Every creative person can cite some other creative person whose work had a major influence on them. For me, it's
Chuck Jones' cartoons. But was he really as influential as I thought? I don't draw or time my animation like him. I don't steal art direction from
Maurice Noble nor animate like
Ben Washam. So really, they influenced my desire to get into the business, and I am certainly a fan, but my artistic influences came from other people, people I had not always recognized.
