I have a very loose definition of art, so here goes, in no particular order:
Paul Di Filippo
H.R. Giger
Johnny Depp
Jean-Michelle Basquiet
Anson Maddox
Sarah Donovan
Oh, wait, you mean subculture-specific? Okay. I don't have favorite artists
per se, and I tend to get cold on popular people. Mostly it's just people I
know, again in no particular order:
Rain Simpson
David Steele
Matt Harpold
Charla Trotman
Peter Bednar
Nate Patrin
b.root
also has a loose definition of the number five. o)

Ah, that's the spirit, however I would not put Joe Ekaitis on that list of
worst artist. I see that I must set aside yet another catagory.
Ok folks! now about this?
Name the Artist(s) who get little or no recogition(sp?) yet pumps out tons of
art to the fandom. Or at least tries.

Jordan Greywolf. The man has hundreds of scans on the net, and I hardly
ever hear his name mentioned; which is a pity, because he does some
beuatiful work. Another one of my favorite artists.
Here's five more of my favorites, just for the heck of it, and again in no
particular ranking:
Conrad Wong
Maggie DeAlarcon
Amara (oCeLoT) Telgemeir
Tracy Kazaleh
Monika Livingstone
Amy 'Amara' Pronovost
was chased around by rabid Ewoks for posting this drivel!

Well I've only seen my name mentioned once this time around..
In thw words of Calvin 'your popularity polls are slipping' <grin>
Could just be because I've been busy with two jobs and quiet lateley.
Good work with little recognition: Christine Klunder... does anyone
know what happened to her? I haven't seen her in a long time
Amy
Bev Clark/Steve Gallacci
Art you like? Or art you respect? There is a difference. Or artist you
like as a person, since it said "favorite furry artist" ;)
If we are talking about people in the "community" as opposed to pros who
happen to do anthro/furry/animal art -
Tom Verre (likely the best true artist who's been throught the fandom)
Then there are a leagion of other artists who i enjoy the work of, the
memeber list of Huzzah, Most of the stable at AP, and any number of others.
There are next to none that I don't like on some level, but they ususally
are either some unfortunate beginners who haven't yet or can't seem to
ever mastered the basics, or those whos style simply doesn't "click" with
me, like Hardiman(?)or is it Hardison(?), the guy who does those
rediculiously explicite skunks. Regardless of content, there is that
little something in how he does it that just doesn't work for me. But
that he seems sucessful and popular, hopefully for reasons other than
exposed genitalia, shows that favorite artist is awfully subjective.

boojum cocks his head... "Can I vote for most of them?" He
asks with a *giggle*. "Actually, my top 10 list would have
to be Tygger!, Lance Rund, Michelle Light, Monika Livingstone,
Terrie Smith, Bruce Elliot, Paul Defenbaugh, Wookie, Michelle Gault,
and Keese."
boojum the brown bunny
Brian Yee
yes, Too bad he left without a trace
John & Paula Knode
they'd have to be:
Michelel Light, Nuff' said
Conna Stevenson, Cuanu rocks
Ken Singshow, Merry is adorable, and he can do almost any kind of art,
Terrie smith, Love those Lemurs!
Eric Shawtz, A fellow Ohioan
Candy L. Trixi is, um, very atractive. (Words come to mind that She'd
rather not have me use. ;) )
Kajima Appleseed Stormrider, I wonder how they fit that on his driver's
license.
and lastly,
Ginger, who's real name escapes me at the moment.
And, the worst. (nothing personal guys)
Myself, I'm still drawing on notebook paper wiht a mechanical pencil.
G. Raymond Eddy,
Sully, minus Reeba, she's cool
Rober Djesus, please stick wiht aneme art, your stinking up the fandom,
and last and least,
A furry who's name escapes me, but who's perverted ball point pen
drawings on norebook paper of nude vixens from certain. . .angles are
the worst and most disgusting thing that ever passed as furry, please,
get a life or some skill.

