- chaosium, on 10/12/2007, -2/+51The piece was blatantly ripped from artist and animator Dave Kelly AKA Shmorky
- chaosium, on 10/12/2007, -6/+37"You dumb *****. I'm not saying the original artists of photoshop phriday are theifs. Lowtax is a thief because he takes art from the forums, puts his watermark on them, posts them on the front page, and gets paid for it. Without the orginal artists' consent or knowledge."
Sweet jesus you're retarded. Have you even submitted anything for the Photoshop Phriday?
It's created by his forums users and with their full and complete knowledge. - retrocrush, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24Countdown before eBaum slaps his name on that picture....
- Ninjers, on 10/12/2007, -6/+30Taking an image and editing it is stealing art? It's not like they claimed they made the original image. Get your head out of your ass before you comment.
- SteamyV, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21Every time I see someone in the Goon community either wronged/screwed/otherwise I get excited about the impending retaliation.
Really, I just want something to top the P-P-P-Powerbook, assuming that's possible. - Shookies, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20Plagiarism is not cool. Making money off plagiarism is double not cool. I wonder if this guy will choose road a) public apology and share any profits pertaining to the stolen work or b) route of the mythical douche bag.
- EKinnee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17The blatant theft of an idea from another artist who is trying to make it is quite sad. Depending on the response of Todd Goldamn/Goliath, Dave Kelly should contact either a lawyer or all of the Galleries Todd's work is displayed in.
- steger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16My girlfriend was the one that emailed the artist (Shmorky). Todd seems to rip off a lot of other artists too. I even saw the gallery (which is at the Grove in LA ,near LACMA). I thought it was the original artists selling but now I am mistaken. This guy is a douche.
- cheeseron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16FyreDank is Todd Goldman!
- wmcheesemaster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16what a jerkface
- trenchfoot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15HEY GUYS I AM FYREDANK
I AM A PERMABANNED USER WHO HAS IRRATIONAL HATRED OF LOWTAKKKS
I WAS PROBABLY BANNED EITHER FOR BEING A FURRY OR FOR CAUSING DRAMA - manifestdata, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Makes sense this guy acts like this. FyreDank means ***** in dutch.
- pr0k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13what a HUGE jerkface
edit: lol google ads on this page for his t-shirts and crap - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14what's more noteworthy about this is that cutesy little cartoon ACTUALLY GOT WALL SPACE IN A GALLERY?
jesus christ, anymore it seems like the Juxtapoz gang will put up anything with a cliche in it
is it like ironic that it's ironic that it's ironic or what? so hard to keep count.
that scene was so awesome in the beginning, now it's just a bunch of imitators imitating imitators
sooooo stale - Enfenestrate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12I'm betting that he'll take the douche bag route.
Even if he takes down the offending piece(s), I can't imagine that there will be a public apology. - kidjay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12this guy was always displayed in a gallery at the Grove in L.A. right near where I used to work.
i always thought of his stuff as trite and masturbatory. its like he's slapping real artists in the face by selling a 48x48 stick figure of a ***** table with a lamp on it for 900 dollars.
now i hope he gets sued into oblivion. piece of crap. - evilTak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Mythical? I assure you, douche bags are quite real.
- jimmsta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11What a piece of ***** 'Todd' is.
- McTendo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Stop posting, FyreDank. No one is falling for your act.
- chaosium, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Goliath also ripped off Roman Dirge's Lenore for one of his characters.

