"What to copy is a little bit trickier. Don't just steal the style, steal the thinking behind the style."
– Austin Kleon
Creativity is often considered a valuable trait, and one that is sometimes difficult to come by. But what can sometimes be harder to do than creating something new? Copying something else in a way that adds your own twist and personality to it. Austin Kleon puts it best when he says "don't just steal the style, steal the thinking behind the style". Create something with your own identity that others have inspired. Imagine what could be if you take pieces of different things you admire, add your voice and vision, then use those new ideas and perspectives to dream up a greater impactful work. Believe in yourself as an artist, create with confidence and stand out from the crowd by inspiring possibilities rather than simply copying them.
