I wondered when this would come. Can’t say I’m surprised in the least. Is there a compromise we could reach, such as running a tweet by you before using it? :)

out of all the legions of artists i’ve mocked, the only time someone tells me to stop, it’s a guy who tells people to follow their dreams. smh.

“Stop using my art” says the guy who reinterprets others’ quotes for his own purposes.

“Stop using my quotes. I’m not sure who Gav is, but I don’t want my words associated with his art.” Fair’s fair, buddy.

While I agree with this point, further hypocrisy does not prove anything, it just makes you look like as much of a hypocrite as he is. I think there is also something to be said for the fact that he is at least TRYING to represent the quotes he uses faithfully even though he isn’t always successful.

honestly if youve read the dril pencils comics and think the quotations arent accurately represented with the art (both in subject matter and quality) i dont know what to say to you because theyre honestly really good fits

Some of them are decent fits but I think it would be pretty hard to argue that it’s dril pencil’s intention to faithfully represent the original intentions of the art with the quotes.

No offense but if editing Zen Pencils comics is your dream you have a pretty shitty dream. I like how people are totally against people stealing and repurposing peoples art until it happens to an artist that they don’t like.

No-one complained about Garfield minus Garfield; Jim Davis actually supported and produced a book for it. drilpencils doesn’t profit from Gav’s work in any way - it’s fair use, just like Garfield minus Garfield was. And it cites Zen Pencils in every post. It is within Gav’s right to request a halt as it IS still his art, but there is nothing wrong with what drilpencils is doing. They are not claiming that the art is theirs. That is stealing. drilpencils is not stealing.

Good point. Stealing was the wrong word. My only point was that Gavin totally has a right to ask him to stop, as you said, and that it should hardly be seen as preventing anyone’s “dreams.” Likewise, it would have been more than fair for Jim Davis to ask Garfield minus Garfield to stop.

jesus people are jumping on that “dream” line as if it were serious

I can see that the line is in jest but you can only invest so much time into producing any type of content without any sort of passion. Some people don’t have very ambitious dreams. Anyway I’ll admit that I probably overreacted to this but it bothers me that people are hating on Gavin for politely making a completely reasonable request.
