    Dave Mckean . His last book blew me away with imagery and narrative.

    PJ Lynch . This guy made me want to become an illustrator.

    My favourite painting is from a woman in Dun Laoghaire. Its a small watercolour illustration. I love it because its the first (and only, so far) painting that i bought back when i was in school. I love its simplicity and the way elements of the illustration continue out of the painting onto the surrounding mount.

    Schiele's one of my favourites, too. Arguably the best draughtsman since Degas until his death. The best, and I think my favourite draughtsman after his death, is Alberto Giacometti. Check him out.

    Can't beat a good Rothko, though. And has anyone been into the Josef Beyus room in the Tate Modern? Yowsah.
