Lifted Images by Moldy Marvin, I'll be the first to admit I use what ever tools are available, weather it be tracing paper, saral paper, my Lucygraf, opaque projector, or computer. I come from a commercial and scenic background. In both industries you learn to use the tools of the trade. I don't mass produce anything so to me it doesn't really matter if ya lift the stuff as long as it's good. Ya still have to have some kind talent to pull it off. Ya don't get detail when ya trace, that stuff comes on yer own. Inspiration translated to interpretation. Take for instance, If the guys that drew for Roth weren't inspired by Roth's ideas or style then we wouldn't have what we have today. I guess in a way we all lift from one thing or another. Anyway the way I see it the important thing is that you keep the pencil moving, keep the brush wet, practice and don't give up as long as it makes you happy. Just do it for yerself and if folks enjoy it too all the better. Look at the way Ed built his cars. He built them for himself no one else, he enjoyed it and his stuff is still the best after all these years. When you no longer enjoy what yer doin'; do something else that does. Thanx fer stoppin' bye, tha Moldy one
