 Nick Drake comes to mind 
 I'll look into his work 
 Singer songwriter who released three albums

 Gian Bernini 
 For inventing the baroque style 
 Whenever I hear the word art, it is impossible not to think of Van Gogh's Starry Night 
 Henry Lau has mad skills in so many musical areas. I automatically smile every time he picks up his violin though.  
 Probably Kanye 
 I miss the old Kanye 
 💯 
 He who is considered one of the fathers of Impressionism, Claude Monet
He spent his entire artistic life searching for light in the use of colour on canvas.
Unattainable.

 The Dead if my profile pic didn’t give it away 😁 
 Rembrandt  
 Kanye; Kids See Ghosts and pretty much everything prior is so good. 
 Alphonse Mucha

There's something about how he balances a grounded femininity with the ephemeral that I find incredibly striking.

 André Franquin, french comic artist,
because he made the best comic anti-hero! Gaston Lagaffe! 
And also because of his dark humour comic book 'les idées noires'

 Frank Zappa.
Genius musician, demanding best from the ones playing with him, while smart, entertaining and freedom loving person.
Also, and that's very important for me - he made fun of all of it. 
 
 Eddie Vedder 
 Favourites in music is silly if you ask me but it’s subjective so…. 
 Pink Floyd stands out to me. My favorite album is Pulse. The Pulse live versions of Wish You Were Here, Great Gig in the Sky, and Comfortably Numb never get old. 
 Grateful Dead
They pushed the envelope in everything they did including this wall of sound- wish bitcoin existed during their time, but oh well..

 Grant Green 
 David Choe. MF had GFY energy since day 1. 
 Novak Djokovic, incredible athlete, strong mind with integrity both on and off court. 
 Bruce Lee.

Extreme dedication and discipline. 
 I wanted to say Euripides, but William Shakespeare actually topped his box office numbers. 
  Martijn Doolaard - I love renaissance humans 
 
 Joachim Pastor was my best friend during the translation of Mastering the Lightning Network and I'll never get enough of it.  
 I know nothing about the best, but I’ve always enjoyed the painter Robert Williams.
