but come on he added a new hand, an extra helmet cord, and a smile and some hearts....its pretty much more original than the original now...pretty much....its true great artists steal, but they also dont get caught...

nice illus...I'm assuming you're doing something else with your work professionally...if not, you should be.

I dont think its really stealing the art as its a different medium with different features.

I like it a lot.

His raised fingers are kind of awkward. But cool.

Dude, I have to borrow from found images - everyone does. Don't sweat it. I think some people just enjoy watching others trip up from time to time! You are clearly a talented artist. I really like this - I also really liked carpe diem 1 (sans text, naturally).

I liked the first version better, it was softer and seemed more human considering the circumstance. While this sub still retains the textures and colors you do so well, the figure feels too cartoony for my tastes. And his bubble fingers throwing up the peace sign give off a cheesy feeling. 3

p.s. it IS clear that you did NOT "steal" anything and that you did you a reference.

...It's called a refrence? He's in the right, here.



Granted, I'm not a fan and wouldn't wear it, but he didn't steal anything.

Ok, I must apologise here, I wasn't in a particularly good mood on friday. I too use reference, but would suggest changing it more so your source is not instantly recognisable. I should have offered this advice instead of posting your reference shot, which was a lttle malice.

But with Carpe Diem 1. Isn't that a foreign movie image too? The name escapes me but I saw it yesterday at the dvd store?

Nice. Could u explain it a bit more, though? I know Carpe Diem's 'seize the day', but I don't get what a guy on an electric chair doing a peace sign with a speech bubble with 2 hearts in it really mean...
Grossmann
Grossmann on Mar 18 '07
What crime was this guy convicted of? Was there DNA evidence? Did he torture and molest someone? I have so many questions about this image.
mathiole
   mathiole on Mar 18 '07
the question is that he loves life until the very last piece of it...doesnīt matter what he do^^

Great illustration, greeeeat color but that is fucking deranged. Has our society really bottomed out to the point of trivializing the DEATH PENALTY. On a T-SHIRT??? Or worse yet, cheering for the sub-human about to be sizzled? I have the shivers and let me tell you, I am not weak of heart.