http://www.davidandgoliathtees.com/index.php?mode=HCDE - DrunkMage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10This guy seems to rip off most of his *****. I wonder if he understands the word "original." No wait, he's witty and spontaneous and doesn't read comics! (just rips them off)
- moralgriever, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Awwww somebody has a grudge here, FyreDank. I've visited SA site for years, and I have never seen a single photoshop that didn't mention who made it. I've been a member if that site for the same amount of time, and I have never, not even once, come across a single thread of somebody complaining. That you have a grudge here doesn't mean you can just go RAWRGH RANT RANT RANT here. And Tuzziel, it has been proven that Shmorky made that cartoon years ago for a comic.
- Handre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Well all one needs is a confirmation on the date of "Todd's" piece and we'll know, won't we? I'm pretty sure Shmorky didn't base an entire webcomic of a stupid painting by some *****.
- Senso, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Oh yeah, the famous "Five Different Things" law. Huhuh. So I guess I'll just go ahead and record a White Stripes album but with 5 changed notes and I'll be rich in no time.
Or I'll rewrite Harry Potter but change the names of five characters. - rustedrazor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8He ripped some t-shirt-ideas from tshirthell.com as well, and made them all lame and censored.
- Handre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Yeah a guy making money in the art world with plagarism sure is THE OLD INTERNET.
Btw next time you write an essay, feel free to copy and paste anything from the internet your teacher will just say
"/me shrugs
Well it is the internet. Where everything is up for grabs!" - metadefumaca, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7This guy probably has pressure to produce multiple designs, and perhaps the old imagination well is running a bit dry. He should have looked into who he was going to rip off before doing it.... Surely not even god himself would purposefully unleash the sound and the fury of the goons. ***** Todd Goliath and the horse he rode in on.
- KickTheBobo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I'm kinda wondering how much Lenore was influenced by Wednesday Addams & the work of Edward Gorey.
Goldman is a chump, nevertheless - Handre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7People post it on HIS forums and their names are displayed with the images and they know perfectly well that it can be put up on the frontpage. If they are too dumb to realise that then they are the same people who autoban themselves.
- GWBBQ, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9FyreDank, you suck at trolling.
- Cymoro, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Do you have any specific examples? I'm sure that every photoshop there can be accounted for. *****, I have a photoshop put up there as well. The thread that I submitted it to said they were going on the front page, and it did get put up there with me credited.
- fishmecha, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7that makes no sense whatsoever
- moralgriever, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9"Excellent argument. If wannabe pedophile ***** Shmorky didn't want his work stolen, he shouldn't have posted it on the internet, SMARTYPANTS!
So let me get this straight, Ebaum scours the internet for "teh funny", steals people's hard work and gets rich off it. Lowtax scours the forums for "teh funny", steals people's hard work and gets rich off it. Ebaum = bad. Lowtax = good."
Let's see. Shmorky has said he did that furry on comision years ago (post made in the SA thread). The article in the encyclopedia dramatica reeks of hatred towards goons and Shmorky by asociation, so it's pretty biased and not that trustful. Ebaum doesn't ask for permision and takes stuff from everywhere, deletes any watermark it may have, and puts his. Lowtax uses the content of HIS FORUMS, made my goons that know their work may end up in the front page, and Loxtax always credits who made each image.
I fail to see any validity in your arguement here. What Todd and Ebaum do is gain profit without giving credit to the authors of the works used. I don't see how Lowtax falls into that category, as he does ask the goons for permision and he credits them. - Handre, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8"Excellent argument. If wannabe pedophile ***** Shmorky didn't want his work stolen, he shouldn't have posted it on the internet, SMARTYPANTS!

You honestly can't see the difference between having your work displayed with credit on the frontpage of the forum you posted it on and having your work displayed without credit on a site you have NOTHING to do with? If so you are a dumb, worthless piece of *****. - pongjinn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Uh what? You admire them for being GOOD AT PLAGIARISM?
- moralgriever, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11It's incredible how people don't pay attention. I wonder if this idiot has ever seen that Lowtax ALWAYS MENTION who made each photoshopped image he uses for the phridays.
- TexMurdockDDS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The fact that this guy has been quoted in interviews as saying "I'm just crazy" and "i don't watch cartoons/read comics" makes me want to spit in his face. Not only is he a blatant thief, but he's a talentless hack and a self-obsessed, smarmy scumbag to boot.
- ezweave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I remember going out to that gallery at the Grove two summers ago and saw his work... I swear there were two or three I had seen elsewhere, but I didn't have a camera on me.
I hate to be so crass, but nail his balls to the wall. - Charron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7And yet the edit message "so-and-so ***** around with this post" stays the same. Ah, irony.
- slowdowns, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6You poor freethinking martyr. Your comments aren't buried because you're edgy or controversial, it's because you're a goddamn retard.
- PlaidPhantom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Anyone who's seriously drawn, written or otherwise made anything creative should care about this. What Todd Goliath did is a slap in the face to that effort.
- soapyshoes, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10Does anyone really get mad at all when their image was used for a Photoshop Phriday? ARG MY IMAGE WAS USED ON THE FRONT PAGE OF A SITE THAT I REALLY LIKE, ARRGGGGHHH
if anything, i'd be honored. Plus, everyone gets credited for it anyway. - knaps, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Actually, Einstein said it best.
"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."
So Toddykins is definitely NOT creative by this definition. Actually he isn't creative by any definition. He's just an asshat who I hope gets what's coming to him. It amazes me how blatant he is with that picture. It's like, you'd have to actually work hard at being more obvious than that. He did everything short of calling up Shmorky and saying what he did. - cookiebearo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7it took me a while to figure out what you were saying, until i realized that you probably meant "fewer" not "less"
- BrainGlitch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Oh jesus, Todd. Die.
- ximfinity, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I see some other similarities in his work and others I've seen...

and
http://www.threadless.com/product/167/Nuts - tombom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Rude words are regularly spread in den of inequity
so dirrrtttyy..... - ohjolene, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I ***** hate his merchandise I thought it was created by a bitter feminazi TBH.
People who are voting it down because of SA can suck Todd's dick. Even without the SA connection, what Todd's doing is ***** digusting. Stop being bitter whiny bitches just because you got banned for being retards. - DrunkMage, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6You just need an account then all that ***** goes away.