He and Pat Kelly are two of my absolute favorites. I can never get enough of
their stuff, and I can't think of a single thing they've done that I didn't
like. I want more Yujo! I want ten more volumes of Verre-Ations. I'll spend
good money on his art!

for their efforts and personalities, meaning, that I am more apt to
enjoy the work of an earnest beginner over a professional simply by the
personalities that come out through the artist themselves and their
art.. =). But anyways, these are some of my faves, and why they are.
In no particular order...
Chandra Odom: Simply amazing expressions, wonderful character designs!
I just love Isis!
Rose Besch: A very stylized form of anime, modern, and beautiful! And
she tends to work solely with generic brand markers. still managing
wonderful effects. Gorgeous!
Albert Temple: It's hard not to smile at his work. It's so amiable,
friendly, and expressive. The characters leap right out at you. And such
a sweetie IRL!
Thomas K. Dye: Comic strip artist whose simple designs become so
vibrant and expressive...I wish I had half his talent, gosh! And of
course, he too, is adorable and sweet IRL. What a guy. =D
Amara Telgemeier: Versatile, extremely talented, and just plain
Awesome. Words can't describe her work.
Sara Wheeler: Noelani Manawolf is just too awesome. Her pics are so
sweet and sexy, and detailed! Wonderous use of color, too.
Don Sanders: Dsan Tsan of Yiffnet, doesn't think his adorably
expressive art is any good. Man, chow, show some confidence, I LOVE your
work! It's simply charming.
"Cyber Hare": Wonderfully adorable pics, great expression!
Tom Ziolkowski: Awesome cartooney stuff...I sure miss his work.
Ken Singshow: Amazing cartooney stuff, with such a wide array of
styles. This guy can draw just about anything!
John Barrett: Roxikat! Wonderful anime!
Micheal Higgs: Simply adorable art, so realistic too! You just wanna
cuddle the creatures he draws. =D
Ryan Dewalt: Now, would I leave my own significant other out? I'm
stepping out of the "bias zone" as much as I can for this, bear with me.
;> Tet's art needs a bit of work, but I've seen him draw in person.
I've seen the amount of detail he painstakingly adds to his pics, and I
know how absolutely hard he tries to make things work. And for that, I
admire his art. (It's improving a good bit too!)
Scotty Arsenault: Sully. Just. Rules. =D.
Jessica Heyl: Asrial Cat...Amazingly expressive pics, and so
adorable and energetic!
Jason Furness: Extremely funny and expressive art...this guy has one
of the best senses of humor I've ever seen.
Goodness...there are so many more...This isn't even half, but all of
these artists have simply charmed me with their delightful work and
wonderful personalities. I bow down and bring offerings of goldfish
crackers to you all! >:)

Tom and Leah are pretty much out of furry fandom these days, and doing
pretty well working for Humongus Software; I rather suspect they don't miss
Furry much. Pity; I was fond of both of their work.

Nah! I would not put myself in that catagory. I don't pump out that much art
to the fandom, I'm rather a slow doggie at that. As for trying, I have been
told I could do better, so that could be considered not trying hard enough.

I am getting a little concerned over this list of disliked artists; I purrsonally
think such opinions should not be pubically aired and that the feelings of the named
artists should be respected. If others said the same things about in public, how
would you react? I would not publically embarass another artist whose art I did not
like. Can we please go on to another thread?

