Who's your favorite illustrator ?

Rex Burnett

 

J.C.Leyendecker,Frank Godwin,Reynold Brown,on and on....
Mostly known for other work,but they all did produce automotive illustration.

I predict that Norwell fella will have a bright future too!

 

Ger Peters, aka "Dutch Courage" vector wizard.
Dart 165.
Larry Williams, Williams graphics.

 

Baskerville

 

Joel Naprstek

 

I saw Grundy's stuff at Viva last year....damn cool. The guy from bomonster.com is way cool, too. He works on scratchboard...I played with that stuff in art cl*** and couldn't make it work.

How about doing it in house? grab paper pencil and some beers and go nuts!

Me. Then Steve Stanford.

 

Robert Williams

 

Random idea; find a design student, load them up pics of stuff you like, some direction and a box or two of beers or a few bucks. These are the kind of projects some kid out there is dreaming of doing; i know I was when I was a student.

 

i'll second that.

and may i suggest myself? I did some work for local shop and friends.
i'll send you a PM with some of my stuff if interested. or look up my posts in F.A.S.


But to answer your question:
Chris Frogget
Weesner
Norwell

 

KEITH WEESNER

JEFF NORWELL

For a totally different angle....

GEORGE TROSLEY , I loved Trosley's how to's in "Cartoons" ,when l was a kid.

Regards Dave.

 

Check out Chris Piscitelli / Design 165.

 

I'll pick Jimmy Smith, JEEM on the HAMB.

Only one problem it's tricky to get them as low as he draws em'.

 

WOW !
what a great bunch of talent!
ART... including illustrative and commercial art...
is subjective. There is no wrong or best answer.
It is awesome to see the wide variety of strong opinions.
I am still weaving through learning, some of the new (to me) talent.
keep it comin!

 

Man I love George Trosley great CARtoonist.

But as far as ART Tom Fritz and Norwell get my vote

 

Ben "DragDaddy" Mitchell would be at the top of my list.

 

BiG DITTO on Trosley!!!...

 

check out aran de baron from stonhenge wear and design he has been doing killer work www.stonhengewear.com.au

 

Slammed, that's awesome work!

 

Yes sir it is. This piece was done by Beatnik Dennis McPhail (here on the HAMB) has a great portfolio of work.

 

So many are so very good
Favorite? Would be K Weesner …. A close second is Norwell .. The changeups in styles he pull off is ****in amazing.
