love how OP cropped out Mohrbacher's sig...

But then again the artist got caught basically copying other people's work for his designs. If you go to the site there is now (there weren't previously) reference pieces by another artist he legally had to show as where he got the "inspiration" from. I have a piece of his signed and the guy actually said he dreamed of the images...

So the cycle of thievery goes on I guess.

Peter always had his own head up his ass but I can't find anything on him copying anyone. The only "reference" I see on his pieces are other artists that made works based on the angels.

Go to his page and about 40 to 50 % of his angels have another artist work right next to it. They didn't do work based on his stuff it's the original he based his on...

Google his name or the other artist.

Do you have a source for this? I couldn't find anything when I googled it. I own both Angelarium artbooks and the other artist that you seem to be referencing (Eli Minaya) is credited as a writer and contributing artist for both.

I was about to ask if prints were available but now I won't.

I mean don't let me stop you from enjoying something. I still like the guys art and he now gives proper credit I guess.

It's not like he has no skill and just straight up copied the originals but there is an obvious basis and influence.

Holy. His artwork really is great but he practically lifted each image off the inspiration pieces.
