You've got no need for anyone elses' now, the ones you've done with your own are by far my favourites. Manwife (graphic designer, graphic artist, galleried artist, so you know he knows his shit) says this one's lovely as well- make a good t shirt.

Art and Design GCSE was all about other people's style, which started to breed arguments with my tutor after the first year and a bit as if you deviated from the style at all to explore your own you got bitched at.

# My GCSE art teacher was obsessed me with me copying Andy Warhol.
I did this then went back to doing my own thing.
Now she is satisfied, and it making me focus on trying to fit everything I do into the art course.
We were doing cubism at one point, but she told me to do Pop Art instead, so I just did lots of vectors for it.

# Mine was a bit.... kind of...undiagnosed brain tumour style mental.
She alternated between comparing me to Degas (DEGAS?! Er...no, lady) and saying there was no point in me doing art as I was so useless.

I'm not bad, I'm not great. I did these from memory: img.photobucket.com/albums/v34/bad_lady/draw.jpg

A half-blind art teacher. Brilliant.

# even at degree level
we looked at what established folk were up to and to a point emulated what they were doing, as you progress and become more confident and experienced although there will be an obvious influence in your work it soon becomes more your own. there really isn't much out there that hasn't at some point bindun already.

is rarely without influence or inspiration. What makes it special is the individual's take on it

# precisely
we're going to have to wait for yet more new technology to appear before we get anything truly original, even then it's going to be hard not be influenced by what has come before, almost impossible i'll wager unless a blind from birth artist suddenly regains his/her sight and within seconds of this miracle happening gets to work.

# I don't see the point in forcing kids to copy something when
they're showing an interest in their own style and exploring it, though.

But then that's just me, I'm not a trained teacher or anything. I just wonder what it would have been like if Kandisnky's teacher went 'What the fuck is that? Do it like Remrandt' etc.

Not for lack of talent (I'm not great, but I'm hardly shit), just because I never did any contextual research work. Basically, I just wanted to use up all their materials and do as I pleased.

# bad grade for doing as you pleased...
if you were happy, i'd say it was a fair trade.

i got an E in A Level Business Studies because I lost interest because we got through 4 different teachers in the space of 2 years, which isn't as good a trade-off, i feel.

you can't deny that you have never been inspired by anyone else tho.

# To be perfectly honest, this style I'm using isn't inspired by anything.
I discovered it by accident when doing a vexel of Mushroom.

But pretty much everything else has been influenced.

It was when I did a black and white vexel of Mushroom that I was bored, so I coloured it in.
I decided to colour it quite simply, because I wouldn't be bothered to do it any other way, and it just...worked.
