Inspired by Berin Kinsman’s Wall of Awesome, I’ve made my own. These are a few of the people and other entities who’ve inspired me artistically or had a major impact in my life. Some are role models and some are the opposite: they’re what I don’t want to be. Some, in their various aspects, are both. I’m a complicated guy, just like everyone else.
Disclaimer: Spatial relation does not imply hierarchy. The presence (or absence) of an individual does not imply value judgement. In short, don’t leap to any stupid conclusions.

Working under the gaze of this semi-august assembly is, in itself, inspiring. They remind me what I can accomplish if I ever persevere for more than two hours in a row.
Not included at time of publication: Don Herbert, Douglas Adams, WG Grace, Dracula, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page, Vladimir Suvorov, Lu Xun.
Who would you put on your wall?
I might tackle this after I’ve moved.
Good list… I think I would start with Samuel Clemens, Benjamin Franklin, and then go from there. We would definitely have Alice in common… Possibly Hepburn.
Nice wall. I few there I need to find room to add to mine.
