Many of my image creations (not styles) purely came from motivation in creating bulletin board images which the backbone of all my creations are down to experimenting and perseverance. Starting out using free applications shortly migrating to mid range commercial software and ended in using the software I've been using for nearly 3 years which is photoshop.
my inspiration came from a lazy, sarcastic designer who I still look up to this day which he unknowningly has embedded the way I create my designs even to this day.
