“Imitation is about copying. Emulation is when imitation goes one step further, breaking through into your own thing.” - Austin Kleon, Steal Like an Artist

When you're a kid, copying is second nature. It's a harmless and innocent way to express yourself and develop some artistic skills.

When you get older, copying is no longer so innocent—especially when you pass someone else's work off as your own.

That's why, today, we're going to talk about riding waves, stealing waves, and making waves of your own.

There are ways to emulate without plagiarism. There are ways to put your own unique flavor on a style to stand out from the noise.

Don't die a copycat, be a different breed.
