Odd question I know, but this is the only place I can expect a straight answer.
Does anyone recognize these and know the name of the artiest that painted these pictures?
http://www.ebaumsworld.com/tags/illustrations/
I found these on e-baulms world, and they didn't give the name or any kind of credit for the work (I hate that about them)
I'd love to find some full size images for my PCs wallpaper...
and do you know of any other art similar to this???
By the way, LOVE the spell-checker

I want to say Magritte, but I know that's not him. His stuff is usually more simplistic. Might want to search for artists who list him as an influence, though.

Vlad - I have to agree with you, upon a first look the artist that came to my mind was Magritte mixed with Dali and a litle bit of Escher thrown in there for good measure. Interesting Fantasy artist. I would think those three artists were definetly influences on Yerka... but Ottis, let us know if you find out.

Yes, Jacek Yerka, how did you find that so fast???
I did three or four image searches on Google but didn't come up with anything... 
I recently got Photoshop CS, and love fantasy art also. I used to do some oil painting and pencil sketching back in high school (the late stone age) Maybe we could start a fantasy art thread, if we just posted thumbnails and links it might not take up too much bandwidth, have to talk with Rob and Do about that one....

And I REALLY hate how they put their logo over the artists name...

Hehee... you know that original link you sent? Well, if you view the artwork all the way down to the bottom.... the piano piece? Instead of Steinway.... it says Yerka across the middle. Knowing artists are sneaky in their own way, I did a search on that and voila! The rest was history. (Call me the world's second greatest detective for the deduction work done on that one. Ha ha)

Agree. Not cool, honestly. Give proper credit where it's due!

You might want to check this out . It's Beksinski's official site. And below a few examples of his digital art.
Here's his biography (I couldn't find an English one when I browsed the site above).

(as for the Fantasy Art thread, good idea, but come to us with that a bit later, alright? and we'll see.)
