The artist in me would choose Da Vinci. As long as I can remember the depth of his abilities has astounded me. Philosophically it would have to be Socrates. Unparalleled in his conviction to what he believed is right. Musically Tool takes the cake. They are so unique and alien in their approach to music it takes on an organic quality all its own. Bill Hicks, an open mind not afraid to tell it like it is, with a good punchline. Adriana Lima or Monica Belluci, two of the most beautiful women on the planet. Mia Kirshner, Zoe Dashnell, Natalie Portman. I could just ramble on and on.
When it comes to the ladies? Im not picky but they must have a quality I find attractive. Whether looks, humor, confidence, elegant, legs, personality, a nice rack, Hey Im a guy. I believe attraction is a big part of the art of love. Next comes honesty, Theres not much sexier to me then a woman who is willing to stand strong despite consequences and be honest. She should be comfortable in her own skin and with me drawing her. If she couldnt stand me drawing her for the rest of my life then I couldnt be with her. After that, its all game.

Why tremble and weep now, whom stars once obey? Come forth to the deep now, and be not afraid... A diamond is burning. In the depths of the lone. Thy spirit is returning. May claim for its throne. In flame-fringed islands, its sorrow shall cease. Absorbed in the silence, and quenched in the peace. Come lay thy poor head on, my heart where it glows. With love ruby red on, thy heart for it woes. My power I surrender, to thee it is due. Come forth, for the splendor is waiting for you! - A.E. Irish Poet
