Hipster artist Todd Goliath (creator of “Boys Are Stupid, Throw Rocks at Them†T-shirt) of money-machine David and Goliath T-shirts was recently caught directly plagiarising from a modest indy artist on Something Awful. As the posting trumpets – “He didn’t just copy the image…he traced it!” And according to this, it’s not the first time!
Man…can you imagine the balls on this dude – WTF???
Check out his ED article. It’ even worse than you think.

what’s funny is warhol did the same thing, and he’s a genius…same with lichtenstein… go figure.
Yeah but they created their own original content. This guy plagiarized pretty much every single one of his shirts.
yah and they also plagiarized a lot of comic art. Lichtenstein’s most famous work is based off of “plagiarism” Well I’m only base this off of the one peice on this blog, and like i says, warhol and lichtenstein did the same thing. And yes, they also created original pieces as well, more so warhol.
Go look at the other links in the piece…this extends beyond ‘borrowing’ or ‘homage’, and then some.
What.. a…shame… tsk tsk.
If I ever find out that he goes to some art exhibition or something that I plan on attending, I’ll print out one of those artists’ drawings and ask him to sign it. Just to be an asshole. Plus I’ll get to show people something funny if he’s stupid enough to mistake it for his own work.
Good plan, VH – be sure to get video!
