Collector Cowabunga_Kyle private msg quote post Address this user
This is a 2nd printing of a modern comic book sized art print I released this week through Cover Swipes




The piece lends a nod to Amazing Spider-Man #300. Hope you cats dig it

I don't want to sound like a jerk, but isn't it general practice add "after Mcfarlane" to a swipe like this?

@Hanginglimbs You don't sound like a jerk, and this is a heavily debated topic. I write "after so and so" on the original work, but my personal preference is to leave it off of the completed digital file of an obviously intentional homage or "swipe" because in my head that implies some level of approval by the original artist.

There are artists who despise the word "cover swipe" and who adamantly defend that they are creating "homage covers",but I'm not here to take a dump in anyone else's cereal, I am just having fun and creating lighthearted tribute art

I think it is cool to some degree for personal use, however some of the stuff I see for sale is such a money grabber. No originality.

@BrianGreensnips I can't speak for anyone else, but I am infatuated with this stupid cover and when I recreate it, it's with me in mind and if others want in then I make prints. I'm a fan first and foremost.

I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life. kaptainmyke private msg quote post Address this user
First of all, wow to your ASM300 collection of swipes. Secondly, what/where is that Ricketty Rick Sanchez one and the one up top with the portal and white cover? Are those prints you made? Furthermore, why is it a "second print"? What does the first print look like?

@kaptainmyke Thanks, it's been fun hunting these down!

The white background ASM book is a blank sketch cover with my digitally created image transferred onto it.

The second Rick is an art print available on CoverSwipes.com

The Batman Who Laughs was a limited to 25 prints, and sold out in two hours and looked like this

You should probably clean up the 4 letter words...and the "mother****er" in that last pic of your print should be edited out, before a mod deletes your posts and gives you a 7 day vacation from this board.
