Because using photo reference is such an important part of being an artist (something I didn't know until I started learning from David - I always thought it was the artist's job to make stuff up from their head and the point was to not use photographs) many of my ideas are inspired by a good photo.

Dave (the writer for Reality Experiment) had been wanting to launch a webcomic for a while.He and I worked together for a time at Circuit City, and he had talked about his idea for a comic.He went through a few artists (who kept abruptly vanishing on him), and the idea kind of went flat eventually.
After a time, Dave, Patrick and I (all co-workers at that point) for some reason which I don't remember (though I think it had something to do with Final Fantasy XI) decided that there needed to be a video game night.

It helps that Dave is a very gifted writer with a talent for comedic timing.

My art teacher, David Burton, is also a great source of inspiration for me, and my little sister, whose stunning smile and truly amazing sense of the camera has been the subject of at least two drawings of mine, one of which is published alongside one of Zoe's stories. (I don't have the link right off-hand, but perhaps she'll be kind enough to post it in a comment.)
