The Palace Of Excess. William Blake: 28 Nov. 1757 - 12 Aug. 1827.
Mr. Beer N. Hockey recently reminded me where this quote comes from.
I used to be a commercial illustrator until my world went pear-shaped, and William Blake was an influence not least because of his rebellious tenacity and unassailable doggedness. Mervyn Peake was on that list too.
And Robert Crumb.
Originally a huge hit for Sister Sledge, this b-side just about sums up my life.
I need to stop already with all this free advertising.

That's a pretty good list of influences brother. I would claim Blake as my number one influence. People who know me get tired of hearing about him.
As far as writing goes, I would probably have to add Raymond Carver to the list of usual suspects. What he lacks in humour he makes up for in painfully halogen focus.
