Steal Like an Artist

steal like an artist

is it worth to steal?

yes

it all depends on what you need because in todays world everyone in struggling in someway of from

in all reality stealing is bad and there is serious consquences on doing so.

How to look at the world

ask your self the question

where do I get my ideas

where do I go to get insperation on ideasw

what makes my art unique and special

What does the quote " The only art I'll ever study is stuff that I can steal from."-David Bowie

it means to me that if you only study art then all you are going to do is steal the art that you have studied and find a way to make it yours

Nothing is orginal

why is that

artist that call something orgnial more and likely doen't know where it can from

it also states in the bible from Ecclesiastes 1:9 " there is nothing new under the sun.

it is also is undetected plagiarism according to William Ralph Inge

the genealogy of Ideas

quote that stood out to me

"we were kids without fathers... so we found our fathers on wax and on the streets and in history. We got to pick and choose the ancestors who would inspire the world we were going to make for ourselves." - Jay-Z

what does this mean to me?

it means that without our parents and our grandparents and so on and so forth we would not have been born and we could not inspire and make the world a better place if it wasn't for them

Garbage in, Garbage out

What does it mean

it means that what ever you put into your mind that is what you are going to show in your actions and choses. It is going to influnce you in ways you don't think you it is affecting you.

quote from Jim Jarmusch

"Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration of fuel your imagination. Devour old filma, new films, music books, paintings, photographs, poems. dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work ( and theft) will be authentic."

School yourself

if you are curious and have a question where is a place that you should look?

GOOGLE! It is the easiest way to find your answer or to come with a way better question.

" wether I went to school or not, I would always study." -RZA, what does this mean?

it means that even if you did or didn't go to school you should be studying even if its on something simple.

collect books even if you don't plan on reading them right away

according to John Walters he states" Nothing is more important than an unread library."

Save Your Thefts for Later

Mark Twain said "it is better to take what does not belong to you than to let it lie around neglected."

this means it is better to take opertunities rather then letting it go to waste and not taking it.
