So here are a few of my inspirations and favorite artist. This is mostly for reference purposes. also I noticed that I look at all of these artist but i am not sure if any of these styles reflect in my art work (not really sure how to explain this). Anywhoop here we go

first i almost always go to when it comes to inking is the artist Takehiko Inoue. He is the artist for the well known manga Slam Dunk but he also does these massive ink wall paintings which are exhibited around the world in museums.

I really love his art work and i try to handle my inks according to his style

Another great artist is Derek Hess, a local Cleveland artist, whose art has been seen on many music posters.

I love the sketch like quality of his work and the water color washes are a nice touch.

Jim Lee has become a favorite over the past year due to the work he's done on the batman comics.
His penciling skills are spectacular and he is not to bad with a pen either.








Jeff Nishinaka is a paper sculpture artist. paper sculpture has become a hobby of mine and it is thanks to this guy.
