Similarities anyone?

Earlier this month I posted about the Thomas Han flyer that I felt resembled Miss Van's artwork much too closely.

In a similar vein, I found a post about the Portuguese artist Susana Romão on NotCot.org and I have to say that she took Seonna Hong's character exactly as it appears on Seonna's 2006 painting 'A Bear of a Bear'. She changed the dress to red, as the dress appears on the painting 'Self Defeating'.

These kinds of works should not go unnoticed. If she was trying to pay homage to Seonn'a characters, then credit should have been given.

Thomas Han looking a little like Miss Van?

I don't usually post about things like this, but I am such a huge Miss Van fan that I wanted to bring it up and see what you guys thought. The new flyer for Thomas Han's show at Corey Helford Gallery instantly reminded me of Miss Van. There are several aspects that are reminiscent- the wolf cloak headress, the spear, the pierced stomach- it's definitely a different style than Miss Van but thematically it's a little similar! What do you think?

*Update*
Please know what I am myself a Thomas Han fan, and I in no way intended for this post to be cause any offense. I simply noticed similarities and decided to mention it. I completely understand that we as artists are inspired and influenced by other artists- of course we are! I wouldn't have this blog if I wasn't inspired by others every single day. I simply wanted to point out that there were several thematic differences between the flyer promoting this show and the paintings of Miss Van.
