Whoever that guy is, he's amazing!!! I love his style.

Also the strip in that prod's screenshot wasn't originally drawn by RA, i think it was made by some spanish or argentine artist but his name escapes me right now, all i remember is that in the original strip the chick has a dick on the last picture :]

So, they "ripped" without giving credit? That sounds very... 2007 :D

Maybe it was carlos gimenez, maybe not.
However while searching for gimenez stuff, i stumbled upon a familiar face:

Origin/Complex anyone ?

Carlos was a great source of inspiration for RA :].I don't know where i've seen the same scene with a dick tho, probably in a parody.

Are we really going to have another copying is ok/copying is lame thread?
COPYING IS LAME
REPLYING TO THIS THREAD IS LAME (So, I guess I'm lame, uh....oh, well...yes?)
nutman: i was trying desperatly to avoid it considering the idiocy surrounding the debate on doom's thread but i guess it's abit too late for it now.

As we all know from Facet`s Zine article that todays graphicians sucks and that the amiga graphicians in the 90`s were so damn creative.....yeah right :)

COPYING IS OK
No use in trying to understand the the mechanisms behind gfx-copying in the early to mid 90's if you were nine years old at the time. What RA did to the gfx-scene then was of huge importance even when he was copying. Without him the logos you all know would look very different now.

indeed, he is an inspiration to a lot of artists due to his technique, whether the works were directly or indirectly inspired from other works..

ps: "idiocy surrounding the debate" - yes you are indeed a narrow minded idiot!

zplex: ditto.

"he is an inspiration to a lot of artists due to his technique"
he probably WAS

Damn, finding out that a load of old scene art you really liked are copies sucks. Still, it's not like ra copied all those logos and stuff too, so it's not the end of the world.

I wonder what we'll be finding out about today's demos in 10 years time? :)

His technique was good, but if you compare this:

with

A lot of what you'd initially consider to be Ra's "special" technique is just a pixelled reproduction of the eccentric (and very original) style of the original artist. You can't look at the originals and then Ra's copies and honestly say "few people could've done that".

That is just a bad example, his logos are excellent, you cant say they are copied!
