Countless artists have greatly inspired my work through their words and pictures. Their influences often combine in surprising ways, with bits and pieces merging with half remembered daydreams, lending the work a fresh yet familiar quality.
A lot of amazing Spanish artists worked for Warren Publishing in the 1970's. I have a copy of Eerie #65 [see page on the right] and quite few other Warren Mags.

Richard Corben's individuality, strong draftsmanship, and amazing imagination combine to produce some highly original and entertaining work; he's definitely a favorite that set a high mark for scary and fantastic art.

Inspiration from Carpenter's macabre classic...awesome.
How creative people express what inspires them is not always predictable. Eddie VanHalen cites Eric Clapton as a major guitar influence. It must be true, but who'd ever guess?
