# I think that, when the starting point for someone's work on an image is not explicitly stated,
it is common to assume that it was started 'from scratch'.

JPG, as I think this sort of assumption is quite common, could I suggest that a lot of misunderstanding could be avoided by pointing out -- when you post -- if that isn't the case?

Adding that information doesn't make the result anything less to appreciate. Omitting it causes rather a shock, on the occasions when it turns out that the assumption was wildly wrong.

(FWIW, I think it equally applies to images traced from photos, or with colours sampled from a photo -- when looking at a work (ooh, get me), it really helps to understand what it's built on).

EDIT: ...This is all so weird. Perhaps there is some other explanation. Perhaps JPG is unaware that these are all pre-published works in the gallery? Perhaps the parameters / code / whatever are listed -- unattributed -- in some other place that JPG found (like a manual or tutorial or something)?

I really thought that http://b3ta.com/board/9401211 was all JPG's invention. Am I stupid for not 'just knowing' that this is (apparently) Lagroue's rendering (gallery 53) of Akiyoshi's 'rollers' illusion? It's not half a bump coming down to earth from that one.
