Favorite Music	Rather than music, let's talk about the artists that inspire me. Boris Vallejo, Andrew Price, and Leonardo Da Vinci. I first came across Boris Vallejo's artwork in a Heavy Metal magazine. As a teen, it just blew my mind. And it still continues to blow my mind decades later. He captures fantasy in a splendidly alluring way. Truly, he's the artist that made me want to be an artist, while at the same time demolishing any hope that I could ever be an artist. Later I discovered Blender and Andrew Price, though I always thought of him as BlenderGuru. Ironically, despite his skill far exceeding mine, I'm not particularly interested in his art. His morals and his teaching are very much worthy of my respect and admiration. Andrew makes me want to be a better artist and a better human. Leonardo Da Vinci is of course one of the greats from the Renaissance. Again, it's not his art that truly inspired me. It's his forward thinking and ability to think outside the box. In his time, he was so dramatically different from the people around him, and if it hadn't been for his thinking and his designs, the world would not be what it is today.
