I've certainly been tempted to post my ancient attempts to reverse-engineer Frank's paintings. Mostly to show how great his paintings are, not mine (as they would clearly prove) ; )
But there have been enough people ahead of me doing that already.
I met Boris, once, many years ago. A new guy on the illustration scene, I was a bit rankled that he would so clearly step on Frank's territory. But he was just trying to do what many of us wanted; to carry the torch into the next generation.
Whether its new to us or not, there are always new people and they like the feeling that the subject is newly discovered/invented even if it is only being experienced by themselves.
At least, that's always been true for me and I'm just like other people. : )
