this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels covers friday may 11 2012 lichtensteined sleeping girl by roy lichtenstein you may have heard about roy lichtenstein s painting sleeping girl fetching 44 8 million in a sotheby s auction this week i always find news about lichtenstein s art interesting not only because i am primarily a comic book artist but also because i have the distinction of being one of the comic book artists that he swiped if you ve ever taken an art history class and probably even if you haven t you most likely know the work of roy lichtenstein he was one of a number of artists who rose to fame during the 60 s pop art movement as his wikipedia entry says roy lichtenstein october 27 1923 september 29 1997 was a prominent american pop artist his work was heavily influenced by both popular advertising and the comic book style lichtenstein s most famous paintings were based on comic book panels drawn by such giants as jack kirby john romita sr russ heath and many others almost always without attribution though these pieces were not exact copies they were undeniably based specifically on work that other artists had created this practice made him a highly controversial figure among the fine art world as well as comic book fandom lichtenstein had pretty much given up copying comic book panels by the time the 60s had come to end though later in his career he did return to the practice somewhat by incorporating comic panels into larger works this brings us 1994 and a piece by lichtenstein called large interior with three reflections lichtenstein used an image from an issue of the avengers that i drew early in my career and incorporated it into part of the large mural let s start with his original preliminary sketch for that portion of the image and here s a detail of the panel from avengers 358 january 1993 from which it was taken penciled by me and inked by tom palmer notice that the headpiece does not appear in the sketch lichtenstein also made other changes to the source material as he progressed to the drawing stage most notably the direction of the strands of hair up to this point i think it could have been debatable whether my image was the inspiration for that section of the mural but in the finished painting the headpiece is back in place leaving little doubt more on the creation of this piece including the confirmation of my avengers art as the source material for that small portion of it can be found here this was all brought to my attention originally by david barsalou who has an ongoing project identifying the source material for all of lichtenstein s pieces the comparison image below is from barsalou s flickr photostream in school when i was studying lichtenstein in art history classes i could have never dreamed that in a few short years he would actually be swiping some of my art the whole thing is surreal to me and i m not even really sure how i feel about it but i ve got to admit that part of me enjoys the notoriety of being able to say i was one of lichtenstein s victims would i be more outraged if the entire piece consisted of a single panel based on my work like sleeping girl and he had made millions from it probably the issue of how lichtenstein produced his art and the money he made by appropriating the work of other artists without credit or compensation can become complex when looked at from various points of view or it can be as simple as black and white i ll leave it for others to sort out posted by steve epting at 8 30 am 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels misc art news wednesday may 09 2012 winter soldier 8 cover this cover is a departure from my usual painted covers in that it is primarily a traditional ink drawing that i colored in photoshop as opposed to using it as the basis for a painting there are a few places where i did paint over the black and white art but not many i ll be doing a bit more of this on future winter soldier covers and possibly elsewhere as well as you can see in the line art below i forgot to draw black widow s belt so i added it in while coloring
