Description I don't have too much influences. I know about different artists, but not ALL of them influenced my work, just some of them, but as far I see, I need to study more people to learn even more.

Influences in order of importance in my work

R. Crumb. -His taste for music, the kind of drawings I would like to achive someday (Except for some of those dirty comics; those aren't of my taste) and I feel identified with him by some reason. Learned too much with him.

Otto Mesmer. -Felix the cat was the second cartoon I knew of after Warner Bros. cartoons. Awesome comics and great cartoons. I discovered here that if I ever work in animation, I would like to bring back silent cartoons with exciting hot jazzy music for a while.

Ed Benedict. -Gosh! Just look the charm of everything he does! A master

H. Kurtzman. -My truly inspiration and motivation since I discovered his "Hey Look!" comics. He experimented a lot with other styles and stories. That's why I tend to draw different as much as possible.

Pepo. -Another guy with extreme god given talent for drawing and for punchlines.

Carl Barks. -Dynamic stuff. Fun on each panel. A genius, better than W. Disney.

Hergé. -No words for him. Superb and... GAH! AWESOME!

Nicolas de Crécy

Toriyama. -I started to draw animé and then cartooning turned on my passion for drawing, also I liked the work he did, except Dragon Ball Z. The first artist that motivated me to draw.

Jean Claude Forest. -Have you seen his brush inking? God Damn

Dave McKean.

Jay Ward. -Rocky and Bullwinkle

Rogelio Naranjo. At a beginning, back in 2005, I used to draw political cartoons but then I realized that is very dangerous in a country like this one. Naranjo has a lots of guts to still doing it, and, just see his beautiful drawings

Magú. -Another political cartoonist. He's a genious, he can make a caricature of you with a very personal and distorted style but keeping you face totally identical. Hell yeah! Also I like his lines.

Jim Davis. -Yes, he influeced me, a lot and taught me a lot about drawing comic strips.

George Herriman. -I didn't knew that you could have that fun with comics changing the layout, writing bizarre jokes and gags. My hero

Chuck Jones. -I just envy his superpowers

Carlos Nine. -He's the guilty for giving me days of depressions and felling small. His body of work is astonishing and I tried to achive that kind of drawing, but is impossible for me.

Fontanarrosa. -Comic artist from Argentina. And one of the best. Inspired me to create Seth and Poncho.

Baseman.

E.C. Segar. -No words for him as well. Just marvelous.

Will Eisner. -The Spirit and his epic "picture writing". Thanks to this genious I'm drawing my own comics now.

Jacques Tardi. -More inspiration for Seth and Poncho.

Wobert Clampett. -He did the cartoons of cartoons, that's it.

All kinds of old music from United States, France and Mexico. -Always as backgroud music while drawing. When I feel demotivated, this generation of musicians are on my computer and records to cheer me up. God Bless that music forever.


-Luis

Increible, lo que aprende uno en los comentarios, no sabia eso de Condorito ni lo de Bugs Bunny. (Me gusta el concepto que tiene Boogie hacia los pobres)

I'm so glad there is some Hergé love out there... I don't think anything has had a greater impact on my sense of adventure than the stories of Tin Tin

Someone that thinks so! Right, I really found something interesting with Hergé when I read some of his stories. Definately an example to follow, and I only have one of Tin Tin's adeventures

I love all of these, but I'm stoked over the fact that you like that old music! I'm almost certain you've heard of it, but in case you haven't, I'd highly recommend "The Anthology of American Folk Music." It's a veritable GOLD MINE of folk, blues, country, and gospel from the late 20s to the early 30s or 40s.

WOW! puro artista clasiquísimo! Esres un auténtico nostálgico, hombre!
Me encantaron tus influencias!
No puedo creer que no agregaste al condorito actual, sino al PRIMER CONDORITO! También agregaste al PRIMER Popeye! ooorale!Veo que el Bugs Bunny es de los últimos que dibujó Chuck Jones cuando ya de viejo le fallaba el pulso. Yo mejor puse "Warner Cartoons" por que de ahí también admiro alos demás como Friz Freeleng y a Robert McKimson, pero no puedo poner los a todos.

¿El Pato Donald es un dibujo de alguna historieta o Karl Banks era un animador de Disney? eso sí no lo sé! Lo que sí sé es que a Walt Disney lo admiro más como visionario y empresario que como dibujante. Cualquiera de los animadores a quienes llamó a trabajar dibujaba mucho mejor que él. Y sin embargo el no se me deprimió ¿No crées que tenemos mucho que aprender de gente como Mr. Walt?

luismario In reply to JoniGodoy [2010-09-14 20:28:21 +0000 UTC]

Bastante, diría yo. No pertenesco a esta época, yo soy de los años 50, supongo

Oh, jajaja, sobre eso XD Al momento de googlear, ese COndorito fué el primero que salió y ni idea de que llegó a ser así. Me fascinó ese diseño que tuvo. Ah, sí, ese Popeye fue de los primeros que ví y por eso el detalle; aprendí mucho de esas historietas.

No se me ocurrió englobarlos a todos, muy cierto. Supongo que corregiré el detalle.

Es cierto, es que de hecho, viéndolo bien: Para qué deprimirse? Que no hacemos esto por diversión? Porque nos gusta? Y qué si no obtienes el mejor dibujo del mundo a la primera? Mejor no desperdiciar tiempo y seguir adelante
Mr. Walt era duro como piedra entonces XD

P.D. Carl Barks hizo básicamente TODOS los patos que conocemos -Scrooge McDuck, los tres sobrinos, etc.- y todos sugieron de la tira cómica que Donald protaginizaba

Muy buena lista, me gustó la inclusión de Nine y Fontanarrosa, jajaja. Benedict y Clampett son poco conocidos (generalmente cuando elogian a WB las flores van exclusivamente a Chuck Jones), pero son dos genios. Kricfalusi no entró?

Saludos!

luismario In reply to DiegoCuac [2010-09-14 04:18:43 +0000 UTC]

GRRRRACIAS! Nine: Caí en depre severa por ese tipo. Sólo mira la calidad de arte que hace, cosa que me impactó y me hizó sentir pequeñisimo. Quise imitarlo, sin victoria alguna. Fontanarrosa fué el cheer up que encontré y me enseñó mucho. Lo admiro, básicamente. Benedict, por Dios: tanto cariño que le tengo a su chamba; ya hasta ganas me dieron de dibujar parecidón ahorita mismo. Clampett, ni para qué hablo de él. ES LA ONDA.

Nop, Kricfalusi no va. Porqué? No fue mucha su influencia, nomás fué por un rato, muy pasajero. Igual me gustaría trabajar en animación con su forma de dirigir, pero creo que es todo.
Saludeichons!
