Books:All books Victorian and Death related. Charles Dickens, Christine Quigley, Joel-Peter Witkin, Henry Miller, Poe, Mark Twain, Emily Dickinson, Graveyard Poets, Byron, Shelley, Keats, Sylvia Plath, William S. Burroughs, Jesse Bernstein, Wilum Pugmire.My Inspirations: Edward Gorey, R. Crumb, Thomas Nast, William Hogarth, J.J. Grandville, John Tenniel, Thomas Rowlandson, James Gillray, Wassily Kandinsky, B. Kliban, School of Bauhaus, Max Ernst, Paul Klee, Eustace-Hyacinthe Langlois, Goya, Posada, Joseph Keppler, Félix Nadar, Diane Arbus, the Dadaist, Surrealist and Situationist. I am inspired by anyone who hand-draws illustrations using real pen-and-ink and hand-cutting and pasting collage without the use of a computer. Old School all the way. Also, I absolutely despise anything that is digital printing and the very pretentious Giclee. "Giclee" (zhee-clay) is basically digital printing. I am a purist and use only offset printing or screen-printing for all my posters. |
