I cannot tell you how many times I have heard this and seen this on the internet. Being a curator as well as an artist I have come across this too many times! Many upcoming artists seem to think that it is just ok to copy other artists works and concepts. Although artists do not "own" concepts, among the artists community this is definitely not what artists do. Artists work very hard to come up with concepts that other artists are not doing. This is very difficult to do. So to have another artist think it is just ok to run with that artists concept hurts the artist and only makes that artist look bad to collectors and the artists community. It will surely ruin your reputation! Is that what you want? If they would look around and see all the beauty that God has created they should have no problem coming up with their own concepts. Open your eyes! Be your own person / artist. Paint from your heart. Artists are working even harder now in this economy to make a living. As far as I am concerned, copying another artist is "stealing"! Remember this....Do unto others as you would have them do to you!
If you are interested in being a member of DPIAG, please email admin and enclose your bog url for review. You DO NOT have to complete a paint a day. Daily Painting to us means artists that paint or work in the art business every day.
Daily Painters International Art Gallery is excited by the potential of the technology to involve the masses in a shared creative experience with artists.
This Blog is an online community and meeting ground for artists from all over the world needing a united web presence to showcase, market and sell their work.. For those of you who are new to Collecting art online, this is a wonderful resource for Viewing and purchasing art from artists who use imagination, talent, or skill to create works on a daily basis.
?My belief is that it is most important for an artist to develop an approach and philosophy about life - if he has developed this philosophy, he does not put paint on canvas, he puts himself on canvas.?
