Charlie, I'm not sure what your point is, but if it's what I believe it to be, you're missing alot of points. I'd rather not debate what is and is not art, what is mine, what is yours, etc., etc. What I will do is tell you this ... those images that this person is claiming that he created ... he did not. They are my intellectual property ... they came from my head, they have my hand in them, my paint strokes, my colors, my ideas, my technical knowledge, etc., etc. They ARE NOT his, they are MINE. I've sold two prints of this particular piece, and one day I plan to be able to make a living doing what I love to do. And yes, he is a thief and liar, just as someone would be who stole this 3D piece you just posted. If someone wrote me today and asked if they could use this image on their website for something and would give me a credit and a link, I'd more than likely be glad to give them permission to do so. But I will not stand by and allow someone to claim what is mine as their own.
