Influence Map

Well this is my influence map...i really wanted to put way more on there but i had to sort through the top important ones....

German Expressionism : film and art of this era has been an emotional driven influence for me.... i became consumed into the whole aspect, history, and imagination behind it. It has inspired me in writing and art....

Edgar Allen Poe: like love LOVE his poetry..... it's just simply amazing and dark....LOVE!!

Fantasy/ Dreams: okay who hasn't been inspired by this? seriously....

Charlie Chaplin: i love the whole silent film thing....therefore he was a GOD for that era..... before Talkies...there was Chaplin....he dominated comedy and revolutionized the industry

Antonio da Carregio : italian rennesance (sp?) artist...who i just fell in love with his creativity and imagination of how he brought his works to life. His use of color and light are elements i wish i could master like he did.
