Some words on mountains

One indication that distance still looks our way is the brazen theft of ideas from international artists. The latest in a long line of nz exploiters is Dulux taking Ed Ruscha for a walk around the city. Here are a few other OTN posts featuring global artists being ‘homaged’ by ad agencies and designers:

Ruscha (again)
Cattelan
Rembrandt
Kruger

…and in the New Zealand division:

McCahon
Parekowhai (not really, but a big OTN favourite copycat)
