Alex Pardee is one of my favourite artists, his work never fails to keep me amused and interested, it affects my illustration greatly. I have his books which are constantly on my desk in reach if needed, I also have one of his prints framed which is helps me draw inspiration daily. His attention to detail is what I most admire, not only within his illustrations and other creations but when he creates a 'monster/creature' he gives it depth by giving them a back story, almost comic like.
Sandra Dieckmann's work is a combination of illustration and digital manipulation,the combination of both is very successful:


I tattoo so the art which stands out within the community inspires me greatly, the work of Rik Lee is fantastic:

(I plan to get this deer tattooed around Christmas time)
New school tattoo work is very interesting, such as Noon
(seen below)

Another is Xoil

I think these artists stand out to me because they are more than 'tattooing' they create a piece or art rather than a picture.
