This is something a little out of the ordinary for me. A quick water colour painting of Jules Verne for the Hey Oscar Wilde! It's Clobberin' Time blog [link] by Steven Gettis. I promised to do something for him for a long while and finally got around to doing it a little while ago.
Verne was probably the first ever writer that introduced me to fantastical storytelling as he was for so many others. His work probably planted the seeds to the route I took later in life.

He, H.G. Wells, and Mary Shelly are truly the creators of steampunk

A truly classic, one of the science-fiction fathers. Now anyone can call it an classic steampunk author. Now I would like to see more icon characters of the Verneverse (I think I've just created that word).

his stories where not just fantasy, not all of them at least, he actually was one of the first science fiction writers at that time and now look where we are, we can go around the world in just one day, we went to the moon, we travel to the depths of the ocean and keep exploring new things every day, and many of these things where based on his writings and future sci-fi writers who where inspired by him.

That's what I like about him too. By fantastical I don't mean fantasy but instead imaginative literature.
