First, I am a fine arts artist as well as a comic book artist... so the influences are different in each genre of art, but they do tend to overlap. Jacob Lawrence, Romare Bearden and Salvador Dali are my biggest contributors to my growth in the fine arts arena.
Their paintings and storytelling have inspired me for years. In fact, Dali was a big fan of comic books and predicted that they would received the celebrity status that they have now.

In the comic book world, I have Steve Ditko, creator of Spiderman
and Doctor Strange, Master of the Mystic Arts, to thank for my
early experience in storytelling, the bread and butter of being a
good artist, period. Next, up is Jack " King" Kirby noted for his
dynamic figures and in your face comic book action.
I do have other influences, but these are the main ones... and I am
still in admiration of them even unto this day. I can see why they
made comics so much fun back then.
Every artist has to love what he does and it shows in their work...
and hopefully people will see that spark in my own artistry as well.
