Another "tribute" to Edmund famous Cradlegrave cover?

Jared Katooie · 07 May, 2013, 08:35:25 PM

Sorry if this has already been spotted, but I was reading my Metro herald today when I spotted a rather familiar image. This piece of art is currently on display in the Balla Bán Gallery in Dublin.

Loving tribute or blatant tracing? You decide!

Link to the website, in case the image doesn't show up.

Isn't that Visitor writing from 80's 'V' ?

Wow. Plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery.

I've contacted the gallery and we'll see what they choose to do.

I've seen that devil girl before too

Tired of 'artists' doing this. I await the usual excuses

Hate to say it, but if I could make 5 million quid by copying a single panel from a comic book, then I'd probably do it.

It'd say less about you and more about the morons who'd pay it and then cook up some justification. As if Duchamp hadn't done it all before, and within a coherent theoretical framework, and better.

Here is where he swiped the devil girl

To add insult to injury his print is complete rubbish

Pretty sure I've seen that badly drawn man firing gun somewhere else too.
