Description
So this has been floating around a bit, and I thought I'd give it a go
There's a lot missing, but I think this probably sums up the major categories in my influences; it was an interesting process too going through my collections of stuff and finding art that I not only liked but that I knew had a measurable impact on my own work; some of it less or more so these days than earlier, but that's all part of the fun.
EDIT: Added a couple more that I thought were too important to leave out
EDIT: Update again; I realised I was sort of cheating with Leyendecker, since I love him but as far as my work goes he's a lot more recent an influence, while GW were around since late primary school. SO their rightful place taken.

Could you provide a link to a gallery for bengal, because their blogspot doesn't seem to show much of the art that shows up in a google images search, as well as the thumbnail in your map.

I think he has a facebook page now too (under Bengal San) but I don't know if there's much different to the blog - his old Cafe Sale gallery is defunct now :[[[

I'm so sorry to bother you, but I've tried to get a hold of the original blank meme and I can't seem to. Do you have any idea of another place to get it?

Wow. I haven't seen Madureiros, Frazetta's, Gurney's, or Ruiz's art in a while. Guess I need to take another look around the block.
Oh, and good taste.

There's still a very small gallery at conceptart.org but it's not updated regularly or anything

Love that you have Paul Richards and James Gurney on there. Richards is a HUGE influence to me as well and his website is not only a wealth of information, but also a literal labyrinth of amazing art! Awesome.
