Well, there’s a saying I’ve heard floating around that I rather like. It is, “Every artist is a fan.” For every picture I draw, I look at a hundred more. I love analyzing other artists styles, seeing how they ink and shade, taking everything I can from their work and using it to build my own. While I’m sometimes inspired by animated shows and films, most of my own inspiration is drawn from other artists, veterans and up-and-comers alike. You don’t have to be Blotch to bring something new to the table.

Trying to build a list of all the artists that have inspired me throughout the years would be futile. There are simply too many. However, it would be rude of me not to give credit to some of my favorites. Miu, Tsampiko, Chevi, Shalonesk, Kayla-na, Challo, Scappo, Lintu, Dr Graveling, Dr Comet, Portzebie, Lapinstein, Nekostar, Atryl, Nancher, Jay Naylor, Yawg, Tom Fischback, Avante, Sirod, Tailsrulz, Purplekecleon, Slugbox, Ashiji, Phation, Moomanibe, Coyotek, Iopichio, John Joseco, Vaporotem, Bleedman, Tofu93, Amanda Payne and Darkdoomer… just to name a few.
