Victoria Francés, who mentions Froud as one of her ideals

(Some other of her favorites: Luis Royo, Alan Lee, Joseph Vargo, David Delamare, John Bolton)

Some say this is by Froud, others say it's by James C. Christensen...

This is a collaboration of Alan Lee and Brian Froud

Arthur Rackham comes to mind :-D

Braldt Bralds

I was first fascinated by his illustration for Cat Fantastic books. This one is my favorite.

Then I found the wonderful illustrations on Celestial Seasonings teas, and, sure, Braldt has done some work for them too. Here's White Pear Tea.

And here's "Table manners"... now, he doesn't only do cats, but he does cats so very, very well... and I love cats. :-)
But, look him up.
Here's his site and here's some pictures from Les Toil's flickr.

Femke Hiemstra

So fascinated by these paintings...
