influence map

A fun little exercise that's been floating around the interwebs recently. Basically you chart out a map of people and things that have influenced you artistically so you can refer to it if you ever hit a wall or something. It's quite interesting to see what has influenced other artists..
1.flcl, 2.edy, 3.koji morimoto, 4.gil rimmer, 5.rodrigo perez castro, 6.paul felix, 7.justin cherry, 8.dbz

I may be missing a few major ones.. and the size-influence ratios are prolly off here and there but this pretty much covers it.

and here's a random sketch as it's been ages since any art has been posted here... I should probably invest in a new scanner.. or a new iPhone 4 that can take hdr photos..

yea flcl is pretty awesome. I'm not as crazy about it now, and there are quite a few flaws; but it was definitely a seminal experience for me.

New stuff comin!
