Inspirational Images - Not copyright free!

I spend a vast amount of time trawling the internet for images that inspire me so I thought I would share a few of the best that I find. As the title says these are not copyright free so don't be going doing anything naughty with them boys n girls!
I'm going to try to keep each post to a single artist or topic but this will probably fall by the wayside very quickly.
Oh and for those of you on face book theres a page that posts a few very good artists every few days:
Drawing Anatomy on Facebook

Guy Denning.

Some early work by the great Phil Hale

Dave McKean

Interesting stuff there, Atto, lots of lovely texture in those images.

And if you'll forgive me intruding into your thread and trampling on your toes then I'll post a couple of inspirational tumblrs for people afeard of facebook links.

Carbon Cradle.
Art For Adults.

Nothing to forgive Val. I thought I'd start this thread to share some artists that others might not be aware of. If you all can do the same then it'll be a much more interesting read.
Todays artist: Kent Williams

Excellent links Val thanks - thought these were particularly fine examples from both sites.
Artists unknown - no I couldn't be bothered to find out - sorry!

After seeing his Ed Sheeran portrait on the news the other day I've been enjoying looking through Colin Davidson's work.
Exactly the kind of style I wish I could do.

Those are excellent - Thanks Val. So expressive and dare I say it, raw I also love the way the portraits extend into the background space, echoes of highlights or colour that seem to suggest to me a time lapse and movement as if the sitter is constantly in flux, they've just arrived and are soon to depart producing a narrative of history and future.
Or am I starting to sound like an art teacher now?

Any way Michael Carson - love his use of colour in these.

I like the style, but some of the likenesses - Brad Pitt and Kenneth Branagh come immediately to mind - are pretty poor.
