Pretty much, and that’s before you get to Bonfire Night, which as much as official voices might try and tell you has to do with a bunch of Catholic conspirators failing to blow up a building that one time, is really more a thing people were doing already that just had an official celebration grafted onto it later. I…

Been following the progress of this one for a while and I’m really looking forward to it. I love the focus on a really well fleshed out small space that Gone Home had but this is much more my genre than that was.
100% certain one of those dudes will turn out to be Palmer Luckey.
(crossed wires, my comment is part of a convo with Adrasrta about Idelle Weber and the Mad Men opening credits)
It isn’t commercial work so no, she didn’t need to licence the photo for this.
She did credit the photographer for one thing (the image Devins “found” was a re-colour she did later, the first upload had a credit) but also no, she’s not selling it and not being paid to create it so it’s a different case to what he did.
I think legally using her work as the basis should have been alright (also not an expert here) but it was definitely a giant dick move for them to act as if she wasn’t an influence on it at all, and then to not invite her to contribute after they had been called out on it.
Since the thread got nuked (understandably) I’ll drop my other example back in here...
Ok, I’ll bite this one, I guess his masters degree would be in urban planning, so probably won’t have covered things like image rights but as someone who’s masters degree is actually in a relevant fucking topic to the matter at hand (illustration), mine does.
Idelle Weber’s work was borrowed for the opening credits of Mad Men, not that you’d know that from reading anything by the people who made it. For good measure when AMC commissioned a series of posters for the final season by notable designers and artists from the era...she was not asked to contribute. :|
I’ll admit I’ve not read the novel, but everything I’m hearing about this now makes it sound like a YA retelling of An Inspector Calls.
I have found “can this person talk about Robert Yang without resorting to homophobic jokes” to be a good sniff test to measure if it’s worth giving a games critic/LPer/etc the time of day or not, needless to say Jacksepticeye did not pass.
FINALLY the contemporary disco/high fantasy mash up I have been waiting for!
The Louis Vuitton logo recreated with different initials really ads to that effect too.
Not generally a fan of Koons, but gazing ball isn’t a bad idea for a series (though IMO it works much better on the sculptures than on the paintings, see ref). Generally pairing up classical styles with harshly modern colours, lines, and surfaces is a look I am super into...
I got less than a quarter of the way through this article before I was like “Ok, so Mike from Spaced if he was a Nazi sympathiser...got it.”
My swimsuit goal...
Aw, she’s super close in patterning to one of mine who regularly gets quite desperate for cuddles, jumping up on my lap when I’m working and makes these really pitiable warbling mews.
