I can't pinpoint my favorite painting, but I love love love the work by Tony DiTerlizzi!. He is an amazing illustrator, just beautiful work!. If I could aspire to be like any one painter, it would definitely be him!. He does children's books and has done young adult book covers!. He's soooo freakin' talented! He did the black and white Spider and the Fly, the Spiderwick Chronicals and so much more!. He's a master of value and color and composition and making really cool creatures!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The mélange of imagery, text and paint applications in Walker’s work provide differing points of view or expectations as well as diverse cultural perspectives that transform the detritus of the urban landscape into an arena for contemplation and discovery!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
