Ralph Steadman
Best known for his political cartoons and book illustrations, British artist Ralph Steadman's work (born in 1936) can be easily recognized for its disturbing, crazy psychotic style and sketchy social caricatures. He does ink drawings as well as works in a variety of printmaking techniques such as silkscreen, lithograph, etching and other experimental processes. He has done illustrations for Alice in Wonderland, Animal Farm and his work was on the cover of several Hunter S. Thompson books. Along with art he also writes and works with Thompson. I really love his exaggerated style and the mark making he puts into his work.Albrecht Durer
15th century Germany artist Albrecht Durer was a real renaissance man. He worked in painting, drawing, printmaking and dabbled in writing and mathematical studies. He is best known for his woodcut printing and engravings which revived printmaking as an artistic medium. As an artist of the Northern Renaissance, Durer created religious work depicting scenes from the bible, as well as studies from nature. The printmaking medium allowed for mass distribution of his work, and was an affordable product for many of the time to buy. This gained Durer much success throughout Germany and into Italy as he traveled. His most well known pieces include The Rhinoceros (ink drawing), The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (woodcut),Adam and Eve (engraving) and his self portrait (oil).
