“If I gave you French underwear for your birthday, would you let me borrow it?” – ”I’m that guy, from that famous band, you know…” – “I closed (kissed) an HB10 (hot babe rated 10) last Saturday, but I don’t want an LTR (long term relationship) so I just said LJBF (let’s just be friends)”

We recently finished a new illustration for a story about the ‘art of seduction’. The article is about seduction in various contexts: how to sell yourself, or your product and how to attract customers – or the opposite sex! In the story there’s an interview with a group of young men who are all part of an online community where they share tricks and theories on how to seduce (mostly) women. We thought this was really interesting and funny… and apparently there are even equations to figure out how big your chance is to get together with a hot lady.

Apparently that’s how Picasso felt about copying people’s work. These examples below are from some Danish designers who have been a little more than inspired by our work without linking to us or indicating where the inspiration came from.

Don’t get us wrong: We are more than happy that people can be inspired by our work! But instead of making a copy, why not add a twist, give it something new – in which case it would be both fun and interesting to have people contact us and show us new results that draw on the same ideas as we have worked with. But to stumble upon copies displayed on other designers’ websites, as if they were their own with no credit whatsoever, is not fun at all. And in these two examples the designers haven’t even bothered to at least change the format. In fact some details are so similar, that we find it is beyond doubt what’s going on…

What do you think? Is it ok to copy, and where do you draw the line? It would be great to get some responses on this topic.

We almost forgot to mention: our latest illustration is out now in DSB’s magazine Ud & Se in the March issue. We did these two images for a very interesting and entertaining article about why and how people lie – which they apparently do a lot more than you’d expect… It’s written by our friend Boline Skovly. Grab a copy next time you are on a train! If you are not Danish you might not know the magazine, but it really is a nice one – one of our favorites in fact.

Here are the two illustrations:
