A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Ooh, I forgot it was Gogol that wrote that one, thank you, it's marvelous!
I understand the OOP's sentiment. There are plenty of us who have visually detailed and complex ideas, but are unable to fully express them via conventional media, due to lack of skill or disability. Not everyone can practise their way into being a master painter. It doesn't mean I think of it as art, and I can't understand why some people are fine with passing off something generated from others' work as their own creativity.
You don't have to be a master. Started drawing recently which you can do for less than £1 and free if you wanted to put effort into doing it for nothing.
Helps to find things which are easier to draw with minimal skill, which isn't necessarily everything. Also repeating the same or similar thing too.
I want to come up with decent patterns to engrave into wood which does limit it a bit, can't really do shading and the lines can't be too close or once carved into wood they merge into each other. I think a bird standing on a branch and some Halloween ghosts are probably things I can do well enough now that they could be worth carving at some point. Sanded some more scrap wood recently which I could use, might be worth buying some boards soon if it comes out well.
