Are you afraid others will think you stole someone else&#8217;s work? Much of these thoughts are brought about by imposter syndrome. Yes, I have talked about imposter syndrome and how to overcome its debilitating effects. But how can you ensure that no one can question your intent for the work you are creating. Today I am going to talk with you about how you can ensure that you are being influenced vs stealing ideas from others. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>I think it&#8217;s best to step back from that line and ask yourself some questions like what is your motivation, would your\u00a0work have existed if you had not experienced the original piece, and how much of myself have I really put into the work. If you cannot definitively answer these questions, don\u2019t sell the work or present it to the public, you may be causing yourself more trouble than it&#8217;s worth<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Articles on Stealing Vs Influence<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href='http:\/\/www.ciit.edu.ph\/art-plagiarism\/'>College of Art and Technology<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href='https:\/\/www.creativethinkinghub.com\/creative-thinking-and-stealing-like-an-artist\/'>Great Artists Steal by Jim Connelly<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href='https:\/\/www.creativethinkinghub.com\/creative-thinking-and-stealing-like-an-artist\/'>Inspiration Vs Imitation: How To Copy As An Artist<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Reach Out to Be Influenced<\/p>\n<p>To reach out to me, email <a href='mailto:timothy@createartpodcast.com'>timothy@createartpodcast.com<\/a> I would love to hear about your journey and what you are working on.
