Blair's heavily crosshatched drawings and dark storytelling are influenced by Edward Gorey[11][12] and The New York Times referred to his work on The Hunting Accident as being drawn with "a graphomaniacal fervor".[13]

His illustrations have appeared in print and online magazines[14] and have been used for commercial art such as t-shirt and tote bag designs.[15]
