first thing i thought of was daniel dangers 'lets be kings' print too.

this fudge is getting way lame. is this what happens when i dont have a store for 3 months? its a free for all?

DD, I'd take you more seriously if you'd return e-mail from your fans and actually sell some of the stuff you've created. Let's get some of that art out in the hands of the people, rather than just talking about it and complaining about the artists imitating you. At least they're making their stuff available to collectors.

harsh would be getting rid of my danger work......

who wants 'lets be kings', 'toru', 'tiny empire', and 'ghost ships'? i'm moving them....as fast as possible. make me a trade offer for all three. no cash.

edit....make that all four.

imitation is the greatest form of flattery

and DD is working on the new store. Can't blame him for crashing a server because of the demand. The man's working on it.

Are people here really condoning forms of plagiarism?

I thought the IQ in here was a little higher than THAT.

ketstroxan · Fri Nov 16, 2007 3:07 pm

is it really 'straight plagiarism'?

plagerism? that would never hold any ground. go grab a calender from borders books and you'll see all kinds of pictures like this.

thesavageguy · Fri Nov 16, 2007 3:12 pm

Okay, maybe not STRAIGHT plagarism, but there really arent many differences here. For a print as well known as Kings, I would never expect to see something this close. It has to raise an eyebrow, right?

@ all ..calm down...

imo both prints may get the same theme at the first look - but a different story behind the picture....this is art!!! the only connection i see are the trees and the deer....nothing else....nobody has got an copyright for that. so iwouldn't call this plagiarism.

just think about....love both prints for different reasons.

I think you should be proud DD... Artists are inspired by your work. You have come a long way

too much coffee for doubles then?

guess it can be argued either way, surely there is no "winning" case legaly speaking. Happens in music a lot too....

oh wait, that's different.

coxgt · Fri Nov 16, 2007 3:27 pm

I think its a bit childish calling another artist out, couldn't this be handled in private?

In private...maybe under certain circumstances....but a diet like can can play tricks on ya!
