Well, in a recent perusal of the Saatchi Collection online, I spotted this artwork by Scott King from 2008! Who's ripping off who? Hmmm.

well now you know why he didn't want to be photographed.
What happened to your Hampton House photo?
While we're talkin' ripping off, of course Scott King is riffing on the iconic Che Guevera graphic by Alberto Korda that someone Shepard Fairey-ized (i.e. made another's photo into art—I'm trying to avoid using the word "appropriated").

There's one with Chewbacca, too:

Do you think anyone's made a Cherbacca yet? Cher meets Che meets Chewie: the ultimate mashup!
