    I have been working on my art lately to try my hand at cartooning.

    I was told to pick 4 artists as influences and I did and Now I need to learn from their work

    I decided that since I want to focus on cartooning, I should choose cartoonists.

    I chose first , Antonio Prohias, A cuban cartoonist famous for politcal cartoons but in America known for creating Spy vs Spy and other cartoons for MAD. His work had such a unique flair to it that it was amazing

    Second, Charles "Chas" addams, the creator of the addams family. His cartoons were so legendary both in boundary pushing and what they were able to do in just 1 panel.

    Third was initially dave Berg, whose style was simple but great slice of life humor that parodied normal life. However I also want to use Sergio Aragones as an influence as he ( a protege of Prohias) is one of the most prolific cartoonists around, in such a unique style.

    Fourth is Stephan pastis, whose work made me want to go into cartooning

    For editorial cartoonists, Canada has some amazing ones.
