Hm, there's some really neat stuff here. I especially like

    They see things you may not have intended, they relate it to their life, their emotions, their unique experiences. Then it is their own and the art has evolved and has been successful

Because it gets at something I've been thinking a lot about lately- chiefly that creative works have a life of their own, and as such their merit exists independently of their creator. Not a new idea maybe, but definitely one worth chewing on for a while.

Lot of points to digest, thanks for the response.

Speaking of KB, I'm surprised he hasn't put his two cents in. Subject seems right up his alley.
