Where am I from?
The image above answers more or less that question.
I say more or less because of the nature of my influences and my complicated relationship with art:
Starting from the fact that I grew up focusing on science and therefore missed out on a massive amount of influential inputs during my school years, during which any form of art was followed in my own time.
The biggest influence overall were obviously the wide arrange of games that I've experienced during the years but Hayao Miyazaki and his Studio Ghibli was probably one of the main influence regarding visual inspiration, with all of the amazingly detailed stories that are portrayed in his films.
Another major non-game-related influence should be attributed to Magic: the Gathering, by far the greatest trading card game and also staple of the genre, holding the record for widest played.
Not only it has a massive universe of it's own, documented through books and regular on-line updates, but it also contains some of the most beautifully crafted artworks.
Anastasia Ovchinnikova is part of the massive group of artist that have worked on the Magic artworks.

Some of the most prolific artists like Kev Walker, John Avon, Pete Venters and Christopher Moeller even have their own personal fan bases.
Aside from that the street hip hop culture also had a big influence starring artist such as Banksy, Shepard Fairy, Mr. Brainwash and others. There are many sources of information regarding the birth of street art but probably the most interesting as far as the story behind the recordings and the way the are edited together is Exit Through The Gift Shop.
