Nicely stated, Veronica.  Having been a professional artist/designer for
over 30 years, I view "artists" as 1) learning, 2) competant, 3)
accomplished, and 4) vulgar copycats.  I would rather view the simple
renderings of a new "artist" than the plagiarized, reworked offerings of
copycats, no matter how talented they may be at their craft.
