Who are you impressed by?

Occasionally I'll find a piece of work or an artist that makes me take a step back in awe. Here are some examples;

S For Lisp- George Watsky.



This guy often amazes me. I know that poetry doesn't have the best of reputations, especially since the kind that we learn in school is often pretentious beyond belief. However, the above video contains one of my favourite poems. I would recommend looking into his songs/raps, poems and other works if you haven't already. NSFW at times.

We Think We Know You- Bo Burnham.



I like a lot of his songs, so it was hard to pick just one. His comedy is a little dark and insensitive, so you have been warned. Also, there's some offensive language. It's not for everyone, but I enjoy it.

Dear Evan Hansen Animatic Of The Song "Good For You"- Link Too.



I quite like Dear Evan Hansen, and many fans of the musical have made their own artwork and animations for it. This one in particular grabs my attention, I love the fluidity of the movement and the excellent use of perspective. I can only hope (and practice a lot) that I'll be this good at drawing some day.

Denis Istomin, who overcame a car accident to succeed as a professional tennis player

John Callahan, who despite being a paraplegic, found success and popularity as a cult cartoonist.

A biopic about him was released earlier this year called Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far On Foot.

I don't think this will come to anybody as a surprise, but Gillian Anderson, Jodie Whittaker, and Eve Myles- They are all talented, intelligent, and beautiful women who I admire a lot.

Mick Avory of The Kinks. He always remains gentle and logical no matter how far people push him. He's also very sensitive and thoughtful.

The iCarly star, Miranda Cosgrove. It's very hard to believe that someone who's been acting since the age of 3 had a good enough head on her shoulders & is responsible enough to take a break from acting to attend college & stick with it enough to graduate. This is a perfect example of why I fell madly in love with her
