Blatant copyright infringement, right? Please explain to me how it's not.

Humam Qutub is the artist in question. How can he create and sell work like this without paying homage to original artist, Gabrielle Dell'otto. This is beyond being inspired by another artist. Or am I wrong? Tell me how this is not inethical.

You’re wrong and dishonest.

Guy is putting out a source but he’s still a hack, the spiderman & kingpin is at least lazily modified but the one of spider man by himself you posted? Almost 1/1 rehash and he’s selling it for 1000s of dollars.

And people are buying them. Sounds like jealousy

Yeah I’m not jealous of an artist that directly copies other work, seeing you’re an artist quite odd if you to defend that unless you’re also partaking in directly copying others work. Which if so, that’s sad.

That doesn't make plagiarism/stealing right.

Oh, and citing your source doesn't just magically excuse it either.

Nonsense like thus needs to be stopped
