The History of My Art

So I'm trying to do this new thing to help me understand the art I love better. The idea is to start with someone who influences me today and learn about their style, what they do and how they do it. Once I've got all that down, I'm going to figure out who inspired that person and then do some research into that person/people/era. We will see how long I keep this one up.
