wow this thread really took off!
haha - clearly Erik's ass does not look nearly as good in 5 o'clock lighting. I initially saw the image on ffffound, looked her up and saw that she listed him as one of her influences on more than one online interview. which can be read here (7th question down): http://thespottedfox.com/stuff-w…
I then went to her archive of work and couldn't help see all the things that were striking in similarity (poses, hair styles, pirate ships, sainted-circles behind heads, indian headdresses, tattoos, compositional structures, etc..) It seemed that while she was probably not ripping him off there was a lot to be desired in her diversity of inspiration and sources. So, sorry for angering the Qube Gods - I realize the majority disagree and that's cool. Thanks for the internet smathering :-)
