Is there any image or artist that makes you willing to improve your photomanipulation skills and style?

Cliche' probably but Bert Monroy. Years ago I saw him do a chop on The Screensavers. Hooked me at that point.

For me it's 'lithographs?' I think that's the right word...
I have several 19th and 18th century bibles..and. WOW
seriously, the prints in them books are astounding.
I can't seem to mimic it in PS at all.
My other motivation to come up with 'new' angles is of course...
Crowned.
otherwise I get depressed when i make anything at all and realize later it was totally inspired by something someone else had already done.
i am looking for unique and new...that's what I dig.

But Rockwell has always been my biggest inspiration.

Dusseault work is really special, thanks for the link ReyRey.


Scionshade: your work is very inspiring as well.
I have read an article about the giclee on canvass printing process. To make a long stroy short: lithographists are against this new process because it is not artistic.

wow

those matte paintings are so cool

Thanks for sharing that! ~ I start school next week! Network Technology Academy Institute for Photoshop and Illustrator . back to the ole drawing board!

Norman Rockwell.
Not only do I like his painting style but I love the humor too.

I liked and enjoyed all of these images...
Norman Rockwells' son is also an artist and illustrator and will
bring an exhibit to Phoenix sometime this winter.

great stuff, be sure to check out the Hangar 7 link

Dusseault kikass.
many things inspire me ...though i try to keep focused on a personal way of doing things , but of course Giger, dali,Bacon works are what i have been eating since the beginning so...

Me I'm all about caricatures, and this guy is the best.( C F Payne)

I've been fooling around with PSing some lately but it's in the usual 'GravyBoat" style so not really worth posting. But I'm getting a little better all the time. Maybe one day....

Yeah I like CF payne
