You know what I hate the most? People who flagrantly steal designs and pass them off as their own.
Case in point – I hand drew a piece back in ‘99 titled “woman’s back” which I posted to Deviantart HERE. Then I go HERE and find out that some douche by the profile name of “myob” decided he (could be a she, but for the context of this rant I will refer to said theif as he) would take my drawing and, without asking for my permission and adding some terrible filter and gradient effects, push it off as his own and call it a day.
Wow, take a load off myob, you’ve had a long day at the office with this one, you know – with all the right-click / copying and so forth.
Now look, it’s easy to take anyone’s work off the web, but if you respect the artist, the art or the community we call the web at all…you won’t do it. It helps if your not a douche also.
Below is a side by side comparison of this winners “original” design with the one I did about 11 years ago:


Coincidence? I think not!
Two things I love – typography and Samuel Jackson yelling at someone.
Recently saw a pic of Johnny Cash’s mugshot on some random site and like most things I see, I immediately said to myself – I must draw it! So not to give up an opportunity to doodle, I did a very cartoony version of the Cash man (I’m sure that’s what his friends called him).
