Folks have been asking me for years, "who is your favorite (living) artist?" Well, it's very hard to narrow them down but here are the ones that would top the list. Since I am a book artist and book collector, I have linked and posted the artists' books as much as possible (please note, that, unfortunately, not all of the artists here have published books.) I hope that this sends you down the rabbit hole and gets you inspired as much as they inspire me.

I will also post a list of my favorite deceased artists very soon.

I'd love to hear who your favorite artists are and who you think is missing from my list.
