I have a hard time putting my thoughts into something coherent on this subject. I imagine I'm fairly inconsistant as well. So wit that in mind.

That dead guy with the afro that painted happy little bushes always seemed to be on drugs, however I can not deny the end result is freakin amazing. He makes it look too damn easy.

I would love to slap whoever had the idea to spit food coloring through a straw onto a canvas and then sell it for 10 million.

Van Goght was a nutjob with a missing ear, but still fairly influencial.

M.C. Escher confuses my eyes and makes my brain hurt, but I can't get enough of his stuff.

As far as Daz and Poser go. I've heard the "playing with dolls" arguement. And I can somewhat agree with that. But I've also seen Bill Turner take the bare essentials and blow your mind. There is also that I've played with Daz a bit and then I look at what can happen if Colero or Winterhawk combines that with a few other programs. In that case, I don't care how many programs it took to get the end result. As long as it's pleasing to the eye.
