Re: SMOKE VS. BANKSY
Mine første tanker da jeg så den forside gik 10 år tilbage i tiden til computerspillet Chaos Overlords, hvor man skal styre en by ved at hyre kriminelle bander til at gøre ting for sig. Et fantastisk spil, hvis man spørger mig. Men en af de vist 90 bander (som man kunne udstyre med våben og kampdrager) i spillet bestod af fyre med smileyansigter. Jeg har scannet nettet for at finde et screenshot, hvor lige den bande er vist, men jeg fandt ikke noget brugbart. Så om det er min hukommelse, der leger med mig, eller der er en reel lighed, står ikke lige til at afklare.RKM skrev:Angående G. Floy Studio udgivelse af SMOKE d 7. juni.

9.11.04 The World Is Full of Angry People
The Wooster Collective is mad at me. Igor Kordey and I are both big fans of the British street artist Banksy, and we were inspired by two of his graffiti images for the covers of Issues 1 and 3 of SMOKE. These covers are currently in solicit form only, so without the series logo, publisher logo, or credits to anyone. We never tried to claim the images were not inspired by Banksy. We were going to credit the images on the cover as "After Banksy", and include a line on the first page of the comic where to go to check out Banksy's art. The folks at Wooster say we're stealing, and want us to drop or change the covers.

I just got an email from Banksy about this covers brouhaha. The man himself says:
alex- everything will be cool if the comic is good. if the comic is bad we fight friday night in the car park of wetherspoons, crouch end 8pm no weapons -b
So: as you were, everyone. Props to the Wooster Collective for making a stand for artist rights, though. And I hope the street art community will accept my apology for the mis-steps I made in handling all this. I genuinely love the wit and design sensibility of street art, and really the last thing I wanted to do was piss all of you off. If SMOKE lasts beyond the initial 3-issue season, I'd love to see if we could commission some of the incredibly talented artists whose work I've discovered via Marc and the Wooster site to officially do covers for us.
