Tillie Walden
While growing up, Walden read a lot of manga. From this, she gained a lot of major influence in her work, mainly on her artistic focus on line, more so than shape or color. The biggest manga artist that had an impact on her was Yoshihiro Togashi, creator of the manga "Hunter x Hunter". Additionally, in an interview, Walden has even said "Studio Ghibli has completely shaped my visual vocabulary and how I think about stories." Walden is said to have also been influenced by graphic memoirs, such as "Fun Home" by Alison Bechdel, "Blankets" by Craig Thompson and "Stitches" by David Small.
