I agree on the idea of building upon our predecessors and there's enough for everyone. Copying or imitating is one thing, but, copying for commercial purposes without the permission of artists is unethical. Give credit where credit is due. At the same time, the quote about "stop copying crap" rings true--there's an awful lot of mediocre stuff out there. Which leads to the problem of what constitutes substantial art: eye, hand, and heart as David Hockney put it. Nothing excuses poor craftsmanship in an artistic creation. And there exists a lot of "eye candy" that is simply that--the passion or a driving idea is missing.

So it's serendipity to come across the quotes on your blog. They've certainly put a different perspective on my research!Rhondanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-66354711376410017352012-05-06T20:23:12.428-07:002012-05-06T20:23:12.428-07:00I've loved those quotes and your ramblings abo...I've loved those quotes and your ramblings about creativity and originality.
