That is blatant plagerisim. Someone with a lot of skill went to an awful lot of trouble to do that. Why? Why not just say "I painted a copy of Mark Ryden's Exotica and now I want to unload it." ? Everything might (might, I say) have been cool. They don't mention Ryden, in fact—they don't even mention themselves (warning flags with flares). Screw mentioning it to ebay—someone should tell Ryden. That's just wrong. What a mis-use of talent. Ryden's ebay work I notice they took care to get a few things not quite right.
