Let the wide-eyed realization of "oh my God it makes no sense and yet it makes so much sense at the same time" begin!

I now give you the simplest explanation possible for each of these, because chances are this may not even be fully read, and I don't wanna waste your time, bros! I talk a lot.

Clothes and fashion
Because I like to draw multiple outfits. I have been doing this since very young, I could never make a character without attaching a wardrobe. Despite dressing like a dingy hermit most of the time myself, I'm actually very concerned with styling.

Dark Horse comics
They have some of my favorite characters and plotlines of all time.

Disney animation
I remember watching the opening to Beauty and the Beast in the theater and thinking "I have to be an artist."

Bruce Campbell
Enough said.

Molly Grue
When I was very very young, I rented The Last Unicorn for 8 consecutive video store trips and eerily identified with her tearful rage at the unicorn more than any four year old really should. I think few characters have had as big an impact on my sensibilities.

Pin-up Art
Like you needed to be told.

Grunge / 90's aesthetic
Hey bro, I like the 80's, but I got love for the 90's too. Specifically all those ripped up jeans and sneakers and strange-ass music. It was a good time to be alive!

X-Men
Man, do you remember the cartoon? Do you remember how cool they were when we were 9?? I have this poster hanging above my computer because I love the tiny insignificant addition of Mr. Sinister back there like "hey seriously I'm important guys look HANDS ON HIPS!" Additionally, going to see the first movie was the only time I cut school.

Don Bluth
There is something about the overall look of his work - the strong lines and simple shapes - that really really appeals to me. Overall I prefer it by far to Disney. It could also be that I love an underdog.

80's cartoons
I picked Jem for the big picture because I knew most of you would " I already knew dat dawg" but I would like to also direct you to my love of Thundercats, The Real Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Voltron, and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

Final Fantasy franchise
I specifically put IV (lovingly labeled as II on these American shores!) because it was the first one I played and proceeded to absolutely obsess forever over the characters. It also introduced me to Yoshitaka Amano and caused for a lot of copying outfits out of instruction manuals and growing to love dialogue more than any other specific writing tool.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
When you listen to as much Nick Cave as I do, you are bound to be a little inspired. He's so dark and romantic and terrible and innovative and sounds like he ate a bass guitar and washed it down with whiskey.

Ralph Bakshi's Wizards
"Fritz? Fritz, get up for God's sake, get up! ... THEY KILLED FRITZ! THEY KILLED FRITZ! Those lousy, stinkin' yellow fairies...!!"
