Just got a call, a buddy has seen a piece on TV @ New Orleans Museum of Art (he thinks)that looks very much like mine. While he thinks that's great, I'm horrified. I went to great lenths to do something no one has done before but it seems someone else beat me to it. I can't find anything online about it but he knows my work well.

Seems everytime I have a good idea, it's been done before.

Did I ever mention I invented the six cycle engine....four years too late... :wall:



I know I shouldn't let this bother me but it does. Last thing I want is to look like I'm copying someone else.

Nope, Al beat me to that too.

You know, funny you should say; as I child of five (1974) I couldn't understand why no one made a TV had a keyboard so I could tell it what I wanted to see. There was a lot I wanted to learn about.

( true story)

so did you? learn something that is. :whistle:

Seriously, don't sweat it too much - if it was only about uniqueness there would only be one painting and one vase and one sculpture. Art is usually not about being unique (anyone remember those "3D pictures where it was just a pattern till you saw the picture emerge? That's not art, that's novelty)

Art is about helping people see something with new eyes. That's why Picasso's work hangs in the Louvre and mine doesn't and why the Maserati Birdcage fetches millions and the bi-turbo does not and for that matter why people remember my sermons and not Picasso's (he added humbly)

Keep working, keep striving, realize that unless you are an idiot savant your best work is not likely your first work and that, in fact, your best work will always be still in you.
 
When I was a kid, I used to Ice Skate.

One day while I was putting on my hocky skates,

I thought to my self, I should put rollers on these

so I can skate around the neighborhood.

Never did it, I wonder what would have become of that idea?

Rollerblades ya think?
 
Yeah JP but now I look like a copy cat instead of the guy who did it first. For all I know I am. I did the base almost two years ago. Still can't find anything on it.
