Thanks for your observations. You are right about competition. The more unique you are the less you have. However, as soon as it is apparent that one’s uniqueness is an advantage that drives sales, the copycats will soon be out in droves. There’s a fine line between borrowing creativity and outright stealing.

Reminds me of a quote in my book, An Artist Empowered:

Are you one-of-a-kind or one-of-many? When
you’re one of a kind, there is no competition.

—Sam Horn, POP! Stand out in any crowd
