Among my favorite artists who have done album covers (or whose work has been used for album covers) is Frank Kelly Freas-his art on Queen's News of the World (one of the earliest albums I ever bought on vinyl) is what set the stage for my love of classic album cover art (though the fact many pieces by Frazetta and Whelan have been used doesn't hurt) -M I really do like Frank Kelly Freas. My favorite is his cover for Martians Go Home.  |

I'm also a huge fan of Roy Krenkel. He was one of those artist's artist who never seems to get the recognition he deserves. He was a huge influence on both Frank Frazetta and Wally Wood.   |

Wow, that's some great stuff. I love the guy(Tarzan?) riding the lion. I'm going to need to look him up. Thanks for this Slam! |

One of my all-time favorite visual artists. I always wanted to visit the H.R. Giger Museum in Germany. I used to have "Birth Machine" hanging on my wall as well as my desktop background. It's still one of my favorite pieces of art.  I also really like "Satan I" which was used as the album cover for Celtic Frost's To Mega Therion.   |

Dale Chihuly uses blown glass to make beautiful and psychedelic looking sculpture installations. I caught a documentary about him on PBS that is absolutely fascinating. There's a gallery out here with some of his art.  I drive past that just about every day. |

My favorite artist is Femke Hiemstra but she did do an art comic years ago, it was tough tracking that thing down. A hand silkscreened minicomic published in Belgium about a decade ago. I got to meet her, along with another favorite of mine, Audrey Kawasaki, a couple years back at an opening.  |

I'm on my phone, but I like a lot of the artists that work with Kid Robot and such. Kozik's The Gipper sculpture is one of my favorite pieces in any medium.

Wow, that's some great stuff. I love the guy(Tarzan?) riding the lion. I'm going to need to look him up. Thanks for this Slam! Krenkel was one of the FLeagles and collaborated with Al Williamson several times. And a few of Frazetta's Warren covers are based on his layouts. As far as contemporary art, I'm a big fan of Robert Williams, Todd Schorr, and several in the lowbrow movement. Also, Isabel Samaras. im also enameled with a lot of mid-century illustrators and paperback artists like Al Parker, Coby Whitmore, Robert McGuinness, Robert Maguire and a ton others. As far as "fine art," I gravitate to the surrealists, especially Rene Magritte and Dali. Marcel Duchamp is another favorite. |

I guess it's the comic reader in me, but I love artwork that tells a story. My favorite piece of all time tells many stories. Each time I look at it, I find something new going on, or view what I've seen before in a new light. Corot's Bridge at Narni The image below is sized for the forum, but a larger version will do the fine detail of the painting far more justice. In fact, I've seen things in the painting itself that I've never seen a photograph accurately capture. For example, there are people across the river.  |
