For the past few years I've found Gottfried Helnwein's work incredibly inspiring, and on this project it relates to my techniques and hopefully my outcome.
This is a link to his mixed media work on Canvas

He is one of the reasons I love to work with different materials, so combining both my painting and photography should be a challenging task.
His photography is ominous, pieces such as his Modern Sleep collection are slightly haunting : http://www.helnwein.com/werke/photo/tafel_1.html
(scroll to the bottom of the page to see the work that I've mentioned)
Helnweins drawings show his particular detail to anatomy, I have a strong interest in this also, I could happily draw skulls for hours. One of the reasons I love life drawing.

Some other interesting photography is that of Diane Arbus, personally I think it's the subject matter of these shots, rather than the techniques used, I like the grain on the photos. http://diane-arbus-photography.com/
