Our failure to copy our heroes is where we discover where our own thing lives.
So: copy your heroes. Examine where you fall short. What’s in there that makes you different? That’s what you should amplify & transform into your own work.
In the end, imitating our heroes is not flattering them. Transforming their work into sthg of your own is how you flatter. Adding something to the world only you can add.

Make things, know thyself
If id waited to know who i was or what i was about before i started “being creative” well, id still be sitting around trying to figure myself out instead of making things. In my experience, it’s in the act of making things and doing our work that we figure out who we are.
