The acid test!

THE BEGINNING!
I first received this and was given a research task, to look at other creative people and how they come up with solutions. This will provide me hopefully with a range of ideas that I can develop, try out and hopefully give me a choice.

'You are on the WRONG TRACK if you find an artist/designer/maker, write up a summary of their life, context and work, and then do a piece in the "in the style of".

Jim Jarmusch's Golden Rules
Nothing is original, steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, lights and shadows. Select only things to steal from, which speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don't bother concealing your thievery- celebrate it if you feel like it. 
In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said:
"It's not where you take things from- it's where you take them to."
