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, light and shadows. select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. if you do this your work (and theft) will be authentic. authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. and don't bother conceiling your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. in any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: "its not where you take things from - it's where you take them to. - Jim Jarmusch
great take on plagarism.
happy birthday to Mr. Jarmusch. coming a bit late in the day, but as ever its the though that counts.
above are some of my favourite images from his films.
word is he's taking on a new vampire flick, and if anyone can break the current, stilted mould, he can. with Fassbender, Mia Wasikowska and John Hurt on board things are looking up for cinematic bloodsuckers.
cannee wait.
