MY THREE FAVORITE PAINTERS, AND HOW THEY INFLUENCED MY WORK.

every artist alive must have a trinity of painters that inspire them, it can be two or one, but, here's my advice to any artist, illustrator or similar, find your shamanic painter, the one that shows you where you wanna go as an artist.
there it is. something completely different, not a movie review, or a rant about a bad anime series. just me....talking about me. hey, it's my gallery, i am practically forced to so some self promotion every now and then :)
