Letter from One Muse to Another

[scribblemyname]

Dear Muses,

About that Pinterest thing: We know you’ve been putting off dealing with it because of valid points of inspiration and all that yada and primarily the fact that tracking a picture down to its original source is hard. to. do. ‘Nuff said.

But we’ve been reading up here and here and here, and something’s come to light you simply have to address. Not only are we held liable for what we pin, but also for what we repin? Oooh, goody. Nice going, Pinterest. Make sure every single person micromanages every other just so long as you don’t get held liable. :grumbles thunderously:

So what happens now?

Well, let’s face it, girl, ’cause you’ve been forgetting. You are a graphic artist. Got that? Graphic artist. You make art, and you know how to get the pictures to do it. Now, some of what you’ve got is fair use, but it’s those sneaky little repins you need to watch out for because you’ve been repinning like there’s no tomorrow.

And here you go: pinnable inspiration delivered to your Twitter, photographers who want you to pin their work. Now all you need is to take the time and create your own gorgeousness.

Got it?

Love,

The Muses
