    But it is original. The artist used a theme or idea, but turned it into more than that with different imagery and a subtle political message. You see that, right? They aren't the same images. One may be based on the other, but there is a world of difference in the messaging.
    It's as original as if I took a thesaurus and copied Hamlet with minor changes. Agreed with others. It's lazy. Basically artistic plagiarism.
    Talent borrows... genius steals. 


    I've long said this poster is lazy and uninspired. Never understood the fascination with it.

  • yawn....easy pass on this. Not even original, or edgy. Just politically lame
  • The artist flipped the face from THE FOREST poster and pretty much traced it

    Find a dictionary and look up "tribute". It's funny how people are getting so butthurt (artistically or politically) about a damn t-shirt. Oh wait, 10C...

    Some of my favorite posters are Justin Hampton's tributes to Norman Rockwell. They are far from lazy.

    So what I am gathering here is to buy it even if I don’t like it because it is controversial and it could potentially make money!  Boy if this hits the news it’ll go really high!!! 
    Ha!

    The 2010 poster with the kids? Was it traced straight from a Rockwell painting?

    Maybe we need to watch the movie to find the next clue about the new album/tour?
