        The book is really funny too.

          I love Behance and Pintrest because it's very organized to store pictures and easy to search for good refs...

          I have my collections here:

                I'm really inspired by Lorena Alvarez, Joey Chou, and Britney Lee! Their styles are so colorful, and imaginative. They are so well trained that the liberties they take capture my attention and inspire me to be less rigid.

                  @Leontine Big fan of Loish! And who is this Wouter Tulp guy?? That image you posted of his really stood out to me. Gonna have to start referencing his stuff now.

                  @bharris Thanks for letting me know about these artists! Pretty much blown away by all their stuff.

                      I love some that you have said: Pascal Campion, Loish, Wouter Tulp
                      Also I love browsing theses artists' work (all very different styles!): Carter Goodrich is just brilliant, Carine Hinder, Eve Ventrue, Sam Toft. In a very different style, I love Birgitta Sif's style, it's so sweet. and the one who lead me to SVS, Will Terry is a big inspiration as I feel close to his style in the way I draw and paint

                        oh yeah, another one, even though to fully appreciate it, you need to speak French (she's hilarious)! but some of her illustrations speak for themselves and her art itself is very well mastered: Nathalie Jomard
                        she can be cartoony or very poetic. I mean, how cute is that? 🙂 https://www.facebook.com/103641416345805/photos/a.104015079641772.2656.103641416345805/985846264791978/?type=3&theater

                          I have many artists that inspire me but, honestly, how do you get any better than:

                          Sam Nielson

                          I mean: HOW!!???

                          This is pretty great too imo:

                          Just so many great artists out there. They are an inspiration but also kinda depressing to me if you know what I mean.

                          Someday....

                            I want to mention Michael Bedard. The sitting ducks series is awesome. 🙂

                              So many artists influence and encourage me. The two that spring to mind immediately are James Gurney and Terryl Witlach. I've followed their work since high school and both of them have encouraged and motivated me to improve over the years...hopefully a trend that continues! I also follow TONS of artists online via instagram, tumblr, deviatnart, etc...but it would take pages to list them all.

                                    The first one is from Sam Nielson, the second is from Silly Beast Illustration (I forget the artists name at the moment).

                                        I just discovered Marco Bucci. He loves to express himself with color. Watch his videos on youtube!

                                        Now I realized I defenitely saw that last picture in some SVS video, so its not such a discovery 🙂
