Influence Map
by Bryan Fowler - September 2nd, 2010
These things have been making the rounds all over the online artist communities and I am being fashionably late. These are just the ones freshest in my mind as I am definetely forgetting at least 100-200 of my other biggest influences. It’s odd what influences me. Sometimes it’s only one painting an artist does that really strikes a chord in me. I’ll go search out the artist only to find I don’t really care for anything else they’ve done. The biggest things that draw my attention are brushstrokes, emotional impact, and color harmonies. Really good foundational drawing always perks me up too. There are a lot of guys and gals I like that I wish would never finish a piece because the beginning has so much more interest.
Anybody who can name all the squares will receive either 500 dollars (in monopoly money) or a free sketch, my choice.
