I can't say I'm surprised at all about this stealing art stuff...At the NYC "Big Apple" cons, there were always people stealing other peoples work and selling it as there own, claiming to be working for Warner Brothers or something...I remember watching one guy selling a JLA print he "did" for "Warner Bros" stores for years.If he actually had done such a piece, they would never have allowed him to sell copies at a con. The guys who run the shows didn't know how to check creds I guess.

Sad thing is, I've seen "legit" creators in the biz swipe other pros in the actual comics they create "professionally" for Marvel, DC and others. Some of these swiping artists have gone on to very lucrative and powerful positions in the real biz, their swiping getting "swiped" under the rug. I've even had my work swiped in a pro comic. This poor pathetic excuse for an artist is going to make a few hundred at a con, but some guy who ripped on Frank Miller in a Marvel comic has gone on to huge success having his own publishing companies and regularly working to this day in the mainstream with the major publishers...It's the big guys who rip off that we need to worry about ...not this pathetic guy who can't even write a complete sentence. Honestly, this guy is a waste of time
