Description From left to right:

Glen Keane: The creator of Ariel, Rapunzel, Tarzan, Beast and many other fantastical Disney characters we all fell in love with. I adore his style and The Little Mermaid has been my inspiration since I was 4 years old. Check out a blog dedicated to his art here: [link]

Alphonse Mucha: The Art Nouveau Style is beautiful style I greatly admire, and Mucha is the star artist of this era.

Harry Potter: Books, movies, posters, fan fiction, fan art, merchandise, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter – it doesn’t matter, I love them all and all influence me greatly.

American Comics: I am not an avid reader, but I am a great fan of the styles used.

Photography: Any photography really, but I do like portraits a lot.

Leonardo da Vinci: Need I say more about this amazing artist? I think not, his works speak for themselves.

Sara Moon: I grew up with Sara Moon prints in the house. The one show cased here specifically. As a child I would lay on my mother’s bed and just stare at them, always dreaming that one day I would be good enough to draw like that.

Achen089: Her gorgeous works always leave me in awe and I have found myself adjusting my style slightly once in a while to replicate her feminine art.

Anime and Manga: I went through an anime and manga stage some years ago. I do still love manga, but not anime so much.

Traveling: So far I have been to The Netherlands (x2), Germany (x2), Belgium, Italy, France, Australia (Sydney), The United States of America (Orlando, Florida), and I have traveled through most of my country, South Africa. I want to see most of the world before I die.

Books: I read a lot. I enjoy reading youth literature a lot, especially anything containing the mythical. The books represented in this image are but a fraction of what I own, and it really helps to have your best friend working at a large publishing house. JK Rowling, Margaret Atwood and JRR Tolkien are my favourite authors.

Cartoon Shows: I love watching cartoon shows, especially ones with great adventures and struggles between good and evil. My favourites throughout my life are: Brakenjan, Remie, Moomin, Jem, Lucky Luke, Avatar: The Last Airbender, W.I.T.C.H., The Little Mermaid cartoon series, Ben 10, Kim Possible, etc.

Wow, I had no idea you were from South Africa! I would love to travel, too, but I've only been on a plane once...for an hour. ()^^

The longest I've sat on a plane was 12 hours, longest trip was 20 hours worth of flying in total. I was so buggered there after. LOL! Yup! I'm proudly South African.

Wow, I can't imagine flying for that long! I'm afraid to go over the ocean, honestly, but I wanna get out there and see the world, so I gotta kinda get over that, lol. That's great that you've traveled so much! Don't ever stop!

You stand more of chance of being run over by a car than a plane falling. LOL! That's how I see it. He he.

It's funny how "Tangled" hasn't even opened yet and already people are saying that they're influenced by it. Not making fun of anybody, I just think that that's funny for some reason.

I was specifially refering to Glen Keane's style, not so much Rapunzel. She is just the newest addition to his amazing character designs.

Well, I wasn't just talking about you. Other folks have done Rapunzel fanart too.

I like lizards. Iguanas are my favorite but chameleons are a close second.
