[6/6 - 6/10] Inspiration │ Chris O'Niell
I chose Irish internet Flash animator Chris "Oney" O'Neill as one of my inspirations for this week. I chose Chris because he was one of the first animators I came to acknowledge, both as a Newgrounds animator and as an animator in general. I found Chris O'Neill from his cartoons on the entertainment and social media website Newgrounds.com with cartoons such as Leo and Satan and Dragonzball P. I immediately gained interest in his work and collaborations with other animators such as Zach "psychicpebbles" Hadel, creator of the web series Hellbenders, which O'Neill is a writer, and creator of the infamous Arrow to the Knee cartoon and the late Edd Gould, the creator of Eddsworld. Besides animating, Chris also produces music which uploads to his SoundCloud, he does run a music/tutorial YouTube channel under the name OneyMusic, but it's been inactive for a few months. And also, he runs a gaming channel titled OneyPlays but uploads aren't consistent. Besides all of that, he runs and is co-owner/member of the multi-media studio SleepyCabin, alongside Mick "Ricepirate" Lauer and Zach Hadel.

[5/30 - 6/3] Inspiration | Shigesato Itoi
Another person I wanted to talk about is Japanese copywriter, essayist, lyricist, game designer, and actor, Shigesato Itoi. More importantly, the reason why I want to mention him as one of my inspirations is because, outside of Japan, he is best known for creating the Earthbound series video games (known in Japan as Mother).
