The original story is here.

The site that it was created is: The YPF. You can click 'news' to read a bit more of what happened.

I did not create the original, just the drawing. I wanted to share.

Here is the original:

Here is my drawing:

Edit: the images look best in the other forum since they downsized them slightly to fit the screen, so check 'em out there first.

I think that is really neat....im a sucker for marine shit...and creativity, I love the concept of the whole thing, I just wish more detail went into their end, but nonetheless a lovely overall piece of art.

PS: Here is my beautiful fish :P

Your drawing was bad. It's just a copy of it, except that it's missing colours and the right shape.

It looks like you drew it with a poop.

It's pretty bad. Why did you post this?

Because it is a meaningful piece of creativity that touched my heart. It defines 'art'. My piece was just a homage to the original. A way of saying how much it meant to me. It is how I viewed it, and how I could keep it for myself. It's a shame that so few of you saw that to be honest...but c'est la vie. Read the thread and try and understand what it means to me and then look at it the pictures again. You might see something more.

I did read the story, what someone had a picture of a fish and it got stolen and that touched you? If that touched you, start living in the real world and seeing the bigger picture, people sacrifice themselves by not eating so there children can live another day, that's touching, not a, frankly not that amazing, picture of a fish.

The first picture of the fish was stolen from him and he made this one.

It's pretty crappy man.

Well gee I never thought of it that way.

I think the dictionary sums up "art" a little better than your definition. What with your idea being complete nonsense.

You copied an ok picture, but your version was lame as all hell. That's not art, that's just being shit at copying.
