Todd Goldman an art thief?

Bulletin:

Copy and pasted from my Deviant account for those who may not have read this yet.

Like my new "original artwork" I designed. XD

By now you all have probably heard about the Todd Goldman/Dave Kelly/Roman Dirge problem that has been flying around net in the last few days.

Roman's Livejournal on the subject

Who Todd Goldman is

"When confronted with e-mails inquiring about the apparent plagiarism, Goldman replied to several people with an e-mail claiming that he painted "the works of a pedophile" every month, explicitly naming Dave Kelly as his source "this week", linking to a site containing pornography, and accusing Dave Kelly of being "a huge infantilist furry." The pornographic links were sent to minors, without any warning of the material."

How odd, since in an old interview found here Goldman says, "I'm just wacked out of my mind. Things just come to me really quickly. I have complete ADD so I've never finished a book before. I haven't really watched cartoons or read comic books. It's just my witty sense of humor and my love to draw."

Hm, must be a new marketing stragety for Goldman. I wonder if the parents of children and business' who support Goldman products would be pleased to know that they are buying and selling, in his words, 'pedo inspired' work.

What are the chances the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund can help Dave and Roman in this case against Todd? Hope he gets what's coming to him.

Anyway, thought I'd help spread the news. Spread the word, and thanks for reading. :)
