There are many things I draw inspiration from. First and foremost I should mention my Mom, she's a constant source of love and inspiration to me. I couldn't be as successful as I am without her support and insistence that making websites really was a form of art. If you'd like to see some of the art she's created, visit her website, EileenWilks.com.
I wouldn't have the skills to do what I do with out Xena. Yup, that's right. The Warrior Princess is responsible for my graphic design skills. It was around 1997 when I put up my first (pathetic) attempt at a Xena website. I kept up with it until 2003 and watched it grow into a behemoth site hosting fan art contests, and almost 1 gig of information about the show. The site's still up on the web (visit The Warrior's Hut), but I abandoned updating it years ago. Still, I owe The Warrior's Hut and Xena many thanks for giving me the drive to learn web and graphic design on my own in my spare time. Battle on!
Below are some of the resources I use and that I owe thanks to for inspiring me day in and day out.
