one of my favorite paintings. currently reading Mythology - Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes and it reminded me of this painting.

it's by the artist Francisco Goya, who is a spanish painter. he is best know for his work depicting the french invading spain in the 1800's.

the reason i love this painting is because it's so gruesome. it moves you - and for some odd reason the painting doesn't look quite right. if you look closely it's because of the disproportion of the body.

more on Goya - this page has additional paintings by Goya. check out the change of his style. he was basically doing the typical 'court painter' type of stuff. portraits and such. they all look nice, nothing special really... then his paintings seems to take on life - anger, distress, etc...

his style and topic for his paintings changed during the french invasion and it shows in his work. i personally think it's powerful stuff. one of his more famous painting is 'The Shootings of May Third 1808.' you can read for yourself the life of Goya in this website

The Rock, by Peter Blume. I love this painting. This is the biggest version of it I could find.
I discovered it in the Art Institute of Chicago several years ago.

Argh, I hate having to link to a MySpace page, but this girl's work is just WOW. Reminds me of Stunt Kid's work, and I wonder.. who got there first? Not that it matters, they're both damn good at what they do.

Was looking from some art on the "108 Marginal heroes of China" and came across this very useful site. Might actually purchase something from here.

Quoted: This warrior comes from a classic Chinese novel written about 650 years ago often titled in English as "Outlaws of The Marsh" or "All Men Are Brothers".

This guy... wow. I don't think I've ever seen a subject matter culture clash as phenomenal as what this guy churns out. I mean, I'm a big fan of drawing modern dudes wielding samurai swords, but this guy knocks it up a notch. Gawdamn.

This guy paints pretty much the raunchiest stuff I've ever seen. Delicious.
