Influence Inspiration Impression
There are those who believe that there is nothing new, and that, in the art world, visual expression is simply regurgitation. I don't really agree. I think there are many stepping stones along the way to creating something new. We are influenced, inspired and impressed by many things we have seen and experienced.
The drawings I showed a couple of days ago were influenced and inspired by vintage (copyright free) engravings. There are many artists today whose work I admire but (for the record) I would never knowingly lift someone's ideas and pass them off as my own.
I love the large drawing; are those prickly pears in the background?