Passion inspiring, goes to David Hopkins, Pepe Val Pew. He has his own
style and while it may not be as realistic as some nor as 'good' in some
people's
eyes *My own the first time I saw some of it*, but geeze, his style carries
over
excellently in the subject matter of his comics and anything else he does.
It's just
not 'cute' as some people like, and if it's not cute, it's not popular,
apparently. :P
Now that I've killed the comma, I'll just go on saying, that of all the
artists I listed previously,
my favorite for portraying a mood and passing it on, is David, even if I do
find
some of his subject matter .. uhm.. questionable ;)

Of course, if you're talking Chester, technically he's not a lemur.
Terrie explained him to me once, when we were first talking over the
litle crud.
He's what's sometimes known as a "miner's cat" -- a somewhat
large-ish, non-domestic feline native to North America. Their range
included Texas and Kansas at one time, though they seem to've thinned
out the last centure or so. Least I'VE never run across one.
An easy mistake, though. It's the looong, striped tail that leads to
the confusion.
That's okay. I bob it for him in HAVOC # 7. Yep, cut it right off,
leaving him with a new identity and personality. From then on, it's "Mr.
Stubs", the passive and rather dull green grocer!
Of course I'm just kidding...

I agree bout the silence. I'd rather hear "Yeah, fu*k
the ilr, I fu*kin hate it too". Probably more than half
of us artists here(& writers too) have never had our
names mentioned in the same sentence as art unless
it was initiated by an obvious play for pity, or mentioned
by a scant few friend(no, not plural). Where's the recognition
I spent 20 hours a week to get, why should I even be an
artist if no one knows it? And don't gimme that freakin
"you should do it for yourself" line. We've already got the
images in our heads people, we don't really need to see it
on paper. We're only trying to share them with you.
If a tree falls on Bambi in the forest and no one's around
to hear it, well, you know the rest. But you wanna talk
about naming everybody, SHOW ME DA BANDWIDTH!
Which is probably why it was a stupid thread in the first
place and so few people tied their boats to it. They knew
better, Donit Suk be'in somewhat of a newby?
Wouldn't stop me from participating in it in the future.
I like dropping names, but I won't hold my breath
waiting for someone to drop mine.
You seem comfortable with this so I won't lie to you Dsan,
I wouldn't put you in my top ten, maybe #21. But that's only a
matter of interest. Maybe it's just the thing I have against
Playboy Bunnies, but the rabbits just don't do it for me.

While it's true that quite a few folks chose the same artists as
favorites, quite a few others (including myself) chose artists -not-
mentioned as a consensus. So it's not entirely a 'popularity' contest; the
choices made were personal.
I strongly disagree that silence hurts more than a negative comment,
particularly in this case. A carelessly or thoughtlessly negative comment
such "So-and-so's art stinks" is needlessly cruel; this isn't even a
critique, but a personal value judgement, and can cause ill feelings and
resentment. Whereas silence... is silence. It may not be helpful, but at
least it doesn't contribute to ill feelings.
And for what it's worth, I disagree with the opinion offered of both of
those gentlemen's work; I happen to think their work is just fine... and
I've enjoyed Joe's work for years, since he first posted regularly on AOL's
predesecor, Q-Link.

Which was one reason why I changed my topic from disliked artists to artists
who are not reconized for their work. Although some of you may find that not
much of a change, I explained before that my intentions was not to belittle or
hurt anyone, but to try and bring to light all thoses who at least try and
don't get much of a fanfare. I am sure not everyone feels bad about this
considering the responses I have seen. Am I to gather that it is ok to sing
the praises of those who excel and ignore those who dare to try??
This thing happened last year and I think the year before with the list of
favorite artists. I felt it was high time some of the lesser known artists
share in the light. Even if it may be in a negative light, it will give them
an incentive to improve and join the ranks of artists who would be known.

Ah. Well, that's different. The problem was in the header: there's a
whole world of difference between listing artists you think are -bad- and
artists you feel are being overlooked.
>I am sure not everyone feels bad about this

I don't have a problem with mentioning the overlooked. But I think you
greatly misunderstand the whole 'favorite furry artists' thing: it's people
listing artists whose work they personally like, not necessarily those
artists who are exceptionally good or who excel beyond all others. The two
may and do coincide quite often, but they're not mutually interchangeable.
This isn't an award show, but folks listing their favorites, and in such a
list, yes, several artists will always get left out; frankly, it can't be
helped -- there's only so much space in a post, and so many good artists.
I've tried to list just a -few- of my favorite artists, but the truth is I
like and admire a lot of good artists, and it's just darn impossible to
list -everybody-; and no matter whose praises I sing, there will always be
somebody else whose work I enjoy who will wind up getting ignored simply
for the reason that I can't mention everybody in a single breath.

