My Influence Map — Description
Blank Meme by fox-orian

1. Invader Zim: My signature style of drawing was originally trying to mimic the art of Jhonen Vasquez. And since it didn't it meant I had something unique of what I had made.

2. Johnny The Homicidal Maniac: Actually just anything by Jhonen Vasquez I was always highly influenced by. I love the dark visuals and character design. This is the comic I always turn to when I wanna draw a little more than I normally do.

3.Grojband: The first moment I saw this I thought it was really cool. I'll admit I was also shocked as to how similar it was to my ideas for my cartoon School of Punk Rock, which I've created 2 years earlier.

4. Fallout: Officially one of my most favorite video game franchises, Fallout has heavily influenced me be it the graphics, landscape, or the music.

5. The Simpsons: This TV show I've watched since middle school. Not much to say as I don't watch it as much, but I'm glad it still exists.

6. Rudimentary Peni: For those who don't know, Rudimentary Peni is a band that plays abstract punk music. The thing that holds it up is not only the music, but the very amazing album art done by the leader himself, Nick Blinko. Take a look if you have the time because it is very cool, even if you're not a fan of the music.

7. The Sex Pistols: One of the most legendary punk bands in the world. I am a guy that loves punk rock. Do we need anymore clarification?

8. Edgar Allan Poe: I do in fact read EAP in my spare time. Why not? He's the father of macabre, and I love the macabre.

9. Soul Eater: This was the first anime I ever watched and enjoyed. I used to hate the art, now I can't stop singing the theme to Rosario+Vampire (not really).

10. Nostalgia Critic: You think I'd leave this guy out? This guy not only influences ideas for me, but...he influences ideas for me.

11. AFI: The truth is this is my #1 tool for attempting to feel deep while drawing. It's also my favorite band in a tie with Social Distortion.

12. Marilyn Shine: Mary here is a little 9-year old girl created by nerdsman567 . Check out her fan club if you're really curious.

13. Elvis Presley: Actually any 50's music in particular (e.g. Chuck Berry, Ritchie Valens, Joe Bennet, Gene Vincent). I love the culture and music, and someday I will get an Elvis haircut. Just you wait.

14. Scott Pilgrim: This is a very amazing comic and movie. If you haven't seen or read it, check it out anytime you have the chance.

15. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: This show is just cute. I can't stop watching it without blushing with joy. The funny thing too is I decided to become a diehard fan before I even knew of the Brony fandom.

16. Ren and Stimpy: The gross-out and crude unappealing humor that is just stupid but smart comedy. There was a time I wanted to be this kind of cartoonist, that is until I unexpectedly made my characters the exact opposite of that.

17. Betty Boop: I am a huge fan of the classic vintage cartoons.

18. Star Wars: I've been a fan since the 7th grade. I love the world it creates that I wish to be more connected too. And for a guilty pleasure, I also like the prequels.

19. Coraline: The concept of a girl entering a completely different world just sounds fascinating that I am immediately hooked, even though I've never seen the Wizard of Oz in great detail.

20. Lenore the Cute Little Dead Girl: I got into this during my Jhonen Vasquez phase. And if you already know what I thought about that, you know what I think about this.

21. Friendzone: For a while, this particular event affected and influenced my drawings heavily. And surprisingly enough, I'm still not "entirely" over it (and I've finally found a girlfriend, for that matter).

22. Dracula: Ever since late elementary, I've been fascinated with vampires. Not that I'd like to become one (not completely anti, though), but It'd be amazing to live in a world where they exist. The idea of biting someone in the neck is actually pretty appealing in a psychotic sort of way. And of course, I've always known the book Dracula by Bram Stoker. One of these days I will get the classic movie.

23. Los Tigres del Norte: I am very in love with the Mexican music known as Band Norteño. Los Tigres del Norte, of course are one of the best, making me feel musically cultured yet still badass.

24. Brainwash: This brand of soda tastes like a horrid sour cherry flavor. I love it.

25. In-N-Out Burger: In my opinion the greatest fast food restaurant in the world. Eating it makes me feel American and Californian. It;s the greatest.

26. Salad Fingers: Even I didn't see this one coming. I guess the psychological creepiness and inner insanity was a heavy influence for my character Janie Crobere , along with the concept of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.

27. Mojave Desert: I love desert landscapes. Ever since I played Fallout: New Vegas, I've always wanted to live in the Mojave. I went to Vegas a year ago with a friend of mines. Best experience ever.

28. Cars from 1950's America: I love the designs. It's freaking awesome to look at. That there is a '57 Chevy. Owning a car with vintage fins is my official retirement plan.

29. Christian Faith: I'm a pretty religious person, even if I don't act like it. It just feels good to believe in something for me.

30. Dinosaurs: I've loved them since I was a kid. I love Jurassic Park. I love the Land Before Time. I love trips to the Natural History Museum. I love all that good stuff.
