ITT: your favorite amateur, semi-pro, and/or "severely under-appreciated" artists from the digital age. This is not a thread for old dead masters or elite artistes embraced by "gallery establishment"; we've got plenty of those already. Rather, this is a place to rep, discuss, and spread awareness about less well known (but still utterly awesome) community-level artists, the sort who live and thrive in our wired world of blogs and Tweets, neither utilizing nor needing the pre-millennial analog "art world". If in doubt, ask yourself: would the NYT run an article about this guy? If the answer is "yes", he probably doesn't belong.

Here's a few to get us started:

Space Coyote
Ms Coyote is probably the greatest thing since sliced crunchy salmon rolls. SA goon, video game nrrrd, Futurama fan, this TARTlet is famous for her ultra-postmodern illustrations of things we all love (cartoon shows, video games) done in contemporary styles which re-contextualize, yet treat with respect and do not undermine, the source material.

Dan Lacey
Another sometimes-goon, perhaps best known for his surreal political-religious-pr0nographic webcomic, Faith Mouse, starring such memorable characters as The Pope and Timothy the Ex-Gay Bear. Dan has a habit of going off the deep end every so often, and the results are... well, see above. If there's any one artist I would like to be when I grow up, it'd be Mr Lacey.

Chris Chan
Think American Splendor told from Toby Radloff's perspective. If Toby Radloff was fatter, dorkier, less mature, and never had a job in his life. See his official thread for more info.

Jed Henry One hell of an awesome illustrator who is currently making e-waves with his woodcuts. Ukiyo-e woodcuts. Of Link and Star Fox.

Waita Uziga
Not really my favorite guro artist, but I'll mention him because he is, without a doubt, the most famous one. Almost single-handedly responsible for introducing us to the phrase "WTF, Japan?!" WARNING: I take no responsibility for your actions if you decide to Google him. Do not do so if you're a whinging muppet.

Handre de Jager
The "creepy Mario dude". Pics say it all.

This dude who serves lunch at my office building's cafeteria told me one day he'd be famous for his surrealist pop art. I had no idea what surrealist pop art would even look like, but he (Casey Bryan Doherty) told me his website, so now I know. And I think he's damn good, too.
I should also give a shout out to Kelly Tunstall, who let me use her paintings in my Sweetspring Island mod.

Nice finds! Is that... is that Mojo Jojo?

Katie Lisk
Don't know much about her, but I love her D&D monster pics.
