Artists that inspire me

My biggest inspirations are Clive Barker, Nat Jones, Chet Zar, and Jim Lee. Barker, Jones, and Zar inspire me with their dark, imaginative horror and creature designs, while Jim Lee inspires me with his bold, dynamic comic art. Together they’ve shaped my style and how I approach my own work.
