Speed Racer/Porsche on Ebay... for you art collectors

[LeeH]

I posted this to the recent art discussion, but felt it deserved its own thread:

$900 for a Speed Racer rip-off with a couple of Porsche logos painted in? Bleh. I can do a better job with Photoshop and a plotter with E-Sheet paper.

And WTH is a "prominent mid-career artist"?

Yeah, but it's 44" wide by 60" tall!

"mid career artist" means he ain't dead yet.

and "prominent" means he's a legend in his own mind.

He spelled Porsche "PORCHE" three times in the ad, even though the picture of the item in the add has Porsche spelled correctly.

Mid-career probably means he's still in school --- High School, that is.

For once, I hope the Porsche sicks their copyright lawyers on this fellow.
