The entire text could use revision. If this is in regard to Utagawa Kuniyoshi's work, then it should be something like:
However, his artistic style continues to influence us today. We see the influence of Kuniyoshi's work today in museums, on the internet, on tv, and in the lobbies of buildings, and, especially, in the work of comic book artists and graphic novelists.
