Tracer hack. Thanks for pointing out Sergio Toppi though. That samurai pic is really nice. Nice enough to steal and alter badly, it seems.

You know what's even worst, at the top of Finch's page it says "No honor".
Wow. |

At least Dave could have just added after Sergio in his sig. Sergio is an old master and why Dave thought he could steal his artwork, almost verbatim, is a mystery. Then again Dave's been swiping Jim Lee and Travis Charest panels for some time now. He's a great renderer but this just knocks him down a few notches.

Damn, why do these guys do this so much/ Pressure, deadlines, run out of ideas? It seems like some really talented guys are getting outed as of late. Do you guys think any of the old school ( Kirby, Eisner, Busma era) guy did this or is it just the climate of producing over rendered photo real art?
Discuss amongst yourselves...or here, i guess.  |

I think it's less a case of this suddenly happening now and more a case of never before has information been so readily available to so many and communication so quick. Before it would take years for something like this to get out if it was ever caught to begin with. Now it takes 5 minutes and a forum.

I've never really been a big fan of this guys work! It's just that it's not really that much different than what Lee or Silvestri were doing back in the late 90's ,early 00's so it's not that devastating to me. It's a shame that someone of this guys talent would do something so blatant and not give cred where it's due.

I have to admit, I didn't know Finch took other people's art. It's still a mystery to me why you would take the time to steal art (i.e., trace it) when it takes less time to lay it out yourself. I mean, at least for me, I can make up art quicker than I can slavishly copy it: of course, I never have copied other people, so I'm assuming it would take less time; and, my style is not as line heavy as Finche's
Recently Marvel put out a letter to its artists telling them not to plagiarize. I know this is an Image page, but that letter should have been a shot across the bow for the whole comic art world. This is as bad as that Bachalo thing, where he use a page twice, once for an Image cover and once for a Marvel splash page, and didn't tell either publisher. Don't people know stealing is wrong? Or do they just not understand what is or is not stealing? Or do they just not want to know? |

I don't care how ignorant you are, you have to know what is right and wrong. What's stealing and what's not! Or maybe I'm giving him to much credit...I'm with you Scott...I don't understand it.

What makes me laugh is how many people talk about right and wrong and stealing when it comes to the "sacred" topic of comic art....but, honestly, how many of you shouting "thief!" have STOLEN music, movies, comics or software on your computers?
Not that I'm defending this kind of swiping, I'm just busting on the hypocracy.  |
