    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.

  • The two Superman/Batman are complete swipes IMO.
    If you're going to do something so blatant at least say it's a homage to whoever you're swiping.
    Unfortunately it happens all the time and until someone gets there sued big time it will continue to happen. Shame on you

  • 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.

  • 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.
