Look at how far you are going there Casey not wanting to copy fro the photograph! :-)<BR/><BR/>I get the same way Paula!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15449813797621330902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555538283837807387.post-30043317335630940702009-03-22T22:23:00.000-04:002009-03-22T22:23:00.000-04:00Thanks for this Nicole.

I read the Dome book, and liked it.<BR/><BR/>I always worry about my subconcious sneaking in something I've seen in the past, into my current work. I think everything is sort of derivative, and its hard to do something completely "new", no matter how hard you try. But outright copying ~ no way!Paula Pertilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02742881646337180321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555538283837807387.post-76807681738645205762009-03-21T10:57:00.000-04:002009-03-21T10:57:00.000-04:00I am in the throws of this, now.

I am drawing an illustration for an etching on a memorial stone, and using photographs from WW II for the raw data. <BR/><BR/>Some tricks I am using, since I am wanting to avoid the material that some unnamed army photographer created, are to utilize the information, but repose the figure with my wooden mannequin.<BR/><BR/>The funny thing is, the photos are probably open source by now, but the urge is strong to not copy someone else's work - even a govt. photographers!<BR/><BR/>Wasn't the whole Renaissance thing about being derivative of the classic era? Even today, different nations have different takes on authenticity - sometimes subtle and sometimes dramatic.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555538283837807387.post-64082330546447385722009-03-20T08:06:00.000-04:002009-03-20T08:06:00.000-04:00For me a creative person is not doing the same thi...For me a creative person is not doing the same thing as anyone else only better, they are doing something different, recognizable not describable.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps it is a heart thing. In your heart you know you borrowed some things added others and yet it took on a life of its own and it is yours. <BR/><BR/>The larger your body of knowledge the more you have to borrow from and the more you know you are borrowing. <BR/><BR/>Pretty much if you do not have angst about being original you probably are not.Michael Finleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06521545352788121660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555538283837807387.post-14071363264744911122009-03-20T00:26:00.000-04:002009-03-20T00:26:00.000-04:00Very interesting comment.Very interesting comment.Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975noreply@blogger.com