Spotlighting an artist in a negative light, such as Artists Who Are Bad,
is not really a very good incentive for improvement. It's a
discouragement, and is likely to even inspire -some- artists to hang it up
and walk away from drawing at all. (I've known folks like this.) They
find it tough enough -not- to be mentioned at all, but to be mentioned in
this manner could be heartbreaking to them, and the straw that breaks the
camel's back.

There, that should be a better topic, artists who need improvement and have
some talent, but just aren't quite there... and I am wording this carefully
so as not
to offend these people, because my list is full of people who are quite
popular and
friends of mine, but their artwork is lacking a bit in being uniform and
well... it just lacks
something in general that keeps it from looking professional and smooth.
In other words,
this isn't negative, more of an encouragement really.
It's artwork that I enjoy looking at and know the artist is trying and
improving on,
but isn't quite there yet. This is for artists who shouldn't give up,
because they DO
have talent. There, how's that sound?
Bobby (Although I don't think he draws anymore)
Myself (I want to be in a category!)
Candy Lewin (Trixi, who has a LOT of potential)
Dsan Tsan(An artist in other means, thinking to that beautiful scan of the
more crafty and harder
to do yarnwork, grrr, and I can't remember what it's called, but it
was gorgeous.)
Darkhorse (Nice artwork and an intriguing character)
There, that's five. I could list more... but I can't remember their NAMES!

As far as I know, his art has only appeared in PawPrints and in a portfolio
called "Injected With a Poison" that Lynx has been selling at cons. He's got a
whole pile of new stuff in PawPrints #8, and Zolna has some copies of the
portfolio available on clearance (Blasphemy!). I tried to get ahold of him in
email once, but failed... anyway, he draws all sorts of kick-ass rollerbladers,
BMX'ers, surfers, DJ's, musicians, and general warm-fuzzies type couples... stuff
with a Christian bent too which is really good. Alot of the same themes which
Nate Patrin and others of that milieu are bringing to the fandom, y'know, the
young urban trip-hopper culture. Awesome.... I'd kill for a chance to buy one of
his originals.

The posers may not but I have. Great artist. I first saw his work around
1983. Wish I would have bought some then. A friend at the time knew him
fairly well. I haven't seen his work since then but if he's kept at it all
these years I'd imagine it would be incredible.

Ah, there we are folks! Exactly what I have been trying to present there.
It took me a few moments to figure out who Mouse is, otherwise if the question
was not raised, nobody would know. I am sure there are others out there who
still go unnoticed. Bring them to light people, give them their 15 seconds of
fame.
I feel better now cause at last I am interacting with a thread without having
to battle flameage on a subject that is quite understandable and easy to
perform damage control on.

This may be a public discussion group, yes, but common sense dictates that
-some- conversations should be kept private or semi-private. Discussing
the fallacies of artists' work, or the -perceived- fallacies of artists'
work, in a public forum would be exceedingly tactless. There's a whole
world of difference between a -critique- and a -criticism-. It is best to
discuss them in private, whether in person, by phone, or by e-mail. If I
do critiques of another artist's work, I keep it to that level, whether
good or bad; it's nobody else's business.
On the other hand, if you want to discuss flaws and really bad art
techniques that bother you in a general fashion without naming names or
pointing fingers, that could be done, along with examples of how -you-
strive to avoid making the same errors.
But to publicly berate or deride other artists for what you consider poor
quality or sloppy techniques -- in a very public forum -- serves no real
purpose other than to antagonize others and whip up bad feelings all
around. (On a more practical note, keep in mind that you never know if
twenty years down the line you might wind up depending on one of these
people for a job; be careful of prematurely burning bridges, because some
folks have long memories.)

