some artists i enjoy..

Beery Method is a contemporary digital artist whose work i enjoy primarily because of his ability to combine a pop artsy symbol with a violent element shown in his Pop Fiction series.
Matt Medium has lovely sketches, I love his technique of cross-hatching&scribbling which is organized in a way that he creates his own textured value. I find my pen work a lot similar to his although i'm less advanced with color. I really like the way he incorporates different colored ink with each other. As for the subject matter I like the drawings with the animals and the way he visually combines them with animal-like nature in a more negative context evident in this piece

Laurie Lipton has always been one of my favorite contemporary artists ever since my Drawing teacher made us look up her work. She should be a poster-child for black and white value scale photo-realism. I also love her drawings because you can always find a skeleton somewhere which gives it a really creepy look and dark art is just awesome because it gives it a lot of surrealism and emotion within the expression.
