Painting and drawing, artists... oh so many artists, 1900's - 1930's culture, Anais Nin, Henry Miller, deer, kitschy-cuteness that hurts one's teeth, gallery work, japanese culture, old-time children's illustrations, femme fatales, asorted strange costuming and fashion... the list could go on and on and on...But mostly, painting... drawing... yep
Little loverlies. And fellow artists... And anyone else I may run into.
Goldfrapp, Siguros, Slim Whitman, Brazillian Girls, Bjork, Tom Waits, Deerhoof, 16 Horsepower, Lightning Hopkins, Jucifer, Pelican, anything Old-timey, Munly, Boris, lordy - there's so much more.... I likes the musics.
Princess Monanoke, Kamikazie Girls, City of Lost Children, Henry & June, Amelie, Steam Boy, The Professional, Dangerous Liasons, Mary Riely, Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus,...
Anything written by Miller or Nin, extremly old books with illustrations, Taschen's magical collection of imagery books about all sorts of things - they are my favorite for reference and are always fun to look through. I am a giant book whore.
A sleu of artists that inspire me to take my craft to a higher plane... and historical ecentrics that have made the everyday into a dream and the vivid colors that haunt them at night into real magic.
