Three Swipes On A Monday Morning
1. Activision.
When making images to market your games, you can use computers to generate characters from the games. Or if the images in Ultimate Alliance 2 just don't look good enough, you can Photoshop on a mouth…
2. Instrotek
This is a business card, handed out to a Little Bleeder recently for Instrotek. And the Image Comics logo.
3. Golden Age.
It seems that the only way iconic Golden Age characters can meet is around the corner of a brick building toting guns.
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.
