How to steal like an artist

some time ago,i read an article by Austin Kleon on 'How to Steal like An Artist'. of which i found from evie.s. read it here. So if you are running out of ideas, steal someone elses' ideas or someone that inspires you (not your enemy though) and make them yours. well, just remember to credit them though. its hard work you see. 

“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent.”—Jim Jarmusch
