I love the texture your pages have and the different ink marks you use to create depth and shading. Do you have any artists that you are inspired by?

For this project I was inspired by Robert Crumb, Gilbert Shelton and a Danish underground artist called Claus Deleuran. But it was as much about the anarchistic approach to style and storytelling, as it was to drawing. The fact that I use greytones on some pages and just cross hatching on others for example, and that I try to draw the characters in new ways every time.
I do have a lot of artists that has inspired me, but I think that Jean Giraud/Moebius is one of the artists from whom I have learned most when it comes to hatching and textures. I am mainly inspired by the European tradition, but I did a small series here on Steemit about my American inspirations:
