Swipe File: Captain America Concept Art
So the new Captain America concept art for one of the movie costumes has leaked online, courtesy of Aint It Cool News. But are some of those poses a little familiar? Almost as if the artist had used famous Captain America poses to work from?
And the last one is ringing a bell but I can't instantly place it… anyone?
Thanks to Alex Chung, Supreme Convey and others who made similar observations…
In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree. They may be homages, parodies, ironic appropriations, coincidences or works of the lightbox. We trust you, the reader, to make that judgment yourself. If you are unable to do so, please return your eyes to their maker before any further damage is done. The Swipe File doesn't judge, it's interested more in the process of creation, how work influences other work, how new work comes from old, and sometimes how the same ideas emerge simultaneously, as if their time has just come. The Swipe File was named after the advertising industry habit where writers and artist collect images and lines they admire to inspire them in their work. It was swiped from the Comic Journal who originally ran this column, as well as the now defunct Swipe Of The Week website.
