Don't get me wrong I love flounders art and like the idea of getting something back for what you put into it (emotional, monetary, celebrity,ect...). Just my interpertation of things over a cup of coffee. In this case I really don't care. I painted a still life of something that was already created by another. In a way I have ripped someone else's creativity off. My wahine was the one who told him that he could not make copies. If someone took one of my original paintings and tried this you can be sure that I would nip it in the bud. If it was legal to reproduce a painting you had bought from let's say Shag well he probably wouldn't sell it in the first place. The reason is because he makes more money off the prints than the original . Just think about it.
