List 5-10 artists/creators I admire: [names]
What I love about each: [specific elements]
What I avoid in my work: [what I consciously reject]
My current style: [how I'd describe my work]
Using Kleon's "steal from your heroes":
- What's the common thread across my influences?
- Which elements can I combine in ways nobody else has?
- What am I stealing badly vs. stealing well?
- What would my work look like if I mashed up my top 3 influences?
Show me my creative lineage and what to steal next.
