I looked at all these artists (boy, I'm glad I did that at home, and not at work, some of those pictures...) and now I'm curious... So why do these artists influence you? What draws you to them (other than the obvious, but that's a snide girl comment there and not to be taken seriously)? With Parkes work, I see a story, it captures my imagination, makes me want to continue the story. With Watterson (yes, Calvin and Hobbes) it's the play in the artwork between Calvin's real life drawn with such simple lines and often little detail, and Calvin's imaginary life, fuller, more detailed, elaborate. I love the contrast.
