He probably isn't. Of course, this is illegal, but i guess most of us feel somewhere inside of us that its a problem of the art market / art valuation when one guy's painting is worth millions while when another guy with at least as much talent makes a painting in his style its worth nothing unless he lies about who made it. Not trying to say its great that he's doing this nor trying to encourage more people to do it, but i can understand the moral justification behind it. Totally different from stealing, robbing, murdering and raping. Kind of like how most of us can bring up respect for the people who manage to cheat the casino.

I would love this! I am sad my dad could stick around this world to see this. I heard him talk many times about his envy of forgers, and he reminded me of what had stopped being required of students by the 70s - the importance of copying the masters. That you could eventually no help showing your own hand. BTW, Dad was born in a tenement in Detroit, his 2 siblings died of the cold. He would sneak out and watch Diego Rivera paint the murals in the Detroit Institute, and one day looked up through the scaffolding and said, :"Hy! Mister! That's pretty GOOD!" and Rivera there rags at him and said Go AWAY little boy!!". After the war, he went to the Philadelphia MOA and - long story short - had to support a family and when he retired, he went back to painting. 3 of his cowboy pieces were chosen for a show at the Louvre to celebrate American Artists In Paris for the US Bicentennial. He always felt he was a failure, but hello...? The Louvre!! haha

You can pick an image from a book and have any tattooer do an okay job. But if all you have is a simple idea, what you need is an actual tattoo artist to make the idea reality.

My mum was an art teacher. Back in the 80's her colleague ,Mick, taught art to the prisoners in Strangeways in the evenings. One of the prisoners who he dealt with was in for art forgery (wondering if it might even be this bloke?). Mick also had a connection to the BBC in Manchester. He got a wedding invite from a producer (or director? Someone flash at the time, possibly iirc conected to Coronation Street) and was dismayed at the level of presents on the wedding list as the couple were using it to set themselves up in their new house (washing machine/King size bed etc etc). One thing caught his eye though, an Edwardian watercolour! He decided that he would have a go at painting one of those. He took advice from the forger on how to do this, and with some help from my mother as well on style/technique/composition, produced a painting then set about aging it (lemon juice and heated in a tin in an oven?) a period correct frame bought from a junk shop and nails aged in his garden etc. The couple were delighted with the painting, it was the one present, said Mick, that all the guests seemed to focus on amongst all the expensive stuff and no one seemed to have any doubts about it, not even Mick's wife whom he hadn't let in on the secret. Some months later Mick got a phone call, it was the husband who very apologetically mentioned that he'd been asked to submit something to a charity auction. He explained that since they were still setting up their life together he didn't really have anything suitable apart from the Edwardian watercolour, as much as they'd hate to lose it, would Mick be upset if he donated it? Mick could only agree that it was their's to do with what grey wanted/good cause... and hoped nothing would happen to get him in trouble. He found out later that it was appraised/valued for £500 and sold for £1000

Fascinating story to say the least. To replicate a masterwork requires knowledge of technique , medium and color synthesis with no variation to the original. His observational skills in his minds eye transmitted to his hand eye coordination to reproduce every stroke flawlessly are superior. I would suggest purchasing one of his legitimate originals because artists of his caliber are few and far between.
