Maybe I'm oversimplifying but the question is: "does an artist _own_ a style?" To me the answer is no.

- theptip 4y agoI agree with your answer, but not that your question is the question. Some that I think are closer: Does an artist own their name? Yes. I can’t publish a work of art and say “authored by savant_penguin”. Can I sell art with product name “in the style of savant_penguin”? I think this varies by jurisdiction; it’s not going to be legal in the EU I think. It might well be in the US.
