It’s impossible to imitate another artist’s point of view. We can only swim in the same waters. So feel free to copy the works that inspire you on the road to finding your own voice. It’s a time-tested tradition.
Rick Rubin • The Creative Act: A Way of Being
Artists: Do not kid yourself into pursuing the “new.” There is no “new.” All art comes from other art and many other sources. Make art in your own voice. Tell your own story.
Jerry Saltzx.com“When you’re being creative there is no such thing as a mistake.”
John Cleese * Creativity: A Short and Cheerful Guide

Rick Rubin • The Creative Act: A Way of Being
All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts…
William Shakespeare * ‘As You Like It’
