You should look at……

I was thinking the other day, not that I normally don’t think and just sit around all day gazing at butterflies, but…..

When people see your work do they say:

“Ooh that looks like Roger Dodgers work, you should have a look at his stuff”.

I know this is intended as helpful and I’m sure looking at people who create similar work to you, gives you an insight into whether you are treading on toes (?), pushing ideas forward, or in this day an age gives you academic info gubbins to bolster your theories, reasoning and arts applications but….

… wouldn’t it be better to recommend looking at something different, maybe similar ideas but not ‘the same’, maybe other art forms that are similar…. something to thrive off and build new ideas rather than “Look at this guy he does the same as you”.
