I also am quite fond of Georgia O'Keeffe's work.
I'm especially fond of:
Cow's Skull with Calico Roses

This is a great thread...

I like Banksy's work too http://www.banksy.co.uk/menu.html

I love that Citroen Picasso - and what a sense of humour he must have to say what he said in that quote.

Andy Saunders is one hell of an artist, it has to be said...

Consul Capri bed:



Mentley Insanne - one hell of a customised Bentley:



X-2000, I want this soooooo bad:



Andy's a complete mentalist, just like a proper artist should be!

I agree that Banksy is a fantastic artist. A couple of my faves;





Gustave Doré is another;

That top one's gone now - it was painted over by some stupid community organisation. Apparently it would have been worth about half a million pounds.

Loooove Banksy too! Fav. has to be the jules and vince with bananas or maybe queen victoria in suspenders!
If you like Dali-esque check out Norman Parker at www.glastonburygalleries.com
I have one of his (sadly only a print ) and would love to collect more.
Can't remember the name of the one we have now :oops: :oops: and they don't do it any more, but if you guys are interested i'll take a photo tomorrow (dodgy flash on camera!). He goes from the subtley surreal to flat out mindblowing, so you can dip your toe without being to scared the first time!!
His works are exclusivly about Glastonbury Tor (near where we used to live) and his paintings capture the both mundane and the mystical qualities of that amazing place.
The only thing I miss about somerset, walking up the tor and window shopping in all the cool pagen shops in town!!

Excellent. I like the Norman Parker stuff. Had a look at the gallery, I especially like The Pilgrammage and Strangrila

I saw what looked like a Banksy stencilled picture on a redundant bank in George Street, Aberdeen, today - is that possible? or is it someone copying him?
