Anonymous asked: I'm sorry, but I can't help but feel that her work is a cheap knock-off of yours. Her style is clearly trying to be similar. Do you not think so?

nah, i don’t think so. i don’t see her trying to be similar to me anymore. if anything, she’s made herself very clear that she doesn’t like being associated with my work. she’s young and learning, so… give the girl a break?

  5. howrra said: Anon’s being harsh! I remember reading that she said she had a lot of influence from you, but she is branching out into her own thing. Everyone starts somewhere.
