i love….u anon

thank you sm!!!!!!! shes my favorite i still havent gone a day since reading bg 2000 where i havent thought about her

(anon clarified tht they meant inspired by) its gone through so many phases but through all of it you can kinda see just how much i take from the things i love. cartoons have always been an anchor in my life and as i get into things i take little pieces from them and end up with a frankensteins monster of all my favorite cartoons and comics and people

my style isnt shy at all on the stephen silver influence (i regularly go through his book “The Silver Way” whenever i feel like im falling back into bad habits) but genndy tartakovsky, lauren faust, basically the people making the cartoons i was watching were huge motivators

later on other artists like kelly ficarra, anne hero, and robert valley came heavy into play, along with all of my awesome artist friends. getting into comics has also had a huge impact on the art i make and the direction i want to head with my style.

i see something i think is cool and try to see if i can figure out the how and the why, and if i like it then it stays.

KNKL was also my crutch when i was younger and couldnt figure out how to learn and get better and was so frustrated that i couldnt draw as well as the people i admired, but this video really changed the way i go about taking inspiration. A lot of the older videos on the KNKL channel are so helpful, especially the KNKL thoughtfuls.

ill be honest i have no idea what the hell that guy is doing right now i just checked his channel and got scared. BUT THE OLD STUFF IS GOOD.

but yes i just see something that makes me go a little crazy and im like how can i do that and then i go crazy trying to figure it out and then i keep it 5ever

he/they ish really resonated with me just now it might as well be true
