Three "New To Me" Fantasy Artists That I Like

The other day somebody asked me where I work.  I told them that I work for a company called Cable Label Sheets.  They gave me a funny look and asked me what is that?  I explained to them that I work for a company that makes labels that stick on cables.  They asked me how could a guy who seemingly has such a boring job appreciate the fine details and beauty of fantasy art?  I though that was kind of a stupid question, kind of like asking somebody that works at a grocery store how can they like beautiful cars, or why is it their wife is so attractive?  What does one have to do with the other, nothing!

Yes, I have a "low excitement", job but who I am at work, and what I do on my off time are two separate things. At work I literally deal with sheets of little pieces of paper with adhesives on the back.  Off work I search out beautiful and fantastic images, always looking for the next greatest fantasy artist, or looking for art that just speaks to me and make me smile.

Recently I had the pleasure of finding three new artists that I just love.  Tell me what you think.

Brooke Gillette - It appears that Brooke Gillette's official website is at http://brookegillette.weebly.com/.  Brooke is Vietnamese and immigrated to the United States as a teenager.  She has a degree from the University of California and attended the Art Institute.

Jackson Tjota -Jackson is from Indonesia.  He maintains a Facebook page, and a display of selections of his work at http://tjota.deviantart.com/. 

B.c.N.y. - B.c.N.y., (don't ask me what that stands for), is an artist from Taiwan.  From the information given on DeviantArt he is 28 years old. 

When it comes to art everyone is an individual.  I think about what appeals to me about art. I would have to say "beauty", but as someone has once said beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  I think about the emotions that art I like brings out of me, emotions like happiness, and joy.  I don't think there is an emotion called "pretty", but I do believe it can be a feeling.

I do know that "dark" art is very disturbing.  Sometimes I wonder where that emotion comes from.  Art that I don't even want to look at gives me the chills.  Almost as if I want to look at anything else besides it.  I think all of these feeling with art comes from the definitions of attractive and not so attractive that society has placed up on us.  What really fascinates me is when I have an emotion that goes against a "norm:" of society.  Where does that come from?

Well, let me close here.  I will continue to search the web for fantasy artwork.  Whether or not you like the artist that I have mentioned to today, tell me what your feelings are about them.  I would love to hear that.
