Plagiarism in Art – An Artist’s Perspective

Published by

To help me shape this Pandora’s Box of a topic,  I have spoken at length to other artists and people who work with their own creative content.

Octopus sketch and oil painting.

Published by

A few doodles with pencil and paint! I have always wanted to paint and octopus so here are a few practices. I absolutely love marine life and have wanted to paint more eventually.

The colours and the motion make great subjects for art work!
