I like a lot of artists however my favorite one would have to be Roger Dean. He does such an amazing job at bringing his dreamlike landscapes to life.

Out of comic book artists, I really like Michael Golden, Neal Adams, and Art Adams.

Out of cartoonists, I admire Doug TenNaple, Ub Iwerks, Richard Williams, R. Crumb and Erik Schwartz.

I also gaze at classic works from Gustave Dore, M.C. Escher, and Salvador Dali.

(I can't seem to place a name on the artist or name of this piece, but I've been fascinated with it for a good four years now.)

I also have a thing for Tim Burton, Don Bluth, and David Lynch.

I'm an artist and constantly craft upon my own perceptions on the world as I learn.
So, who's up for some good old fashioned cynicism?

I'm a bit of a philistine and rarely bother to appreciate visual art for more than a few seconds at a time, and usually on a fairly superficial level.

That said, I have occasionally stumbled across this William Blake fellow and I find his weird (At least to me, the precise lines showing the muscular structures weird me out) and grotesque images hard to look away from.

Newton


A Negro Hung Alive By the Ribs to a Gallows


Behemoth and Leviathan


Also, this guy whose website goes by the name Atelier Olshinsky. Don't know if that's his/her name or not.
City Pattern 01

The city works are my favourite.

EDIT:
@Greg - The URL for that image has a guy named Ernst in it. Google brings up this fella:
