Re: [comicart-l] Re:The Ethics of Recreations+++Doc Savage!
Hi Tim, Bob, Mike (and other members who participated in this
discussion)
After our discussion I wanted to do a recreation with changes to the
original.Then this commission came.Inquiring about John Buscema/Tony
Dezuniga's Doc Savage #1 Splash for a commission (From the black &
white Marvel magazine version of Doc Savage from the 1970's)
Dave said "…this image was always my favorite interpretation of the
Doc Savage character in comics."
I told him to check the messages on our discussion of "Ethics of
Recreations" here and let me know what does he think about
recreations. In our discussion it was agreed that exact recreations
done for oneself is ethically acceptable. A recreation with changes
from the original is also ethical even if it is commissioned.
Dave replied that "I had no idea this was such an ethical quandary.
….. I just always liked the Buscema take on the Doc Savage crew, and
I don't need a slavish reproduction, just something in "the spirit"
of the 1970's Buscema."
That was acceptable enough for me.
I recreated John Buscema/Tony Dezuniga's Doc Savage #1 Splash.
Tony Dezuniga is my favorite inker over my favorite penciler John
Buscema. It is sheer coincidence that I received this as my first
commission.
I did not intentionally try to change the style.. But I purposely
changed the composition. Though I moved the figures, and moved the
text a lot it still may look like the original. But if you compare
with the original it is very clear that it is not a line for line
recreation.What do you think of these...

Dave says..." I see artists doing recreations or "One Minute later"
all the time, again, it's the iconic image that matters, not the
need to own a "copy" of a particular page.. whether you call it an
homage or say "After" it's a celebration of the original image, not
an attempt to pass it off as that image."
Thanks again
