  • This guy plagiarizes all of his ideas! Look at Terry Turrel, Matt Sesow, Gabriel Shaffer, Terry Cannon and Athlone Clarke, you will see where hes getting his art from.He is an industry created artist, Marcia Weber, a prominent folk art dealer, manufactured him from the beginning, to fit a certain mold.Anyone who has seen his early works knows this to be true. Sorry to bust the bubble, but the truth is still the truth. Hes lying to everyone.
