Robin Rhode was the first artist that I really appreciated. I visited the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University when I was a little kid and his art drew me in. Obviously the sports themes were a big draw to me but I also appreciated the different style that he uses. His work is not what one would always consider as 'art'. In a different context, it should just be a fun experiment. In the context of an art gallery, it makes you look at the work differently. It was the first time I considered the boundaries of what art is and the start of a different way of viewing my own work.
I couldn't find a personal website but this should suffice:
