I don't normally post these, but I'm a bit of a Mahnke fan, so not crediting him in any way (unless I missed it) kind of gets my goat. I actually posted to her facebook page and blog a few times. She blocked me on facebook and turned off comments on her blog. I assumed if she felt what she was doing was legit she'd at least tell me to off."1500 years ago, everybody knew the Earth was the center of the Universe. 500 years ago, everybody knew that the Earth was flat... and 15 minutes ago, you knew people were alone on this planet. Think about what you'll know tomorrow." - Agent K, Men in BlackFind answers to CBR FAQs on my profile!

- It's bad enough copying someone else's artwork without acknowledgement but to then add pretentious text makes it even worse for me. I'll try to comment on her Facebook page too.

- Take a screen cap when you do, because I'm sure she'll delete it and block you right away!
If she had simply given the original artists credit on the canvas or on the website, I would have rolled my eyes and walked away, but not acknowledging them and not allowing others to mention it is really bad form."1500 years ago, everybody knew the Earth was the center of the Universe. 500 years ago, everybody knew that the Earth was flat... and 15 minutes ago, you knew people were alone on this planet.

- Those are great! I'm an engineer, so I'm constantly "swiping" old designs. It seems less lazy in my profession.

- Makes me wonder if Rob Liefeld has ever drawn anything originally and not swiped from someone else.
