Although his painting style is mostly realism, Linder experimented with a variety of painting styles and artistic movements through the years. Neo-expressionism, Pop art, Art deco style, and Abstraction are just some of the works he created. His inspiration came from the New York artists; Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Robert Rauschenberg, and the Los Angeles artists; Patrick Nagel, Lari Pittman, Kenny Scharf, as well as many others.
