Just bought this book on pulp art and was looking through it...low and behold I find this picture.
Rafael De Soto "Blood on my doorstep"

looks real familiar...a little disappointed too as that was one of my favorite designs. Still cool, but way less dazzle in what I thought was an original idea. Figures Tom Tomorrow would be the Backspacer artist.

I know there are changes, but really? C'mon Ames Bros you are better than that :oops: :oops:

I know artists throughout history have used others' work as inspiration, it just makes me look at this poster in a different light now. :thumbdown:

    It's not uncommon for gigposters to pay homage to other works of art ... call it steal if you wish.

    The one above has been known for a while by many ... sorry you were surprised by it.

    A lot of gig posters pay homage/take inspiration from other works of art. It's not theft, and it's not done hoping no one will notice.

    Don't think the problem is with Ames. IMO.

    I like these four:


    The Great Wave At Kanagawa

    This is probably one of the most famous Ukiyo-e’s. It is called “The Great Wave”. (Why do you look surprised?). Artist is Hokusai and it is part of his subscription series, “Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji,” completed between 1826 and 1833.
