Very well said. I am always more than willing to help anyone learn how to do what I do. The more we share, the better it becomes for everyone.

When I see a piece of art, I don't think of "how can I copy that", I think "oh wow! this person has a roll mill!" or "this person has a power hammer." "I have to figure out how to get one of those so I can do ............whatever".

I have also seen my work copied in cheap knockoffs. Rather than hurt me, I think it probably helped increase my business. And, in a way it is compliment.
