I thought this was a cool exercise to do
From [link]

1-Life is my biggest influence. The reason that it's clouds is because they inspire me the most. We live in such a beautiful world that God created for us! There's always something of beauty anywhere we go.

2-Digimon was really what inspired me to learn more about art. It's also what helped me learn about animation. I have scripts and comics from middle school too

3-Bill Peet- I read his autobiography over and over in elementary school. Every time my life comes to a crossroads I run into that book. I wish I could have met him, but I don't know what I would say. But he is a great example that where you will be happiest isn't always where you want to be at first. I'm thinking of doing my own illustrated books because of him.

4-Japan and woodblock prints- Ever since Pokemon came out Japan has been in my mind. It wasn't really until late high school and college that I grew to love the culture and other art styles (wood block prints especially). I hope to go there someday and just soak in the atmosphere that comes through even in pictures and movies.

5-Pok'emon- Wow, even after 10 years it's still around and I'm still drawing it. I have atleast one game from every generation and the games were more influential than the anime. Pok'emon cards were fun too, I especially like Atsuko Nishida's illustrations. I could always pick out those cards just by style.

6-Aria the Animation- This awesome show effected my art and my attitude. Find wonder in everything!

7-Avatar the Last Airbender- I had loved the idea of controlling elements since CardCaptors and Xiaolin Showdown. I also love watching karate action stuff like Jackie Chan Adventures. Combined with an epic storyline and animation .O. It was pretty inspiring!

8-Scott T Peterson- Probably deserves a way bigger section than he has. He was my figure drawing and animation teacher. He's the first person to actually show me how to do art. I loved his style was more than past teachers. He had a knack for actually helping me internalize thing and have them come out in my drawings! Thanks Scott!

9-Sonic the Hedgehog-He's been around since I can remember and after I discovered Silver I set out to master this style. While I don't think I could get a job doing any merchandise for the Sonic series, I do enjoy it and make a Sonic version of all of my good friends that appear in my journal

10-Katie (KTSHY)- Is AMAZING!!! Since I discovered Shrub Monkeys (her online comic) I've been a fan I love the extreme sillyness and how she pushes those facial expressions! I've been trying to incorporate pushing facial expressions in my drawing and it's been so fun! I alway looking at her work and you should look at it too!

11-Disney- I've been raised on Disney and loving it! My favorite films are Lilo and Stitch, Treasure Planet, Jungle Book, AristoCats, Meet the Robinsons, Lion King and Bolt.
Pixar is in here too, they're amazing and I wait in great anticipation for their new film goodness every year.

12-Studio Ghibli- I love the mix of real world and fantasy worlds that exude from every movie of theirs. I love it!

Animation, artists, far away places, life and God inspire my art and I love it!
