Hey Pixel,

maybe a late reply here but your comment is too funny.

So you can’t remember later then April 2006 but you know Picasso? Seems like a contradiction considering he died in 1973. :)

I think he’s just another voyeur who likes to watch hot young designer boys stroke each other’s egos.

Thanks so much for your eloquent bashing of a site that you have wasted your time visiting.

So, which does that make you: A “biter” or a “word-wanker”?

Amazing work!

While I’ve been coming to this site for longer than I can remember I’ve only recently started checking the comments. Thought at first Marc B or whatever there had a point but he sure knows how to sabotage himself. I think what he wanted to say and what came out of his keyboard were completely different. Though now that I know he is a troll he lost all his cred for that one.

A pretty great and amazing artist once told me “Good artists copy, great artists steal”. That statement has resonated through my head for years ever since I heard it and seems to be some good food for thought in this thread (as long as you think about it in the literal sense and get all meta and deep with it).

Either way Roberts work there is amazing and I came into this comment thread to maybe get some insight on how he did it.

The whole premise of this site in general (trying to validate “moshun graficks” as something worthy of serious critical discourse) is sort of masturbatory.

So are we saying that copying someones work for a buck is “bad”?
Something to be “frowned upon”? Well then what is this site other than a self-prmotional vehicle and resource for the biters and the word-wankers?

Marc B may be a troll, but this kind of assininely snarky post is just as useless and unprofessional.

first, applause to jsaunders for mentioning the idea/technique borrowing that is an unfortunate mainstay in our industry. it’s a lot easier to become blind, deaf and numbed to it than to stay consciously aware of it, let alone discuss it. the impressive quality of his work seems to be a testament to that kind of thinking.

mark b is an obvious noob-boob if he can’t see the chasm of difference in quality from this stuff and those software showcase examples.

and to seidel, the ultimate compliment: that five project is exactly the kind of thing i would show to someone when they laboriously proclaim that “everything’s been done”. (though that phrase is often just an excuse for someone to descend to blatant idea/technique borrowing)
