Tim Biskup

Originally from California, Tim Biskup was raised on Disneyland, Rat Fink, badly dubbed Japanese Sci-Fi flicks, punk rock, skateboarding and underground comics - which all serve as touchstones for his manic and spontaneous style. In the mid-eighties he left Otis/Parsons School of Design to seek his fortune in the world of illustration. His career included designing for skateboard companies and record labels. His obsession with the art of Mary Blair led him to a career in animation. This career has involved him in countless cartoons, including his own short "Freddy Seymore's Amazing Life" for Nickelodeon and background supervisor for Cartoon Network's "Time Squad," and has launched a line of tee shirts and gift items under the GAMA-GO label.
The artist has a wonderful site with lots of fun illustrations.  Do check out the "Kaiju" section for his depictions of classic Japanese monsters.

Yoshitomo Nara is one of the most influential artists to emerge from Japan during the Pop art movement of the nineties. His paintings and sculpture of stylized cartoon children and animals evoke a range of memories from childhood memories. Since his debut U.S. exhibition at Blum & Poe Gallery he has had one-man shows at the Institut fur Moderne Kunst Nurnberg, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and the Yokohama Museum of Art. His work was recently included in "Super Flat" at the MOCA Gallery at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood and at PS1 Contemporary Art Center in New York. He continues to live and work in Japan.

Hajime Sorayama is world famous for an intense hyper illustrated style.
The art world focused attention on Sorayama´s brush painting technique (often mistaken for airbrush). 
Sorayama creates super realistic female pin ups and erotic art.
 The conceptual originality and futuristic visions of Sorayama transcends the erotic form 
and maintains a growing number of main stream admirers.
 The term "Sexy Robot" was coined to describe Sorayama´s renditions of  the female robot forms 
first created in 1979.
 The highly detailed art is featured in movies, books and  magazines.
