Swipe File: Angel Vs Charmed
We all know that licensed comics often get photo galleries for the comic creators to use when creating work based on likenesses. And in this case, the Angel Omnibus appears to have used a photo of Charisma Carpenter put through a Granito filter.
Except it appears that it's a photo from another TV show, Charmed, in which Charisma appeared.
Oopsie.
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.
