Everyone says that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But if that were true, copyright law wouldn’t need to exist.

We’re discussing a couple of items that could be called homages…or could be called unfair (or even unauthorized) use (but we’ll leave that up to you): a Swatch poster from the ‘80s and The Disneyland Memorial Orgy from the '60s, two projects with colorful artwork and equally colorful backstories.

So place your order for a Rainbow Paradise, because we’re drawing unwanted attention once again here in the bar.
