I have been thinking about this lately because at this point in my path as an artist I think that I'm being heavily influence by the work of other artists, specially Frannerd and this has created discomfort in my head.
I remember this happened to me a couple of years ago and I just couldn't continue working with my art anymore, I felt that I was just copying her and not creating something special and I felt that coming again, this scared me a lot. Have this happened to you?
This time I decided to do a little research in YouTube to see other's points of view and these are the videos that I found. Maybe you are going through the same and this could be very helpful for you:
(Video 2. Creativity is a remix | Kirby Ferguson)
(Video 3. In your lifetime you’ll never think an original idea | Thoughty2)
(Video 4. Nothing is 100% or 0% original | Whyt Manga)
Video 1: Nothing is original
Video 2: Even the greatest copy, including Steve Jobs and later they don't want to be copied.
Video 3: You can create something unique when this art passes through you way to perceive life.
Video 4: Nothing is original there is even a scale haha.
With lots of love,

It really hit me when I realized that Dylan "remixed" his songs by adding new words to old melodies. If he can do it, so can I :)
ReplyDeleteSo true! I don't know why I don't want to let go of the believe that "I have to create something unique and original, otherwise my work is not worthy" 😡annoying lol but "true" in my head 😬
