Since changing my project Idea, I've been looking for comic artists. A few I had know of (i.e., I knew their name) but had never really cared or needed to look at their work. Now, I find that comics are as varied and diverse as many other aspects of art.
First up would have to be Will Eisner, a cartoonist most known for his work on "The Spirit", and the fact that an Eisner is a type of award that comics people can win (Thanks, Wikipedia!). This link leads to the gallery part of his site, which shows his work.
Next Up, Scott Kurtz, who is well known in Web Comics, and has actually won an Eisner for "Best Digital Comic". His work often deals with game or geek culture, making it a bit obtuse to those who are not "in" on the joke. However, his work has progressed nicely over time, and I'm glad I finally took the time to look at it.
Last is Barry Windsor Smith, who I came upon purely by accident. I figured I should look for someone who's been in the biz a while, but is still alive (Scott Kurtz hasn't been in it that long, Will Eisner is gone). This guy is cool.
So there we go. :)

I've Really Sick
"Down in bed resting from getting up to shower" type of sick.
"Not working on anything" kind of sick.
Ugh.
