What influences you?

I came across a blog that had a picture called an "influence map." When I read the blurb about it I noticed that it was a poster made for artists to add images of their artistic influences too, to remind us of why we do what we do. Well I was just tickled pink about it, and during the weekend I made one for myself. This is the site where you can get the PDF file to do your own influence map!

I highly suggest it! And whether you are a painter, writer, musician, or even just creative, DO IT! It's just refreshing to relive all your past and present influences and inspiration! :-)

Enjoy!

  6. Hehe! Yes Lena, Mr. Dressup was my first art instructor. I used to get SOO happy when he would sit at that drawing board and doodle during his shows. He was an incredible man for sure.

    I look forward to see your Influence Map Nadia! Thanks! :-D

    Hahaha! Yes Chris, Robotech was my first anime growing up (Or wait... does Astroboy count too? lol) My older brothers and I would watch it all the time. It's just a fantastic series. Glad you came to see my map, and thanks again for posting. :-)
