I come from a more "fine" art and performance background and since I've been involved in design, I notice there seems to be a 'prissier' sensibility in the more commercial art or graphic design world about who steals who's material. People get really uppity and prickly about it. I don't think one channel of art is necessarily better or more relevant then the other (that's a volume of discussion unto itself), but I do think they have different contexts and functions. It seems ironic that in a field (graphic design) where people discuss innovation a whole lot, that the field feeds more off of trend and recycling of ideas, at least on a daily basis. Just my take on it, but I guess my point is - who cares what this guy lifts from other sources. That's kind of the point in the first place. He's talented, yeah, and there's some neat stuff, but I don't find his work particularly interesting enough to wax that philisophical about it.
