I love all the art sites online. It's really easy to get lost looking at all the fabulous things, though, and not get around to working on anything of my own. (Doubly so knowing I'm unlikely to ever invest the time necessary to be really good.)
Figuring out where the lines are with art is hard. There's a lot of space for 'inspired by' or learning by trying to copy that may or may not be legitimate, and different artists have different limits on what they find acceptable for people to do with their art. Am I trespassing on meadowpoint's design with some of the pieces I've been toying with in ceramics?
And then someone grabs a pieces and mutates it into a meme...
Anxieties will pass, but it'd be nice to be able to fend them off before they arrive. I hope things feel more manageable for you soon.
