whah there moot, i'd have to disagree with you there..well that is unless you have a Lichtenstein vector that you made that is superior... my magic 8 ball tells me that is unlikely.

Awesome, I thought I missed this when you started on this ages ago, but keep going! I'm seriously hanging out for the final result. Great stuff.

yes, keep going! it's looking great...

I don't care for much of the pop or modern art period pieces but I like Lichtenstein and this image in particular! great work on the simulated screen printing (the little dots)...

That's it for tonight. Left half is done, but i still don't have any sources what the dot pattern on the plane looks like on the original. Guess i have to take a trip to London ;)

why the fuck would you want to vector Lichtenstiens work? You know ALL of his comic-style images are almost exact copies of original comic panels, except crappier?
Now you could call that "appropriation" except Litchtenstien gave NO credit to the original artists, nor made any indication that they where copied, so he basically tried to pass them off as his own.

Here is a page of comparison shots of all of this works, with the originals on the left:

Whaam! was copied from a panel in a comic called "all american men of war", I cant remember the original artists name.

I see yer point however, that kinda was the point of the whole "pop art" movement - was making "fine art" out of everyday objects; i.e. Warhol's Campbell's Soup cans etc. of course it's pretty obvious in that case that Warhol didn't design the soup can label himself... did he officially give credit to the label's designer? or ask permission of Campbell to use the label?

anyway, as to why make a vector out of it? - just b'cuz he can.
also one could then make really large prints/posters for one's self...

there's a lot of fuzzy copyright laws regarding art and graphic art...

Is correct. i want a poster of this to cover the window over my dorm room door (stupid lamp right outside...).

I dont give a fuck if this was copied, and i dont give a fuck about the concept of art. I just like this picture, and i like Lichtenbergs idea of blowing comic panels up to large sizes.

I knew the site you linked, and have to agree that many of those pictures look shitty. But ive never seen most of them before either. Too bad that the site doesnt mention the real sources either, or did i miss something?

has a lot of pictures, together with the source if available.

also in looking at the "source" for "WHAAM" here
http://www.image-duplicator.com/images/sources/20072_01.jpg

according to the [fuzzy] art copyright laws, it looks to me that he did change the image enough as to not infringe and thus wouldn't need to name his source...
basically he just "copied" the rough/general layout... all the detail is different.

No, more like he just copied everything including layout, subjects, and almost all main lines making up the subjects and changed some details and colors, with some more variation in lines/proportions due to his shitty inability to draw from observation.

Still all right within copyright, which is all>>118710claimed. Your opinion of his integrity and artistry don't matter there, or anywhere else really.

that's exactally what the "pop artisits" of the 1960s did; they copied everyday objects and called them "Art". you don't have to like it. you don't have to respect their artistic "skills" [or lack of artistic skills as the case my be]. I don't but I do like this particular piece.

as an artist/graphic designer myself (who can actually draw/illustrate) I see so many other "artists" and "graphic designers" who can't even draw a stick figure to save their lives... especialyl these days with computers even the non artistically gifted person can somewhat hack their way into the design industry.
anyway, point is almost anything and everything in some way or form can be slapped on a wall a called "Art"... of course not everyone is going to sgree [fall] for it, myself included. but reality is anyone can "make art"...

anyhoo... I for one am waiting in anticipation for the next update on this vector!!!
