Artomatic 10 Favorites

In no particular order my Top Favorite Artomatic Artists that I hadn't heard of before:

Matty Burns - Danny: The Astronaut Deer series
Ellen Cornett - her Re-imagined Tales
Jeanette L. Herrera - just about everything!
Lisa Harkins - beautiful little collages
Patricia Hartnett - Doves series
Ben Nicholson - great work with no info. points off for that, Ben.
Frank Mancino - fabulous realist drawings (think Robert Assael) suffer from cheap framing (a pet peeve of mine having been a framer).
Heather Randell - great work in collage on canvas
Chris Bishop - Robots!
Jamea Richmond-Edwards - very good mixed-media portraits
Asad "ULTRA" Walker - Amazing what graffiti artists can do when they're not vandalising someone else's property
Christian Tribastone - an excellent draftsman. Art on recycled paper bags and cardboard boxes
Malcolm Blaisdell - dark, wacked out realism rules!
Rosina Teri Memolo - Photographs documenting the death of the corner store

I'll add more information next time - I'm terrible at self-promotion. But I do like googling myself, so maybe a website is in order. Thanks for putting me on your top 10!

I just saw this today and I thank you for adding me to your list! What a compliment :)
You can see more of my work at www.bluefacekiller.com
I quit my job last year to do this work full time. It has been quite a little journey. And I love it

@Ben: I, too, Google myself and have that having Multiple Personality Disorder has provided me with some entertaining links to myselves.

@Jeanette: The pleasure is mine / ours. My friend Phil "Philvis" Duarte says you rock and, for once, i can take him at his word.

Hi - I realize this is waaay late, but just wanted to drop a note thanking you for including me in your Artomatic Top 10 - much appreciated! (And the point is taken about the framing - trying to clean that up a little bit going forward.)

Thanks again,
Frank M.
