Don't know where to put this exactly, but this looks like a good place.

The fucking man, Frank Frazetta. Great fucking art that has that nice pulp feel: http://frazettaartgallery.com/ff/index.html

One that I really just got into (as in just yesterday) is Vincent Di Fate. Nice retro style, also. Here's his site: http://www.vincentdifate.com/index.html





Anyone else you guys know of that deserve to be on this list?

Tony DiTerlizzi and RK Post. Both guys have worked primarily on art for RPG items (most notably D&D) and they both kick ass! Richard Pollard and Loston Wallace (Deadlands artist) also fal into this category.

digging this one up from the vaults:

Keith Weesner is an artist I discovered in Juxtapoz recently. He has a touch of the Ed Roth/Robert Williams style(s) in his work and has worked in animation doing backgrounds.

 Quote:
Painter and illustrator Keith Weesner has produced everything from posters and T-shirts to magazine covers and animation backgrounds. In the late 80s he studied automotive design at Pasadena Art Center, but he has been drawing hot rods and customs since he was a kid. He is influenced by the work of various artists such as Edward Hopper, N.C. Wyeth, John Singer Sargent, as well as comic artists Dave Stevens, Xaime Hernandez, and Dan Clowes.
Keith's work reflects his obsession with cars and vintage pinup illustration. As an artist and hot rodder, he appears frequently in American, English, and Japanese car magazines, including Rodder's Journal, Automobile, Street Rodder, Hot Rod Deluxe, Custome Car, Hop Up (cover illustration), Car Styling, Cruisin', Burnout, Daytona, and Model Car, which featured an article on his Hot Wheels design proposals for Mattel. In addition, his artwork appeared in DUTCHED! as part of th evon Dutch exhibition at CSUN, and his dynamic hand-inked designs -- inspired by Rex Burnett's cutaways in Hot Rod Magazine -- can be found on numerous T-shirts, including many of those at So-Cal Speed Shop.

A versatile artist, for more than a decade Keith has been designing animation backgrounds for various studios, most notably at Warner Bros. for Bruce Timm's Batman, Superman, Batman Beyond, and Justice League. And he has also worked on Cartoon Network's The Power Puff Girls feature and Gary Baseman's Teacher's Pet for Disney.

Frazetta actually started working in comics on interiors...so he is technically a comic artist that no longer does comic interior work.

Olivia, as mentioned before, and Alberto Vargas, one of my favorites, who set the standard for pin ups.










Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi

Robert Williams actually started working in underground comix, founding Zap alongside Robert Crumb, after a stint as art director for Ed Roth. his work mixes elements of psychedlia and surrealism with pop culture for a profoundly jarring effect (just ask the censors about his piece that was used for a Guns N Roses album cover in the 80's). he's inspired generations of artists who've blatantly appropriated elements of his "lowbrow" style.

Ron English creates pop cultural fusions that are cute, disturbing, satirical, thoughtful, savage, innocent, all at once. the essence of what he calls "popaganda". several of his paintings have become their own series, including his "cowgirls" (shh. don't tell mxy.)

Yup.
Even worked for DC when they were still called National Comics.
In fact, the first I ever saw of him was his Shining Knight art!

He mostly does designs for skateboards, and a few concert posters, plus other things that are reproduced as very expensive limited edition prints.

I doubt I'm telling you anything you don't know but...

Frank Frazetta is a comic book artist. Or at least he started as one. He started out as an art assistant on the Li'l Abner comic strip (as I recall,
his first professional work was winning a contest to come up with the ugliest face for a character in the strip whose face had previously never been shown.)

Frazetta also did work for the E.C. books, particularly WEIRD SCIENCE and WEIRD FANTASY, and the combined later WEIRD SCIENCE-FANTASY.

Throughout the 60's and 70s (in addition to becoming famous doing the covers for new editions of the books of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Robert E. Howard)
Frazetta did many covers for CREEPY and EERIE magazines, and the first issue of EPIC ILLUSTRATED in 1980.

I also have a portfolio that collects nice poster-size prints of the Buck Rogers covers Frazetta did in the 1950s for FAMOUS FUNNIES 209-216 in
1953-1954 (portfolio released in the mid 70's by Russ Cochran)

Frazetta is for me one of the best artists ever to come out of comics. But he is a comic book artist, and has a sizeable body of work in the comic book field.
Frazetta is also one of the grandmasters of a movement in comics I like to term "comic book fine art", along with
guys like Lou Fine, Jack Cole, L.B. Cole, Reed Crandall, Al Williamson, Berni Wrightson, Michael Kaluta, Barry Windsor-Smith, Jeff Jones, Jim Steranko,
Neal Adams, Michael Golden, and a select few others.

Ralph McQuarrie

Aside from being the original Star Wars designer, he worked on other movies like Close Encounters, Battlestar Galactica, and, to some extent, Total Recall. Not everything he does works, though, as his USS Enterprise redesign for the proposed Star Trek: Phase II TV show that became The Motion Picture shows. (Though I image it could work for a non-Trek universe). It also seems as though he's the one that came up with the idea for the saucer separation concept that they used in TNG.
