Everything belongs to the inspired and dedicated thief.... Words, colors, light, sounds, stone, wood, bronze belong to the living artist. They belong to anyone who can use them. Loot the Louvre! A bas l’originalité, the sterile and assertive ego that imprisons us as it creates. Vive le sol—pure, shameless, total. We are not responsible. Steal anything in sight." - William Burroughs Your post reminded me of one of my favorite quotes:

Even if someone doesn't think they're inspired by something, of course they are--whether that is another designer, artist, nature, etc. Inspiration is everywhere. Great post, Pia!

This has been the case for hundreds of years but always has to be repeated: art is all about evolution, you always borrow from the previous generation as well as your own. Well said!
