Intertextuality and Borrowed Ideas

There are a few times in my production where I have used some imagery or ideas that have been taken from other places. Some are brief and some are quite obvious:
- I took the name (overlaid with fire) Mr. B. Breegs from an Iron Maiden album cover where the name Benjamin Breeg is written on a grave stone. (see big picture below.)
Iron Maiden -- The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg
-There are various posters, art work (on hoody) and visual representations of television, heavy metal and seemingly quite random characters. For example, the Teletubbies make an appearance along with Bob the Builder, King Kong and some other characters that you may have seen on television.

All of the ideas used have been placed to entertain the intended audience and it may be that only heavy metal fans will notice these references or will find them funny.
