Influences: Many different influences, other artists work altho the list is too huge to name them all, a few that come to mind, Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimpt, Kent Williams, Bill Sienkiewicz,Frank Frazetta, Justin Sweet, Cos Koniotis. Also a lot of the masters work that is dark and brooding in nature usually does it for me. Films, sometimes the more bizarre the better, music alternative, industrial, but not really limited to any one genre. I have always had an attraction to dark gothic imagery and that still seems to have it's evil clutch on me. :) Nature all around, a dark forest after a deep rainfall, dimly twilit perspectives, all senses and things in view or reach really.
Style: gritty realism is usually what I try to achieve but I like to explore diferent styles.
