Publicize your art as much as you can and make it sure serious buyers and art galleries know that your style is genuinely yours. Copycats usually get tired after a while: after all there is not much personal satisfaction in copying and they will often go from copying one artist to copying another. What they are copying is also something you did in the past, and because you are the creative force behind the art that is being copied, you often moved on to the next step in your art journey being always one step ahead. You own the creative tools, they are just replicating an end product.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>donotdestroy: How to deal with an art copycat &#8211; ARTiful: &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12749],"tags":[227,760,761,822,582,655,7292,739,752,226,7459,1295,667,8505,3144,144,7741,738,10832,7972,87,370,755,754,6662,92,3249,5266,1939],"class_list":["post-8394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tumblr","tag-abstract","tag-ai-art","tag-ai-artist","tag-animation","tag-art","tag-artist","tag-authentic","tag-copycat","tag-creative","tag-digital-art","tag-digital-artist","tag-drawing","tag-fake","tag-genuine","tag-ideas","tag-illustration","tag-illustrator","tag-imitation","tag-influence","tag-influencers","tag-inspiration","tag-life","tag-nft-art","tag-nft-artist","tag-original","tag-painting","tag-real","tag-realism","tag-surrealism"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
