One of my favorites is Basquiat. He was one of the big artists in the 80 art boom. When my art teacher in high school show me his stuff and that bio pic and fell for it. His style kinda affected my own for a while.

With manga it's Ai Yazawa. I actually used her NANA manga as an example in class disscussion. It's not just because I'm a fan of ParaKiss and NANA but its so unique. Plus her fashion design is awesome as well. On more than one occassion I wanted to grab the outfits out of the page.

    Sho Fumimura is not the artist. Sho Fumimura is an alias for Buronson, the writer. The artist is Ryoichi Ikegami.

    CLAMP as a whole (I despise their ADHD paneling, but their art itself is nice)

    Im currently reading "Making Comics" by Scott McCloud and there is a whole lot more to comics than normal art.

    Care to elaborate before I comment on that

    Whereas in a single picture you make one set of decisions based on the scene and message you want to portray in comics you have to make decisions on a frame to frame basis as well as on the effect of each page and how your story works as a whole. You also have to think about movement, as in how actions progress from frame to frame and at what pace. A lot of the rest of it is just what you would get with normal art but increased as you have to do so repeatedly.

    How does this relate to my statement on CLAMP?

    Now imagine having to do all that with just one frame, thats traditional art, you have to tell a whole story with one frame, you don't get the luxury of introducing characters and setting the mood over the frames, set some tension, etc, you have to do it all in a single shot. The same goes for photography, some people think that it's just click click and done.

    ArtBoy is really a pinata?

    You know what. If I knew more of the artists in the Dada movement I'd add them to my list too. If you don't know what dadaism is I suggest looking it up or going to any exibit of it. They had an exibit at the National Gallery last year. It started a huge dada trend at school too.

    Don't listen to a word Scott McCloud says. He needs to shove his "infinite canvas" up his ass.

    Unfortunately, I don't have many artistic influences or role models.. Jhonen Vasquez and Patrick "Spaz" Spaziante are pretty much the only ones that come up. The former, I loved his shady, dark feel; the latter I loved how he made the Sonic characters 'pop' so much more, making his style unique.

    I guess I just don't remember names very well... Doesn't help that I'm picky in what I like - manga/anime styles, in my opinion, are 'entertainment' pure and simple; abstract is confusing and a little on the annoying side for me; realism tends to look a lot alike and the 'underwear perverts' style (aka American comics, specifically the older kinds) are ugly to me.

    Huh. I seem narrow minded. I guess I am.
