I came across this great poster in a blog by Mark Malazarte and I just had write about it so to keep a copy in my archives that I can always go back for reminder. Originality is non-existent. How great it is to hear that by someone else! I think every creative person either knows this or has an innate understanding of it that enables them to do what they have been doing. 

Melissa Pierce, life-coach and blogger, has an upcoming documentary which explores the question of what is creativity and what is authenticity, and whether the two are mutually exclusive. I'll save my remarks until i see the movie but her interviews with established creative thinkers and doers bring up interesting insight to the process of challenging creativity and authenticity on a daily basis. Short clips of the film are on her website, worth the look if you get a chance.
