incorporates human form too, which can be really beautiful-but I leave off when it starts getting rough. Interesting that visionary art does venture into fantasy, sci fi and erotica a bit, all these genres overlap at some point --- like Frank Frazetta http://www.frankfrazetta.net/ Boris and Julie Vallejo http://www.imaginistix.com/ and Louis Royo http://www.luisroyofantasy.com/en/index.php?page=home --and so many others.

I used to buy art books like spectrum fantasy art--just for the cool stuff, but had to wade through increasing amounts of horror which is not my preferred genre.

I'm going to date myself and post my early favorite artists--this is the guy who started it all:

These artists caught my imagination when I was very young.
