The inspiration for this image, and many to come in the future came from the manipulations of Christophe Huet, a managing director of Asile Retouching Studio. It is said that the greatest form of flattery is imitation. But to me, it goes beyond that. Though we may imitate, we can never quite recreate the original. Though strongly influenced by the work of another, something new is created, and over time an artist discovers their own personal style. Now keep in mind, I am not advocating blatantly stealing the work of another, but using it to foster novel thought. Accreditation should be given to any aspect of your creation that was garnered from the work of another.
