Not talking about music obviously, talking about regular artists. As you may know, I'm very interested in animation and have a few artists I love and draw inspiration to.
I get a kick out of Jorge R. Gutierrez (known for El Tigre and The Book of Life), Chuck Jones (Looney Tunes and did my favorite Tom and Jerry era), Zach Bellissimo (storyboard artist on Cartoon Network shows such as the upcoming Victor and Valentino, also did work on Teen Titans Go and Rick and Morty, also got an upcoming project called Long Gone Gulch which I'm hyped for!), C.H. Greenblatt (Harvey Beaks and Chowder), Tara Billinger (Mickey Mouse 2013 and also co-creator of the project Long Gone Gulch like Zach) and Megan Ann Boyd (storyboard artist for various recent Nickelodeon and Warner Bros. projects). They all have really neat art styles that I love a lot!!
My favorite artist would have to be Karl Hadrika, ever since I discovered him this year. He worked on Bunnicula during season one (love that show) and also did storyboard work on SpongeBob recently (sadly he left in April but I'm happy he got to work on the show for a bit!). I've sent him an email in the past for drawing tips and he's one of the nicest cartoonists I've met! He's also made a couple projects himself such as the pilot Becky Prim and the short Roadkill Redemption (which are both fantastic!). He also does a lot of random art pieces on social media which are all fantastic and well drawn! I'm amazed to see someone in the industry which as much talent as him and hope he gets his own project greenlit one day.
So yeah, who are your favorite artists? (from all sorts of media, not music though lol)
God I suck at making topics without coming off as cringe XD
