(as sidenote: Roman numerals are fun)
Jim Flora is one of the artists I found on my travels through the internets who inspired alot of the artists I already love (like Yaniger & Biskup). Jim Flora is SUPER old school (he was born in 1914! That's before ball point pens and microwaves people!) but all his stuff was SO animated and fun! He mostly made stuff for RCA Victor and Columbia Records (like album covers and stuff), but he also did some children's books and other things. After looking at his stuff I wonder what he would be doing today if he were still alive. hmmm. Probably making more awesome art I presume.... and turning almost 100. Wow that's old. He has a blog too (which is strange considering, like I mentioned, he's dead) it's pretty neat- you should probably check him out.
