eclectic taste (not to be confused with good taste) is the only thing you actually need to be a good artist. i don't care if you like the right things, i literally only care abt the multitude of experiences and practices you have ingested.

so many common anxieties about art just crumble when you finally step into the wild side and make consumption as much a part of your job as creation. "my art sucks" gain a taste for art that sucks and employ it with intent. "i don't have a style i can call my own" consume everything and deliberately pick the elements you like. "i'm afraid of accidentally plagiarizing" plagiarize a second thing at the same time and then its yours

You and every artist that has ever existed has been influenced by what came before. We are all borrowing from each other.

Remember: it is not stealing if you are inspired by it. Reference is not theft. Learning techniques from people you admire is not the same as copying them.

Art is wonderful because it is transformative.
