Daego Gravinese is an artist I started getting into a few years ago. His super-photo-realistic paintings are wonderful. He used to work over the top of them, and juxtapose images together (see No. 20 at the end of this post), but now has moved back to his original style of straight up
photo realism. I have posted these images up from his latest exhibition showing his process.

His website is currently under construction, but you can see more of his work (and his lovely girlfriend Panda on his flickr site:
