<- Fey Dwarf.


Other than that, I tend to appreciate music more than material art, although mind bending stuff looks good to me. Anything that I can use as a story concept idea.

I'm a rather recent fan of Salvador Dali. My favorite of his would be:

Spoiler: Fifty Abstract Paintings Which as Seen from Two Yards Change into Three Lenins Masquerading as Chinese and as Seen from Six Yards Appear as the Head of a Royal Bengal Tiger (click to show/hide)

It looks really good (and yes, that's pretty much the only way I judge this stuff) and the name just rolls off the tongue, don't you think?

EDIT: And I was browsing wikipedia for funny titles (I'm not a real fan yet, just a burgeoning one) and I found this, which I also really like:

Spoiler: Galacidalacidesoxyribonucleicacid (click to show/hide)

Another one with an easy name.

Dale Chihuly, partially because I've actually seen a video of him and his team working.
Glass is an awesome medium.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

I'm boring, so mine are all old:

Jacques-Louis David:

He also did a nude drawing of a Pope, which is at the same time highly amusing and highly disturbing.

I'm talking about the bronze colossus. It's supposed to be made entirely of bronze.
But really he's just a softie inside. They all are really. When megabeasts come to your fort you never welcome them inside and give them a hug, do you. You heartless bastards...
