Eye Candy/Mind Candy

I'm a fan of many artists. I appreciate art for its aesthetic value, the way it makes me think, for my own inspiration and the sheer talent that's involved in creating it.
I often look at specific artistic periods/themes etc to find more art I can admire.
Here's a small selection of the current artists that I'm appreciating and that inspire me, along with some of their fine, beautiful and intriguing work. Eye candy and mind candy.

I am now sufficiently inspired to go and finish my melting pepper piece. If I could be half as talented as any of these artists, I would be eternally grateful.
