  • I once worked for a small vehicle tracking company. Like tracking fleets. School buses, delivery trucks,… But one day I heard that a local police department was a customer of ours. I overheard this when the police chief was visiting. He wanted to know where his vehicles were, but weirdly he was super pointed about making sure we weren’t keeping any history. I immediately looked up the account (small company, devs had keys to the kingdom) to see what kind of history the police wanted to hide. Dozens of vehicles on the account but one quickly caught my eye: a vehicle without its sirens on was doing 125 MPH back and forth on some dirt roads just outside the city. That vehicle did this at least once a week.

    The RNC bus full of senators we tracked stopped outside of a strip club for 4 hours one year. Didn’t need history to watch that happen.

    You’re a good artist. What really caught my eye was exactly how spot on your duck drawing was to my non-professional eye.

    I hope you keep at it.

    EDIT: I just reread your comment. I don’t mean to make it sound like recreating other people’s art is the problem. Of course practice is important and existing stuff makes a comparison easier, I’m 100% in agreement with you. Please don’t stop. But i think it’s also easy for someone to have seen your art and assumed it was original. This is a place where showing off original work is accepted and “practice” doesn’t indicate originality one way or the other.
