Why would you want to become a clone of an already existing artist? You're only going to be called the poor man's [name of the artist you'd like to emulate], and that is if you even manage to garner enough attention.

If you're going to reference this guy's works that's alright but I'd advise against overdoing it. Not trying to put you down or anything but you mustn't forget that no matter how hard you try you'll never artistically become he who you're trying to emulate. Wouldn't it be infinitely more gratifying to have your style have its own identity? Influences are alright but downright clones are boring, that's what I'm trying to say.
