Plagiarist

I walk through Leicester square quite often when going to work in London and for a while now I've been seeing a certain caricaturist who sets up his stall there. "His" displayed works show cartoons of film stars such as James Dean, Roger Moore, Steve McQueen, Jack Nicholson, etc. and are really quite impressive. However...they're not his own drawings, but of a guy called Jean Mulatier whose book I happen to own, which of course is the same book this phoney has taken his photocopies from. I have no connection with Mulatier, but after reading the foreword he's written in his book, saw that he is strongly passionate about his work, and that's enough to know nobody should touch it. After seeing this guy set up in the square for months on end my blood couldn't curdle any longer, so one day my mate Milly, a video camera, the book, and myself went to pay him a little visit.

This was filmed a few years ago, since then i have been back a couple of times, the newer busts are a lot funnier, included in my new show 'Stronzo'..coming soon!

yeah like walking out of a porsche showroom with a triumph. I'd be happy

[gatomardo]

I sencirely apologize for my previous comment, which I already removed. I was unexcusable rude. You are right, my friend : this guy stole someone else's work.

[douggypledger]

don't cry gatomardo. Go back and do some tracings

[misa729]

why are you doing this? why are you bothering someone's job? are you having fun? if this guy lost his job because of this, are you happy? i cannot believe you video!

The fact that this guy uses Youtube makes him a copyright thiev himself. Thank god, it hasn't been stoped yet but, youtube routinely infringes copyright laws by making otherwise payable material freely available. And..do you think his music and film collection is all paid for ??? Don't you use Limewire?? or similar sofware?? I'd love to take a look at your PC. but unlike this poor guy in the street your private PC can't be videoed.

I´ve been doing street live caricatures when i started caricaturing and i know its a hard work, i can even understand his needs but copying some others work is low level. you can also see a lot of plagiarism in Madrid where they copy Vizcarra, in Paris they copy Opdebeeck and Kruger.

[Sohokat]

Yeah, like you have never illegally downloaded music or films, in fact many videos shown in here are someones copyright and indeed not meant to be available for free.

So don't pick on this guy trying to make a living and take a good look at your self.

You should have just contacted the publisher if you were so concerned with the millions this guy is stealing from the real artist.
