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.

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

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

The Caravaggio copy is very impressive. Caravaggio used to paint using optics, that is he used convex mirrors to reflect the image he wanted to paint on to the canvas, a character at a time. That is how he got the amazing phot realistic look.

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.

This was great fun to watch. I used to be a fan of the Art forger Tom Keating when I was a kid .he was a very different type of man but had the same talent. . I love fakers of any kind they show up the pretentions of the know-it-alls. I do hope this guy writes his autobiography. That old world of London characters fascinates me.
