You guys don't understand....
In history... there was only about 7 stories ever written that were completely original. All the rest since those have copied some element from them... the same goes for artwork. There isn't any room for originality anymore. And don't argue with me... don't even start. It's true. Say you paint a picture of your dog out of your own blood or something, I'm willing to bet that in some culture somewhere, someone once painted a picture of thier dog, or any old dog, in thier own blood. So no matter what you do, it can't be considered completely original. Look at all the famous artists and writers today... they say themselves, whether be it in a biography, or the dust jacket of one of thier books... that so-and-so inspired them. Inspiration is just taking one persons idea and adding some of your own ideas here and there so that it looks like a unique and original piece of work. Well it's not. You can be sure that the person they were inspired by took some ideas from other people, who took stuff from others and so on and so forth. And as you can probably see, this all boils down to those seven stories written way back when... the stories that inspired other stories, works of art, and ultimately, entire cultures.
So there, lay off of Pojo!
