Anyone can copy Picasso. It takes a real artist to be herself.

I am very aware that this is the internet and inspiration is everywhere. I would actually argue that is the most beautiful thing about the internet. Information and inspiration at the click of a mouse from anywhere in the world....But when inspiration dilutes itself into nearly mark for mark compositional copying, one must question (and bring to attention) the very real distinction between inspired work and work that has been blatantly copied. Someone tried to steal my artistic identity today. Thought they were slick. I, as well as every other artist, have a responsibility to my work, my patrons, and myself, to ensure the integrity of my work is kept intact. No, you can't steal my voice. But I won't let you rip me and then take credit for it.
