Artistic Inspirations

Cow Wallpaper , 1966 by Andy Warhol
Andy Warhol has always been a huge inspiration of mine, I love how he could take common images and just by repetition and playing with the colors, he could produce something catchy and thought provoking. I love pop art and I also like the animated quality of some of his less popular drawings.
Ansel Adams
I’m not completely certain of the name of this piece but it caught my eye, I really like the simplicity of Ansel Adam’s photos, and how intriguing they are being common scenes in nature.


Salvador Dali "The Face Of Mae West"
I love the surrealist style Dali is so well known for, his creativity and perception and imagination are inspire me to think outside the box and look at things in a different way.

Denny Dent 'John Lennon'
I am inspired by music and so I love that Denny Dent makes speed paintings of musical artist that inspire me. I also love the colors and style of his pieces.

Joel Brodsky 
I really like these pictures of Jim Morrison and when I searched for the photographer I also found that he has taken many other pictures of Jim and The Doors. I really like how all the photos he takes are in black and white because there’s a lot of contrast and depth and dimension and it gives a lot of emotion to the image.


Tim Burton 
Although he is widely known as a director and for his strange, weird movies, Tim Burton actually went to the California Institute of the Arts and studied character animation, which is what I’m considering studying and he has always been a huge inspiration and influence to me.


Roy Lichtenstein
Roy Lichtenstein’s comic book like artwork has always inspired and intrigued me , they’re very bold and graphic and most of the colors in them are only primary, but they’re very bold and have a nice contrast.
