Pretty much I like funny stuff and that translates into my artwork. 

If it makes others laugh, giggle, chortle, blow spit bubbles or choke on a piece of candy, then I've done my job.

A few inspirations to get an idea where I'm coming from:

Barry Manilow
The Twilight Zone
Cat Stevens (but not the replacement, Yusaf)
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
Donna's operatic singing (unforgettable experience)
Godspell
Coffee (and seriously, what artist isn't?)
Our dog, Veruca (and her little prawn of a sidekick, Violet)
Strawberry milk
Serrano chili peppers
Most of the state of Indiana
Far Side comics
Qdoba
The freshman class of 1968 (of which I'm not a member)
Tilt-a-Whirls
The Simpsons
Sandwiches
Joel McHale on E!
Unedited Bugs Bunny cartoons
Salsa that melts most plastics
