#1 Mike O'connor (My mentor, his long work hours and his art of skilled duplication of production is something I strive towards. He has worked under Parramore and other greats like Dave Willis)
#2 Roger Parramore (I took a weekend class at a friend's house and he blew my mind many times. He made a sick xmas ornament out of 14mm and gave it to me)
#3 Travis Weber (His marbles make me drool when I stare at them.)

Bob Snodgrass, because he had the perfect attitude towards glass tech. Freely teach as many as he could what he knew about fuming metals. Close to everyone I have met in this industry has a similar peaceful and helpful attitude and it rocks! TMP is all about spreading glass wisdom.
Misha - She has a big enough heart to run this place for all of us, year after year, and without Talk Glass, my entire life would probably have taken a different turn.
Mike Clark - Fuming really got me interested in glass enough to pursue it....and the exact moment that occurred was when i saw a particular Mike Clark Piece. His fume work is some of my favorite.
Suellen Fowler - her knowledge of glass, color, and color chemistry are amazing. Color chemistry is one of my biggest interests at the moment, and i would love to be mixing an entire palette of my own colors to use like she does.
eusheen, jason lee, cowboy
N3rd Glass- all the early encouragement and directing me to this site.
Mente56K- all around badass artist!
Punty- discflips like woah!
Eusheen, rose roads, salt
Sally Prasch
Jeremy Sinkus
Bob Harley Dawg
Three people with a beautiful outlook on life and each incredible flameworking artists in their own unique ways. It is impossible to come in contact with any of them and leave without wanting to become better.

Indeed bugz scrap tube...
This yellow piece is worn daily, broken weekly. Its been repaired over a dozen times.
just keep adding what's missing... Its built from Manny sections.
This piece still has no devit. That's inspiring after so many kiln cycles. *wink
I went from collecting old marble to making new ones because of Mark Mattews.
Going to a marble show and seeing Eddie Sees spectacular mibs.
Seeing Jeff Beetem capture the World in person.
All excellent picks!

Bob Snodgrass. The incredible work he was able to do mostly self taught is a huge inspiration.
The unnamed italian soft glass worker who made the giant compression marble paperweights my mom collected, they were my first experience with art glass and I spent a lot of time looking at them as a kid.
Our own Boro here on the forums. The donation of the torch and some glass to play with has gotten me to really jump in to this with both feet, and beyond that he has been lots of help with questions I've had getting started.
I missed the why part.., all inspire because they've put in the work/struggle necessary to succeed in this industry and create original, beautiful works of art
Revere - videos literally got me started glassblowing
Snic - electroforming is always an aspect of glass I wanted to get into
Punty - his free hand work is amazing, would love to aspire to that level some day!

corrine winters (corn) inspired me because of her shaping and general flow that exists in her wurk, her composition is exemplary.
bobby zysk (bob glass) one of the most important people in my lyfe, he sat me down and showed me how to make a pipe. bobby inspires me with his love and respect and understanding and willingness to share and learn.
shaun conroy (shaunroy) my very good friend and shop mate, shauns knowledge of glass is astounding and his friendship and tutelage has expanded my abilities well beyond explanation.
