I've been thinking and talking with friends A LOT lately about inspiration vs. plagiarism in the mixed media art world. I think it's a touchy subject, especially where publishing and teaching are concerned. ...

Totally agree with everything she said. We pay a huge price to post our work online or to sell the directions on how to replicate it. People who profit from our knowledge kill our inner creativity and I personally am left with very little fight left in me. And because my work is very simple and easily replicated, I even wonder if I did it first ... See Moresometimes. I've given up, and after a year am just now starting to post online again! And what KILLS me, is that the biggest copiers were the ones emailing me the most... About when am I gonna post again! LOL!

I totally agree with what was said. Now I don't blog, but I do flickr and if I make something froma blog or someone else I give them credit. I don't take credit dor someone else work. People have to make money on their ideas, not someone elses.

Jen Osborn I stumbled across this today care of Carmen & Tonia ... I love it and wanted you to read it in hopes of understanding me a little bit more. While I did not miss as much school, I was constantly bored and finding creative ways to entertain myself until I could do something I wanted to do rather than had to:

I was very excited to be asked to write this piece for the Penguin blog because for years I have been working on a plot to infiltrate the system and inject it with my subversive ideas.
