after thinking about my last post, i’ve decided that it’s inevitable. if i am to continue to publicly display my work, then biting is bound to happen and i have to accept it. it’s wasted energy to be angry about it but there are times when you gotta put it out there. i know i’m not original either, but still – the things that come out of one’s mind and how it’s translated/interpreted into something visual, is pretty unique; even if the concept or theme is derived from somewhere it’s infused with personal taste & experience. for instance, if you click on the blogs of my artistic friends, you will see how amazing & talented each artist is; you recognize their style and know that it’s completely theirs. it’s backed by years of experience. the person who simply takes another person’s style is only fooling themselves.

so i’ve come to the conclusion that even though biters/copycats suck, i guess having them around is a good thing; competition forces us to change and evolve our art to a higher level.

bring it.
