Art Force - Badge and Sticker Design

I've been stopping myself from exploring new ideas for the fear of "copying" someone else's. However, just about every idea isn't original anymore. Everything, even the "original" ideas are all influenced by others. So even if I think I have a cliche idea, I'm still going to run with it. At least I'm working on stuff that has a personal meaning to me. Like starting to incorporate my prior Air Force experiences into my design work. It is who I am, and I should be proud to explore it and showcase it.
