Lots of specific threads out there on pieces, exhibitions, or artists, but couldn't find a general one (despite Josh's of the same name). Feel free to add any more subsequently.

Saw these fantastically detailed pieces from Brooklyn's Mu Pan, in which he puts traditional Japanese kaiju in the scenes of famous historical battles. More available on his website here. Small pics here, but I strongly urge you to check out the embiggened versions, so much extra stuff to see in each of them.

love the concept and detailing, not a huge fan of the rendering style though.

been working out at treasure island this week, studying the 250 foot naval history mural (designed by Lowell Nesbitt), when i could get a spare minute... http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/treasure-island-naval-history-mural

could use more kaiju, surely. :)

Just stumbled across this great Neronga artwork, which I think might be by 路じうら小僧, but I could mistaken. My terrible autotranslate seems to point to this being 'graffiti' from ten years back. Anyways, awesome.

Thought I'd resurrect this thread to post about this excellent new book in the mail (that a couple searches of the board turned up zilch on) :
