Many artists pull inspiration from the world around them, and not from other artists. They find their own style, their own approach to the world—they are innovators, entrepreneurs, people who have gone where nobody had ventured before. They start the trends, they instigate.
Most artists learn from others first. They pull on the styles and trends of the past, or the current hip look. We all start off learning from teachers, or gaining inspiration from other finished products. However, the truly amazing can pull ideas from pieces, and put those together for a style that is completely their own and never seen before.
Everybody is confronted with a need to pull an idea from nowhere at sometime in their lives, regardless of what job they pursue. Especially since copyright issues are inevitable, people start thinking in different directions from the norm, something that possibly nobody else would have thought was plausible.
Throughout history, there were people that realized the need to create something to simplify others or their own lives—they are often called the inventors.
Oftentimes, pure genius is born out of selfishness. The need for a certain item induces the need to create something to satisfy the need—and ta-dah, the public finds themselves also wanting to use the product to simplify their everyday lives.
The selfishness, in this case, was beneficial to all the people around them. In some ways, it can seem quite incidental, but in some cases it always ends up for the best.
