I LOVE the ducktales poster. And, yes Annie, it can be any artist, but try to post a few works of theirs so others can see them.
Andy Simmons is another artist whom I admire. His paintings are digital. I dab in a little digital painting myself.
Here is a few paintings by him showing different scenes from Terry Brook's orginal Sword of Shannara fantasy triology.
Allanon and Flick meet in the Duln Forest
--
City of Kern on the Mermidon River
--
The Hamlet of Leah
--
The Chosen enters the Garden of Life
--
Allanon returns to the Druid's Keep
--
The Pykon; an anicent elven refuge
--
The Elven Army enters Halay's Cut
--
Looking at Sprire's Breech
If I can; I highly recommend reading these triology of books the paintings were inspired by.

Wow, I really like the work by Mathew Reynolds. Does he have a website.
Yet, again; here is another artist I like. Jack Davis; he used to illustrate the old Tales From the Crypt EC comics, as well as Mad Magazine. I love the details in is pictures.
He done some album artwork, and even drew the packaging for the old Big League Chew bubblegum.

I like Petty. Heres an example of his work
This is from a calendar my Grandpa gave me from 1947. [EDIT: sorry about the angle of the picture. I rotated it in photobucket but I don't know why it's come out like this.]
The artist, who I only know as "Petty" from the informal signitures he scribed on his paintings, did alot of art focusing on half - dressed wemon on telephones.
I also have a compilment book of 12 of his drawings of the same nature dating back to 1938.

Also, Wednesday I visited to the Halley Ford Art Museum in Salem and got to see several original Andy Warhol "Camoflauge" paintings done just before he died.

here's another artist that I found not to long ago. He does some work for different things such as trading cards and book covers. I love his style.
His name is Ralph Horsley.

To me film is the greatest form of art, but I'm in terms of drawing, I've always been partial to Hergé.

I'm afraid I don't know how to post pictures, so I had to just provide the links. Besides the first picture, I couldn't find that many drawings, so I just provided the two best covers.

I'm a big fan of Hunter S. Thompson's writing so I naturally got into Ralph Steadman's work (he usually illustrated Thompson articles etc.)
It's trippy, unique, and often grotesque. I love it.

Since we're going with popular artists, I thought I would chime in with Hugo Pratt. Italian by birth, he spent a lot of time in France, Argentina, and London before succumbing to cancer in 1995.
In 2002 Canal+ created a series of animated features that most Americans have never heard of, and will never see. Thanks to the wonders of modern technology though, you can get a glimpse of the work here.
