Drawing Inspiration Without Crossing the Line

Artists have always drawn inspiration from the world around them. Whether it's the beauty of nature, the complexity of human emotions, or the works of other artists, our creative minds are constantly absorbing and processing information. However, in today's interconnected world, the lines between inspiration and imitation can become blurred, raising important questions about ethical borrowing in art. My wife gave me a box of cards for the holidays in 2022. I was puzzled because they were creativity cards and I thought, what the heck is this, I don't need them. Well, folks, I was wrong and I will attempt to do a card a week and record an episode about how I am utilizing the card I draw every week if you decide to pick up a deck and do these let me know.
