I understand your point, and you are correct that artists have swiped from each other for centuries. I do disagree with your definition of "swipes" including photo- or model reference. If you don't draw what you see... what do you draw. The masters used models. Many of the great comic artists used photos and models for reference... Raymond, Williamson, Frazetta. Are they all swipes? Regardless, the only reason someone would swipe from them was that they were so well done and inspired someone else to copy the image!

I am the SAME your opinion about artists and models. What I noted is that in one book about the art of Gillette Elvegreen there is a photo of one of his model near one of his painting (see it in my gallery), but that painting was "ispired" by the photo of Mara and NOT by the photo of his model published in the book (!)
