Coming soon to EBay: First hand painted artwork by me, NYC_SKP.


 It's first hand painted by me.


First hand painted artwork by me, NYC_SKP. Everyone has been asking what I have been doing with myself. I found a creative, way to express myself, my emotions and the symbols that represent my experiences. My art work allows me to reflect, providing a therapeutic outlet and allows me to remain indoors I hope you enjoy owning this piece as much as I enjoyed creating it. Your friend, NYC_SKP

Stay indoors? Really? That had to probably take maybe 15 minutes on photoshop.  And they consider themselves the creative class.

Skippy's spending more time indoors because he's embarrassed that the only shirts he owns have straight seams, which he wears untucked outside of his pants, exaggerating a paunch.

No satorial genius, Skippy.

Thanks for your question, The paint was donated to me by a great friend (C.D.), as far as I know it is regular household latex paint. I know its not the fanciest, but it is what we had and I needed to put these visions onto the blank canvas as soon as possible. Your friend, NYC_SKP @therealNYC_SKP

Not watercolors, not oils, donated latex paint. :whatever: Don't these people pay for ANYTHING?

Oh no.

Skippy's going to get it, in the awards coming up starting next week.

Please please please let him make top ten.

And once again, a DUmpmonkey proves that people who have/want everything handed to them have absolutely no sense of the value of anything. :thatsright:

(By the way: you'll notice this twit SAYS it's worth $100k, but she, like the rest of the DUmbasses, isn't pulling out the checkbook to SHOW how much she tinks it's worth. Just remember, Skippy, "DUmmies lie; all the time, DUmmies lie" - and they don't all of a sudden become honest when speaking to another DUmbass.)

Nota Bene:  By "Painted Artwork", I mean something downloaded from the Internet and manipulated with free software.  No paint is involved.  Not even house paint.

This is a graphic creation using freely available software.  The winning bid will be provided the highest quality JPEG file and a letter of authenticity signed by Jerry the Tapir and NYC_SKP.  Happy to answer any questions.  Good luck with your bidding!

Holy crap I thought you had "fixed" his description, but it was an exact quote.

Is he allowed to exclude residents from a certain state, or does that violate ebay's rules?

I'm starting to think he is screwing with us and this is some kind of prank.

Wow - this dude is one stupid bitch.

It seems Zimmerman may have made a painted copy of what seems to be a stock photo, just done in different colors, and he is trying to sell it on Ebay. Under Clinton's DMCA, that work will probably be declared as 'derivative', and a violation of copyright.


So, Skippy decided he would also make a derivative work, and also sell it on EBay. - and the way he presented it would prevent it from falling under fair use as satire, especially if Skippy used a photo of Zimmerman holding the painting as the basis of his work, just like Zimmerman did with his flag.

Skippy's Stupid Bitchness confirmed.

I went to the Zimmerman auction, and located the photo he copied.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/George-Zimmerman-original-painting-/111239922810

The irony is that Zimmerman can now sue Skippy's ass off, which will be useful if Shutterstock does the same thing to Zimmerman for the same reason.

Actually, Zimmerman is going to get hammered.

Shutterstock images, if purchased, can be used for any commercial application that does not involve resale of the image, and specifically prohibits creating a derivative in the form of a painting that Zimmerman did.

I have tracked down the real artist, and have sent him an email. While I sympathize with Zimmerman to a point, I don't condone theft. By the way, when I purchase and use stock photos in my own derivatives, it is covered under "fair use" since I'm not profiting directly, nor are the websites profiting, and Shutterstock specifically allows it.

The artist comes from Awen Art Studio, located in Europe.

Incidentally, Zimmerman can NOT go after SKP_NYC, but Awen can if they want, though I doubt that the amount of money would be worth it.

So Skippy takes a picture of Zimmerman holding up his "painting," Skippy writes his own name on the painting, and puts it on ebay.

OK. Whatever.

I dont think any of us missed the point of the thread and the auction.

Skippy-

You attempted to create a piece to satire Zimmerman's painted version of a stock photo he is selling, by reproducing his auction description nearly word for word. You then listed the artist as Jerry The Tapir, We are aware of the video you posted on DU sometime last year.

What you dont seem to get is you have put yourself in harm's way by also creating a derivative work based on a copyrighted stock photo, The terms of which strictly forbid the image being manipulated or reproduced in any way for profit.

You also took a photo of Zimmerman himself without permission, while plagiarizing his auction description. In other words, you are also selling a derivative work of Zimmerman's for profit. - Even though you claim you are going to donate the proceeds to charity, Clinton's DMCA still forbids it , assuming the copyright holder's express interest in enforcing their rights.

Check the details with a couple of DU's ninja lawyers if you don't believe me.   

Zimmerman = Idiot.
You = Bigger idiot.
