i’ve been hesitating over posting this little ramble for a while, but here we go. not sure if this is controversial or not, so im just posting this on the social media i use the least and running away!
i have never thought myself an artist. i’ve always thought myself a fraud and a cheat. i hadn’t drawn or painted for about two years until recently, and all of these things are due to misconceptions i’ve always had around plagiarism in relation to drawing. i have never been proficient at generating images in my head and translating them onto paper, meaning that i’ve always relied on references to guide my hand. however, being an individual who tends to struggle with depth perception and spatial awareness in everyday life, the best way for me to be able to understand the dimensions and depth of my subjects is to observe other peoples’ depictions, whether that be rough sketches or finished projects. this allows me to properly understand shadows/proportions/dimensions, all that fun stuff, since it’s naturally made more obvious via pen/pencil/brush strokes in comparison to natural shadows/proportions/dimensions, which tends to blur easier through my eyes. others’ art has always been my biggest inspiration, and i’ve always been ashamed of that. i’ve never been able to differentiate plagiarism and the natural inspiration that comes from observing art, so for a long time i believed that when referencing another’s art to help understand my own, my ideas were never mine, merely stolen from someone else. i believe that the desire to be wholly ‘original’ has diluted the concept of plagiarism over time to the point where inspiration from others’ art qualifies as theft, when similarities undoubtedly begin to show. the most revolutionary yet inane discovery i have made as of late is this: there is no such thing as originality. what an unoriginal discovery, right? i now understand that the point of art is to inspire others. a reference is still a reference no matter the form it takes: real life subjects, photographs, others’ artistic interpretations… every single one is a valid form of inspiration and i’ll no longer berate myself for my natural inability to conjure images in my mind nor for my knack for understanding others’ pencil strokes better than in-person gradients. my drawings are still my own. others’ drawings are still their own. almost everyone uses references for their art to properly capture the essence of their subjects, and referring to another artists’ interpretation of something to better understand the direction you want to take is not a crime. now, i see… i consume art; i produce art; i am an artist.

i'm actually so pissed that i don't even know where to start..... i've been trying to ignore this for hours but i just can't ☹️
dear everyone on f1blr, i kindly ask you to take franco's name out of your mouth if you don't know him. do not talk about his story if you don't know it. do not call him a pay driver, do not compare him to drivers whose dads are the owners of an f1 team. do not talk shit about him if it's all going to be made-up rumors.
you may hate james vowles as much as you wish to, i don't give a fuck. williams are doing some real random and stupid shit. but is any of this franco's fault? no!! if you'd actually seen him and taken more than 5 minutes trying to learn about him, you'd see how sweet of a person he is and how much he deserves this opportunity, so don't go around spreading lies about it.
