Awesome video, very inspiring. This is the first I see from this series of podcasts, I will certainly watch more of these. Like @Marshall Vandruff I really liked Mad Magazine in my 15-18 years, Don Martin, Sergio Aragones and Al Jaffee, very funny and interesting characters. Other art parents I would choose would be Moebius and Manara, I really like their way of drawing. Congratulations!

Oh my god! I've had a vague memory of a learn to draw book that I had as a very young child. I could not remember the author or title. For months I've been poking around in the attic and through old boxes trying to find it. For months I've been trying to find it with just my vague recollection. It was Jon Gnagy learn to draw! I recognized the cover immediately! THANK YOU!!!

Feeling called out on this episode as FRANK FRAZETTA is my favorite. And who is one of whom I want to adopt. Though I never really thought of it, I am influenced by Glen Keane, J. Scott Campbell, Michael Turner, to name a few.

WOW!!! I totally forgot about BLACKSAD!!! I was coming into this episode lost on where to start when it came to adopting "art parents" but Juan Díaz Canales and Juanjo Guarnido's style when working on that comic series really stands out to me a lot. I forgot if we were only supposed to adopt 2 art parents or multiple, but I understand the gist of it being to take bits and pieces from other artists like at a buffet and making your own thing. I also really enjoy Junji Ito's horrifying characters. I think he'd be my other art parent. :)

Art parents. I do enjoy Zdzisław Beksiński style but I'm studying in ink to start out so i've got several ink artists i'm exploring.

I enjoyed the podcast, thank you! My present Art Parent is Aaron Blaise, whom you introduced me to in a different video. I loved his ink w/ a dab of water color daily sketching journal, just wonderful way to capture daily life-
