| My creative & critical inspirations span farther and wider than the above! But these are some of the works that have most inspired and influenced me over the years. And let's not forget the X-Files, which I didn't catch onto right away but soon became my all times favorite series...and in my opinion one of the most important television events of the 1990s. Please have a look at the "Thanks!" link below; there are many who deserve acknowledgement. |
