Praise for Copying

For a long time I have resisted and discouraged anyone from copying someone else's artwork.  Not only because it is illegal (if financially profiting without attributation) but because I thought it inhibited creativity. That it stalled imagination, made it 'safe' to draw acceptable art that drew praise.

...and please follow Suzanne's link to see astonishingly affordable art on her website?  You won't be disappointed.

"Talking to yourself can be useful. And writing means being overheard."
--Zadie Smith--

ahh...but as Thomas Mann said,

"Speech is civilization itself.
The word, even the most contradictory word, preserves contact
-- it is silence which isolates.
