Hi Marvin,
Great post. Scary that an artist with a reputation to uphold would even consider this sort of deceit. What is there to stop them from black mailing the artist in the future.
It's kind of like when an artist accepts accolades for the drawing in a portrait that has been projected from a photo and traced. Once again, accepting the benefits (monetary or awards) from work not performed.
I have received some pretty dicey emails of this sort in the past too. I just shrugged it off and deleted but maybe I should have thought of posting too. Thank you for sharing this with us and taking a stand that this sort of practice is unacceptable.
Always pleased to read through your posts.
Clayton
