Illustrators

jimwoodring.com
Jim Woodring is one of my favorite illustrators. His vibrant colors and bizarre characters inspire many of my snigs.

claymeyer.com
Fun characters and commentary.

pixture.com/icons
Hide Itoh is a master of icon illustration.

markryden.com
Mark Ryden's paintings are beautifully rendered. His imagery is what you might call “hauntingly cartoonish”. The Bunnies & Bees series are my favorite.
