ummm....well....I'm more of a "realist" mostly. I dabble in the "surreal" (Salvador Dali was awesome), but I'm not at all representative. Meaning what I draw or paint tends to look like what it is. The subject matter I deal with is mostly sci-fi/fantasy (medieval themes).

I looked over some of the artists on the site, some are good some are very good, but still some...I'd have to call it "Suckism"

At least it is more of a representational art form, is not trying to be pop or "clever", and woodcuts have a long tradition.

"Alternative" artists as pimped by Juxtapoz magazine are largely cartoonists, tattoo inkers, grafitti taggers, and graphic design artists (who make shirts, toys, and concert flyers). There is a place for cartooning the art world and museums but much of what Juxtapoz hypes is more geared for someone looking for a cool piece of tattoo flash art (I want THIS!).
