a lot of artists swipe or "homage." it's actually pretty common.



Not really-they are not supposed to. If they give credit it is an homage. if they don't it's a swipe which is wrong.

Any artist could tell you that if they copy photos it isn't art-it's copying which any decent artist can do. Used in conjunction with a light-box it would only take 1 minute to lay in the basic form of the copied figure.
