well, I guess that explains why I liked that poster and don't really care for much of his other work.
Homage redrawings are fine, cool, fun - but he straight up traced it.
that sucks=(

ugh. disappointing.

I like his work but that poster just takes the exact original design and moves the main elements around a little. That flower design at the bottom adds nothing to the original work either. That poster is best left alone.

given that the source graphic is umpteen thousand years old, it scarcely seems tot matter how old this subject is

It's still a blatant rip

Just saw this thread... sorry if I'm beating the dead horse of a 2 month old post, but I just wanted to put my 2 cents in and perhaps give some context to that piece:
Yes, it's a copy of an existing work, and yes, as one poster so astutely observed, it was meant to be a bit ironic given the title of the original piece. The context here has been lost over the 6 years since I printed that poster. It was originally created as part of a series for a string of electronic music shows we put on in sacramento. The "flower" logo is the logo of the "command collective", our electronic music collective at the time (command, as in command key, as in that logo) We , as electronic musicians at the turn of the century were into sampling, and I thought for this particular set of shows, a bit of visual sampling was in order.
anyways, I realize it's not incredibly original, and it wasn't really created for that purpose, it was created to promote a show that happened 6 years ago and to re-create a famous image in a more minimal and efficient way. A lot of people ended up collecting them around town from the poles and the shows, so I thought I'd make them commercially available given that the copyright, country, and designer of the original had all expired.
thanks

haha, what a storm in a fucking teacup - some folk on her are so quick to hunt out and knock someone without the slightest thought to context, its pure jealousy kids, and its not pretty
- wilbur0
couldn't agree more, love the work.

Surely an unknown designer would have been burned down to the ground by the same people that downplay it now...
.
I see the 'design community' hasn't lost its touch of hypocrisy
- kelpie0
nah, I think that's shite, personaly - the guy took a very old image and reapropriated it in a new context. I totaly fail to see how this is a bad thing (who loses out here? the original designer? give me a break), and the amount of times people go out of their way to accuse folk of the big bad RIP on here is very tiresome, am I the only person that can see the validity in what the guy has done here?
for me, purely as a matter of opinion, the whole rip thing can stink pretty badly of holier than thou hypocrisy itself.
- wilbur0
yeah, it looks like folk deliberatly trying to find fault (where there is none) in a good designers folio. Its not a rip at all. Its not really the point but I have noticed folk who are more vocal in their accusations have little or no work online.

Well understood, Scott, except for saying the man had expired himself. It's not cave painting you used there, you revamped artwork by someone whose name was known. To me, in this particular case, it's more of adding drum track to a song than sampling, but I'm not going ot discuss this.
Just wanted to say, putting his name somewhere would be simply nice and prevent your credibility from ever being questioned.
I like your work in general and enjoy the Tycho cd I bought at offf.bcn recently. Thanks for all that.
