"Zentangle? This is amazing..." Leo B.

Zentangle? This is amazing, low life. What others say on IP subject:
--If you plagiarize others' techniques, you steel their emotions and tell your spectators a lie with your work. Works as such equal zero. Wu Guan-Zhong
--It's a shallow victory to bask in another's battle. Dorenda Crager Watson
--Stealing ideas from contemporaries is rude and tasteless. Stealing from the long dead is considered literary and admirable. The same is true of grave-robbing. Loot your local cemetery and find yourself mired in social awkwardness. But unearth the tomb of an ancient king and you can feel free to pop off his toe rings. You'll probably end up on a book tour, or bagging an honorary degree or two.  N.D. Wilson
--Gathering your own reference materials, sketches and using your own imagination is going to help you grow as an artist far more than stealing someone else's work. Bonnie Hamlin
--Plagiarize, plagiarize, / Let no man's work evade your eyes, / Remember why the good Lord made your eyes, / Don't shade your eyes, / But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize. / Only be sure to call it research. Tom Lehrer.  (Call it research, DO NOT CALL IT INVENTION!)
--You can steal a man's bolts, but you can't steal his thunder. Ed Zerne


More?  For now, enough. Shame on you, Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas.
