Who's your favorite and why?

Poet: Charles Bukowski

I know he's like the hipster go to poet or something these days, but I remember how I found out about him. There was a poster in the bathroom of the flower shop I used to work at, advertising "Love is a Dog from Hell". I went and bought the book of poetry, and loved it. He wrote about being in poverty, and daily life of gambling, drinking and whore mongering. Each book of poetry he wrote has a different set of what they're about, usually related to the title of the book.

Artist: Mark Ryden website

I don't know what I like about him to be honest. For me it's a toss up between him and Dali, and since Salvador is dead, Mark wins the prize. His art is just....off. It's considered Naturalism, which I have no idea what that means, to me it's more surrealistic, but I am not an art critic. I want to get one(or more) of his pieces tattooed, just because I like tats(even though the ones I have are retarded, this will be my first serious one.
