Tim Burton, his work has influenced me the most...he's a genius! Also, the artist Mark Ryden. His paintings are awesome. He did the cover of Stephen King's two part book Desperation and The Regulators. Check out his work at www.markryden.com to see what I'm talking about. And last but not least...Edward Gorey.
