For me: my main life influences are the fantasy genre, science fiction, western progressive politics, middle class mixed race parents, futurism, LOTR, ASOIAF, Memento, Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Matrix, DBZ, Hunter X Hunter, basketball, hip hop, punk rock, electronic music, toxic masculinity, history of the Roman Empire, Vedantism, Picasso, Mozart, drugs, cats, track & field, California coastline, USA food, Nigerian food, Chrono Trigger, Halo, and Nintendo. These things influence all my art, work, speech, desires, thoughts and activities. When I think back each one is part of an important milestone in my life. I have been obsessed with all of them to varying degrees. Each built upon the other over the years, until I became the international techno-futurist sports geek IT hippy that I am today. My YouTube feed confirms it :p
Life influences can be almost anything. Basically: What things/media/people/etc. made you into what you are?
