Since I got breakdown of computot, I forgot to add more to this!

Is this the way now to be: arrests of Fine Art Artists, like the one who had done that famous Obama image?

Any more news on this! And that?

Artiste, we know that the Obama poster artist, Shepard Fairey, has been arrested before. We shall post information as we learn more.

In the meanwhile, I will say that there are some young artists, some now famous, some not, who use false  names for this reason, to avoid arrest--like the very well-known Britsh artist, BANKSY, and the up and coming New York artist,  SWOON--if you do not know, by the way, SWOON is a she.

Merci beaucoup jmmgallagher !

I am grateful of your post and information!

Now, I know! But that is one way!

However, there is a law which is to be created (maybe now passed) that will not allow
an artist painter, as an example, tiokeep the rights on his/hers creation,
did you hear?

That in the USA to me is DANGEROUS!!!
