I am most inspired by artists who approach their work with an incredibly strict and serious sense of purpose (ala Keiji Haino, Sun Ra, Albert Ayler etc), which is kind of strange since I tend to approach art from the complete opposite direction (whimsical and silly). Not to say I get some sort of ironic kick out of their intense personalities, it's just... inspiring!
Anyhow, to name drop further...
