Favorite Artist

So as an artist, we get asked a lot, Who is your favorite artist?

My favorite, Quint Buchholz, is someone no one ever knows. He is a German painter and illustrator. He has illustrated about 30 books. I think he's amazing. I absolutely love his artwork. It's very dreamlike and psychological. He is the kind of painter I strive to be. He is an excellent draftsman and colorist. His work is lighthearted and almost child-like, but heavy and thoughtful at the same time. Here are a few of my favorite pieces by him:
You Can find more of his work on his website at http://www.quintbuchholz.de/ But you'll need to use Google Translator. Enjoy.
