Description Its not often I do this sort of thing but this looked useful and fun. You can find the template here [link]

Best give a little explaination of what's here.
Alphonse Mucha, one of the key artists and illustrators of the Art Nouveau period. I truly love his definition of form and unwittingly grew up with his art around.
Stone circles, wonderful ancient oddities that pepper the Brittish landscape.
Assembelage or collage using found objects. I have heaps of little trinkets that can help me spark an idea.
Andy Goldworthy is a Brittish sculptor who uses natural objects to create incredible works.
Scottish wildlife, in particular stags, are really something special to me.
Stephanie Pui-Mun Law's use of watercolour has been an inspiration for me since high school. [link]
Crystals of all sorts are scattered across my desk. From Quartz and Labradorite to Jade, they can help sometimes if I'm stuck.
Wood nymphs, faeries, nature sprites, all add a little something in my work.
Cernunnos, ancient deity of the hunt and forests. I love paganism and wicca.
Warcraft, not just the game itself but the lore, music, artists like Raneman and Samwise not to mention the Night Elves, a secretive race of forest protectors.
Forests themselves are almost magical.
Studio Ghibli has provided some wonderful movies.
Lauren K Cannon has a way with ethereal looking females. Her art is just beautiful. [link]
Both Disney movies and Greek art play a small role for my art.
Often I have music playing while I work. Currently artists like Jonsi, Florence and the Machine, Jami Sieber, Bjork and Fleet Foxes entertain and provide some inspiration.

On top of all this, a good few cups of tea and a copy of ImagineFX go a long way.

Well okay, that wasn't a little description. This list isn't finite.
