Robert Channing Lifted an image of my painting of Lady Liberty that I have been painting since 2004 from my website and represents it as his own work as well as that of Speed Painter Tim Decker and the late great speed painter Denny Dent.
This is a pixel to pixel copy where the drips and splatters match my version that I created and have sold prints of to cleints since 2007.
He is going on America's Got Talent and is representing himself as a speed painter. He is an artist and could easily have painted his own versions but he chose to infringe on my copyright instead. A crime punishable by a year in prison if convicted.
If you are an event planner, please know that there are other rip off reports on him for not showing up at gigs, followed by rebuttals vouching for his character. If he steals from me, he will steal from you or at the very least, you should question whether he can deliver the goods on stage for you or even show up if the other report is valid.
I have never met him or spoken to him and only found out about him when I was notified that he was stealing my work.

Robert Channing had posted my work as well as the work of two other artists on his site and it looked as if he was representing them as his own. He was contacted by a mutual friend and has replaced out work with his own. Thank you Ribert for doing the right thing when it was brought to your attention.

A friend of Robert's contacted me and was able to mediate between us and my art was removed from his website. Which is all I wanted. Should not have been there to begin with but I am glad that it is not there now.
Cheers.
