constantly thinking about one of my favorite photos, how it's been reposted and copied so much I haven't been able to find information on the original I've seen dozens of artists redraw it and there has never been any mention of its inspiration
thinking about the popularity of so many "redraw trends" and plagiarism of compositions by all sorts of artists (it comes up often for gposing but 2D artists do it too). i have to sum up my discomfort with it as follows: it's artists treating other artists the same way A/I treats art as data
