I guess the only way I could ever hope to be original is hope that I have taken enough things from enough different areas that people go "wow, haven't seen something like that before..."

In the end it wont matter though, anything truelly original will get exploited and marketed to the point of band wagon status (my car on raceonusa.com for conversion fenders as an example), so it all goes back to doing what tickles your pickle the most.
