I discovered Mark Ryden, and one or two similar artists in this AskMe thread, and I really like the style. Who are some other artists in this genre (pop surrealism?) that I might also enjoy?
You should check out anyone at Sixspace: http://www.sixspace.com/
It'll be a nice jumping off point.

You should check out Juxtapose Magazine. Lots of artists are featured in there with a similar style.

Kirsten Anderson, the author of "Pop Surrealism", owns Roq la Rue - their archive is a good place to find a lot of this, too (like Ray Caesar and Lori Earley).

Kelly Vivanco. You can see her painted art (much of which I find more appealing that Ryden's, honestly) and comic strips at Hingos.com.

Try to redeem myself here...
Ken Wong's style varies a lot, but I think this "Alice Enters the Matrix" illustration is sick (as in awesome).

Check out Juxtapoz magazine as they cover a wide range of lowbrow and up and coming pop artists, and Ryden is featured there all the time... as well as the many artists who these days imitate him. If stuff like Ryden is what you want, you won't have a hard time finding it as there are many copy cats out there... some good, some bad.

Whoops... I missed the post above where someone already suggested Juxtapoz! But yeah, check it out.... it's heavy with artists "influenced" by Ryden.

Our own Mrs. Pants comes to mind: http://flickr.com/photos/featherbed/. Not sure if her work is officially categorized as "pop surrealism," but there are similarities: http://flickr.com/photos/featherbed/120445804/in/set-1126722/

She doesn't have the same artistic technique, but the same cute vs violence themes pop up in her work - Junko Mizuno!
