| These threads are usually entertaining for a while. Whether you consider the art a tribute, or homage (usually based on iconic art), or if you think it's an obvious swipe (perhaps laziness or a lack of imagination, perhaps nothing more than reference), if you know of one, post it  Bill Sienkiewic left Arthur Suydam right  |

Can we please call this stuff what it really is? Plagiarism! "Cover Swipe" is just a fancy way to say that. |

| In some cases, the artists are using the same photos for reference. It is not plagiarism if the artist sat down and redrew someone else's picture. I guess if I tap my hands on the side of a rock, I'm stealing from the first Caveman to ever do it. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by KingNampa Agreed 100%. Cover art by Steranko, Kirby, Adams and others are iconic. We all know and love their work. Makes me wonder if any of these copy catters will be remembered in the years to come. |

| An homage here and there would be ok to me, however it seems that it's all the time now. ASM 300 seems to be swiped every other week. | ||

Mrfitch77 private msg quote post Address this user | |
| imitation is the highest form of flattery. I dont think any of the artists are passing off the work as their own original ideas, but more likely trying to honor their own personal favorite covers and/or artists work by giving them a nod in their own style. I would be honored if an artist like todd mcfarlane thought highly enough of a piece of my own art, to recreate it with his own style. Just my opinion. |

 I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life.
