The 3po boombox I could see more than one person doing that as a concept, and there are a bunch of differences between Buko's and that 3d real-world rendering of it...although there are LOTS of similarities as well, but I would think those similarities came from logical placements of translating 3po to a boombox style? Anyway the addition of the r2d2 headphones puts this one over the top, but maybe Enkel saw that piece a while back and unconsciously reinterpreted it? Hmmm.

Sorry everyone i feel really bad and i already contacted the artist to apologize. It wansn't my intention to rip off, i got the idea from somewhere and i thought it could look cool on shirt. But when i saw that image i realized that I've seen it before and probably got the idea from it but it was totally unconsciously. I never used it as direct reference and if i had it and wanted to rip off i probably would have changed the sliders to avoid similarities and hide the truth, but it was totally coincidence. I'm really sorry that this happened and i know that can happen to anybody but i feel so bad about it.

None of this bothers me....EXCEPT the fact that FA is confusing R2D2 with C3PO.
Naolito
   Naolito on Apr 06 '10
I think that it's isn't anything bad in what you've done Buko.

Everyday many designs use known characters, antique art or films references, and anything happens.

This time, he has used a funny image on the internet, adding more funny stuff to it with an awesome result.



I don't think that you have to apologize buko, the only thing that maybe you could do when you submited is to post the image that inspired you.



I hope that it prints anyway, You did a incredible work here and this isn't different to any comon spoof that we see everyday at threadless.

Naolito on Apr 06 '10 One more thing, Share the money???

So, if this prints:

I was just trying to come up with a compromise.

But I think the situation you described is slightly different. The arist who did renaissance rocks is spoofing da vinci, buko is not spoofing mcmullen. Buko is spoofing star wars. I am not implying he share the money with George Lucas.



But Mcmullen was already spoofing star wars, and buko, as he explained, probably got that idea from mcmullen, which makes it seem more like a collab, which a lot of people here on threadless already do, and often share the money. Just a thought.



No matter what, I still think it should print and I'm probably going to buy two of them.

Just as a reminder -- you can't copyright an idea, only a work (the way you express the idea through your creative endeavors). So even if buko did take the idea from another artist, the work submitted here is clearly his (buko's) own.

It's OK Buko, this kind of thing happens to the best of us and it wasn't intentional. It's still an amazing tee design with your own unique twist, so if the original artist agrees with it I'd call it a collab and split it 50/50, that way you both win. :)
