How did I forget THIS influence!
(Sidenote: need to rebuy the dinotopia books...)
15. Ken Sugimori
More reasons that I adore watercolors!
13. Tim Jacobus
Warped my 9 year old brain on this mans art.
11. Frank Frazetta
The king of starting late and loving your wife.
8. Beatrix Potter
Another source of quiet storytelling and watercolors!
2. Hayao Miyazaki
Probably the reason why I enjoy silence in my storytelling. Definitely the reason I took up watercolors.
Basically, the story combines my appreciation of dinosaurs and ladies with swords fighting colonialism for the sake of nature.
