Influences

An artist I follow on DA posted this on the site and urged people to list their influences. I had a lot of fun filling this in. The bigger squares are supposed to be your bigger influences






Boston- Growing up outside of Boston its hard not to list it as one of my biggest influences. I love the city. I love taking the train in and just kicking it in the city, hitting up Harvard square in Cambridge, My brothers band playing dive bars, watching the Bruins at the garden. I can't imagine ever living any place else.

Cowboy Bebop-I don't know what to say about bebop other then its my favorite anime of all time.

The films of Sam Peckinpah- I think I was influenced by sam's films before I even saw any of them. The wild Bunch, Alfredo Garcia, The getaway. His movies always start off with such a simple premise and its amazing to watch as it spirals into madness and bloodshed. The wild bunch ranks up there with my favorite westerns of all time along with others are huge influences on FW

Samurai- yep

LOST- I may not have enjoyed everything that they did or how they did it, But its hard not to give them credit when its do. The way that the writers handled the back stories of the characters and the arcs over the course of the series, really rounding them up and making them all feel real.

Ryan Ottley and Invincible- If I'm ever feeling the need for inspiration while at the drawing table A go to book is invincible, kirkman's writing with Ottley's art work makes For my money the best book being published today.

Chris Bachelo- I've loved his work for years. really inspiring.

The art of cory walker- One of the best artist working today, his blog and sketchbook are a go to for inspiration

sean murphy- I have three pages of his original art haning up in my room. Awe inspiring. sometimes I think he sold his soul at the crossroads for the ability to draw anything. His inking inspired my to pick up a brush and really give it a try.

Japan- Love Japan, I will get there someday.

Coheed and Cambria- My favorite Band. chances are if I'm working, Coheed is blaring out of some speakers somewhere.
