I'd like to meet:
The future version of myself.
Music:
I grew up in a household that loved music and had tons of vinyl, subsequently I am a cd junkie. I paint to a lot of soundtracks, but what I really love is old rock.
60's: Beatles, Doors, Stones, Van Morrison, Hendrix, Zepplin, and The Who.
70's: Elton John, Wings, James Taylor, Eagles, and ELO.
80's: Duran Duran, Cure, Boston, Kansas, Police, and Dire Straits.
90's: U2, Sting, Sade, Garbage, Tori Amos, Brother Grimm, and Crowded House.
Now: Roi and The Secret People, Richard Ashcroft, Five for Fighting, Gorillaz, Keane, and Maroon 5.
Movies:
I'll list directors instead of films. Like other artists, writers, and musicians, their body of work speaks more as a whole: Spielberg, Lucas, Zemekis, Jim Henson, Coppola, Scorsesee, Luc Besson, Myazaki, Peter Jackson, Chris Columbus, Tim Burton, Walt Disney, Guillermo del Toro and, of course, the magnificent Mark Waters!

Television:
Nowadays I watch my TV at night. Some fav shows are: Entourage, Sopranos, Lost and Idol.
But I used to eagerly await Saturday morning with shows like: Land of the Lost, Wonderbug (anything by the Kroft Brothers), Herculoids, Banana Splits, and Bugs Bunny. Of course, there are some classics you can never forget like: Six Feet Under, Seinfeld, X-Files, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, and my fav of all time, The Muppet Show!

I read all kinds of books, from natural histories to Calvin & Hobbes. But here are some of my favorite children's authors: Lewis Carroll, A. A. Milne, The Bros. Grimm, Hans Anderson, Dr. Seuss, Jon Scieszka, Andrew Lang, Edward Gorey, Shel Silverstien, Kate DiCamillo and, of course, Holly Black:)
