Swipe File: Star Wars Between Brian Rood And Robert Bailey

Brian Rood is a much admired Star Wars artist.

Especially by another Star Wars artist Robert Bailey. But he has many other influences too.

Here's a piece by Brian on top and Robert below.

And an admiring one from Robert.

Of course Robert is less happy, when he is called out on it.

But it's not just Brian that Robert likes, there's also Jerry Vanderstelt..12508752_10207389342985575_6639557812329894405_n

And Robert's tribute.12524006_10153802035548389_6689092993514666363_nAnd selling them for four figures in his store (though now withdrawn) was just his way of paying tribute.

Then of course there are the statues he loves…

And the games…Star-Wars-Battlefront-_4-17_A.0 1230_931948083555914_3534173759401661543_nAnd plenty more to come I'm told…

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.
