The art in this work is not in the creation of a unique image from scratch, but in the creative manipulation of an existing one.

Any way you look at it, the bottom line is that it is art... moreso than some ORIGINAL works I've seen (e.g. stealthcow's homepage).

By your arguement, stealthcow, manipulation of a photo by someone else would also be a rip (note other entries in this and previous contests)... a photograph of a ladybug would be a rip of Mother Nature.... a sculpture that uses pieces of a car is a rip of Ford Motor Company!!!

The truth is, the concept and final product are all that count in artwork. Anyone who says differently puts his credibility on the line.
