There have been so many artists who have inspired my work over the years and who continue to do so, but right now, those who recurringly dwell in my mind are these below. For me, the main ingredients of the examples I've shown are collage, composition, typeface, assemblage, narrative. Although my work is in no way similar to the work of these artists, they have inspired me with their essential concepts.
