Some of the film directors that I find most inspiring. Do I love every one of their films...? Of course not, and some have directed a lot more favorites than others, but they all have a certain point of view and individual style that speaks strongly to me through their best work. MARTIN SCORSESE, FEDERICO FELLINI, DAVID LYNCH, TERRY GILLIAM, RIDLEY SCOTT, STANLEY KUBRICK, DAVID CRONENBERG and TIM BURTON

Website: TATTOO LIFE MAGAZINE  Happy Birthday to the legendary Ray Harryhausen. Aside from his incredible animation technique, his creature designs were beautifully conceived and sculpted with a wonderful sense of personality and character. His work has been and will always be a major inspiration. Born Raymond Frederick Harryhausen (June 29, 1920 – May 7, 2013) http://www.rayharryhausen.com/  MAD MAX: FURY ROAD. An amazing and inspiring film. Brilliantly imaginative and fresh. The “Mad Max” films of George Miller have always had a very big artistic influence on me, with their weather-beaten metal vehicles, outlandish characters and cobbled together aesthetic. This new movie contains all the crazy eccentricities of Miller’s vision, but on a massive scale. The art direction, cinematography and action choreography are dynamic and truly stunning. Every frame of this film is loaded with incredible detail and the performances are first rate....all the characters have a presence. I was cautiously optimistic about this new entry in the series, but I’m pleased to say that it exceeded my expectations in a big way.