Sheesh! are we back to this again? I was hoping this would be flame free, but
I guess not. Yep, a valid point was made about discussing the fallacies of
artists work in a public forum may be tactless and in bad form. But would you
consider the orginal post being the same way? If it is harmful to mention and
name artists who don't make the cut in public, then mentioning artists who
have gotten good and excelled should be considered in this. You can't have
one without the other. I guess the worry here is real negative feedback here,
fragile egos, and such. Gee, why not ban Sickel and Eggbert from the airways,
Thumbs up and Thumbs down could be considered the same thing, no?

I don't know about that, I felt the urge to improve for the sake of showing
them I can. It seems those who are striving to make the art biz their
liveyhood would be affected by this. Perhaps it would be best not to even
come up with the idea of Favorite Artists just for the sake of not having
Artists who don't meaure up follow suit. Heck! I know I don't measure up but
really I don't really care, I've been given worse treatment and still
survive.
Ok, I guess for the sake of making some folks happy and such things like that,
I advice all to continue with the Favorite Artists Thread and totally drop the
Thread about artists who don't deserve mention.

Couldn't agree more. The same is true for Leah Verre, though I don't
think she considers herself strictly a "furry" artist, I still don't
see enough of her work these days.
My "favorites" are always in flux; you probably wouldn't get the same
list from me on any given day. However, there are a few whose works
are consistently good and/or entertaining: The Carspeckens, Ken
Singshow (his NIMH drawings and his "DefCon" drawing of Stinken and
his rat friend -- I laugh every time I see that one), Sondra Roy
(who does morbidly humorous and beautifully rendered art like "True
Love" [I think that's the title] along with great characters like
Mort the dog and Trashi Vixen), the Heathers -- Riesen and Kendrick,
Shelly Pleger (who does all that marvelous CATS DON'T DANCE fan art),
Comrade Blumrich, "Loam," Jay Kennedy... Heck, just about anyone
reading this who has posted art to Avatar or Rat.org has gotten on
my list at least one time or another.

No flames offered, Don; just sensible advice. There's no harm in
mentioning artists who have -improved-; that's not quite the same things as
saying "this person's art stinks". But just digging in with a list of
'bad' artists probably -will- result in a massive flame war. There's also
the matter that not everybody is going to agree with what constitutes 'bad'
art; that's something I prefer to leave in the judgement of the more
experienced artists than to the readership of AFF at large.
Siskel and Ebert are professional critics with a very keen understanding
of the medium they critique; they've been doing it, singly and together,
for a few decades now, and know -how- to critique. And you'll note that
even -they- aren't in agreement much of the time.

The Favorite Artist poll shouldn't ever be mistaken for a Best Artist
poll; the two are -not- necessarily interchangeable. Not making it on a
Favorites list doesn't mean that an artist is in any way deficient; he's
just not a favorite.

Why? If there's artists you feel that deserve to be mentioned, then by
all means mention them. You can do that without making a list of 'bad'
artists.

Ayyy-men! That little story of hers what appeared in HUZZAH! #30 blew me away...
/so/ well executed I thought it came from the freakin' studio, and man, is she
subtle when it comes to sentimentality. If this were a short, it'd be a
heartbreaker... but then again, I'm a sentimental fool. :)
She had a url but I just tried it and it don't work no more.

Ok... Admittedly my experience is limited, but I have enjoyed
enormously the art out of all the artists who'd drawn for SFA.
However I do want to mention one standout ....
Ted Vollmer. Had the pleasure of sitting with him at AAC and watching
him draw ... DEFINITELY one of my favorite things about AAC. This guy
is GOOD. (And Ted ... I know you're going to think I posted this just
to make you feel good, and I did post it to make you feel good but you
deserve to have it said because it also happens to be the TRUTH .. as
you also know ;) because I've told you many many times :) :).
