My early artistic influences were from children’s books my mother gave me as a child, unfortunately I do not know the names of those artists. The first book I remember the artist name of was John Bauer, soon after it became Brian Froud, and then Tony DiTerlizzi.
Later on, I fell in love with the art of Norman Rockwell, Jill Barklem, Fritz Baumgarten. My recent artistic heroes, from the realm of digital art, are Vance Kovacs, Craig Elliott, Justin Gerard, and Matt Rhodes.
