me want to share his work :)

Artist Series - Day 260: Philip Straub

Today's artist taught the first online class I ever took, back in 2008...Man I was bad!  He was an amazing teacher though!

Artist Series - Day 259: Daniel Danger

Today's artist is a crazy print-maker.  Now that this sort of thing is done digitally, we might not appreciate how much work goes into making traditional prints...but this guy is a MASTER.

Artist Series - Day 258: Jeon JongUk

I know nothing about today's artist at all, but I like their stuff a lot :)

Artist Series - Day 257: Ryan Woodward

Today's artist has some amazing animation work under his belt, and some AMAZING gesture drawings.  I first heard his name via "Thought of You", but since then I've met him at CTN Expo and looked at his other stuff...stunning is the word that comes to mind.
