So, what's worse? Working someone's (or "a") style or working a noted icon? I'm going for the latter. Though, I really don't have a problem with any of it so long as you're not trying to replicate for profit. That is to say: come so close to something that's been done that a viewer has to look at for a second to realize that the "noted" artist didn't do it. Whoever does those "Shag-like" paintings on ebay, and just changes a few details easily falls into that catagory. They have no shame and they're no artist.
