Talk:Sean C. Jackson

Description of Jackson's style and influences
I'm not immediately finding this information available in a source other than the introduction to Jackson's book. I thought I could include it framed as something Jackson has said in his published writing without presenting it as a fact. Since this was flagged as needing another source, I'm putting it here on the talk page to save it while I look for another source or sources that include the same information:

Jackson has named artist M. C. Escher as a significant influence on his style, which frequently incorporates surreal architecture and perspective-based optical illusions. He has also written that his experiences working construction, drawing in drafting classes, and drawing building plans influenced his style, as did painters Richard Diebenkorn, Susan Rothenberg, and Keith Haring, whose work he encountered while attending art school. He has also named comics artists Frank Miller, Bill Sienkiewicz, and the Hernandez brothers as inspirations. He has said that the visual environments he creates are influenced by his observations in cities he has lived in, including Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and New York.

 * , as a tertiary source, Wikipedia summarizes what reliable, independent sources say about a subject. What the subject has to say about himself is not of encyclopedic interest. You may find identifying and using primary sources helpful. Vexations (talk) 14:54, 25 October 2020 (UTC)


 * , OK, thanks for the clarification. I'll look for more secondary sources that can be classified as reliable and independent. Viridian teapot (talk) 16:44, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
