Description : : Did this cool little meme. I'm late to the party, but I'm here. New work coming very soon!!!

1. : : - No one draws the ladies like Mr. Campbell. His early work on Gen 13 is what made me start drawing in the first place.

2. Humberto Ramos - Older titles like "Out There" and "Crimson" stood out like a thumb to me in comparisons to other books out there. In a good way. His work was very influential to me when I was starting out and is still apparent in the things I do.

3. : : - A friend of mine introduced me to his work when I was a huge anime fan. His manga influenced style is still something I love even though I'm not that in to anime these days.

4. Frank Cho - Liberty Meadows was key in making me give the comic strip format a go, which in turn helped me improve my work. Also another great artist of females. Noticing a trend?

5. : : - Invincible is the best superhero comic there is! The writing is great, sure, but the art is amazing!!! A more recent influence that has made me take my own art in a different approach.

6. Jim Lee - Nuff said.

7. Masashi Kishimoto - Yeah, yeah, I like Naruto. Probably cause I was a Dragon Ball Z fan growing up, who's artist Akira Toriyama was a major influence to Kishimoto. Naruto itself was a major influence on the current project I'm working on.

8. Akira Toriyama - My Japanese Jim Lee.

9. Joe Mad - The guy has skills, what can I say? Been following him since his Uncanny X-Men days. Wish he did more comic work though...

10. : : Another more recent influence who's work (specifically his covers) have always inspired me to work harder.

11. Steve McNiven - The "Civil War" story line was my favorite comic event (in a day where there seems to be one every week) and McNiven's art made a great story even better!

12. Dean Yeagle - Such great pin-up work with such a great "classic" style to it. Look him up. NSFW though.
