Reading Hark a Vagrant I found out about this thing Hark! A Vagrant - Meme - Influence Map and it got me thinking.
I'm no professional artist by far, but I've been drawing all my life... What are my main influences as an artist?
I found a template in Deviantart, and I'll probably fill it up soon, when I come up with some answers.

In the meantime, does any of you have a clear idea about what their influences are?
EDIT: Here's a small gallery of caricatures/cartoonizations of friends of mine avaliable on Facebook.

And here's my map. These are drawing styles that have influenced me. It doesn't include artists that I love and includes some art that I don't find all that interesting, but after thinking a lot about this, I find stuff from all around these cartoons in my drawings.

-Crayon Shin Chan -Italian Donald Duck comics -Dexter's lab
-Homestar Runner -Akira Toriyama (mostly "classic")-
