- These guys do an incredible job animating realistic hybrid creatures in real environments in such a way that it "blurs the line between what we perceive as real and impossible". You won't believe your eyes, that I can promise you.

 - I really dig some of this guy's techniques.  The effects in his videos have to be seen to be believed. His most famous work was doing videos for Aphex Twin (Windowlicker and Come to Daddy).

 - A musical inspiration. In his time he was controversial. Many artists and bands would not be here, much less be able to speak their mind freely if it wasn't for this man that died way before his time.

 - Michel Gondry.This director's style captures my imagination and fills me with wonder like when I was child. He inspires me to push through my economic limitations.

 - Patricia Piccinini. The amazing art Patricia Piccinini. Upon first finding her sculptures by accident, I had to do a series of double takes to fully understand what I had found. Science and art merge in bliss to create realistic wonder scenarios.  These sculptures are the closest we may come in a long while into discovering new complex life, but in turn are also a direct root to the subconscious of mother earth. Images are oddly disturbing because of their familiar nature, yet oddly comforting for the same reason.
