One of them is Jack Vettriano, and these are a few of his works:

And then of course, I love Frank Frazetta. His characters are almost alive. Look at the guy with the snake. You can see every muscle struggling. Much larger images here

well, it moved me enough to create it, so i thought i would share a piece i did:

good thing i draw better than i take photos!

what's interesting, at least to me, is that i drew this in 1992, before i ever learned anything about the holographic paradigm, or the reptilian agenda. obviously it's deriviative of m.c. eshcer, but i've added my own little "twists" (or twisted mind lol) to it.

tinmenace · 15-04-2007, 02:22 PM

You drew that?! Wow! I can't even draw a straight line.

there are no straight lines in nature, so they're overrated, imo.

here's the escher print that inspired me:

how about hieronymous bosch? if this guy didn't do 'shrooms, then i'm a monkeys uncle!

i'd bet my last nickel this guy knew something about babylonian symbolism.

anyone know anything about bosch?
