My Influences

This is a list of people that have inspired my work from when I was very little to very recent. This list includes some people that I don't respect as a person nowadays because of their actions, but they still go on the list nonetheless due to how much they changed my style.

Note: The names that are in bold & italic are the people that have made a major, significant impact on my art style.
