There's a new rip off guy in town doing the rounds, mostly on facebook, by the name of Seth Reedy. If you know of Rob Granito from a few years ago (heheh...we have a biscuit here in Oz called a "Granita" and I get weird visuals everytime I hear of Rob G...);.... well this guy is his dark sith apprentice.

Anyway, this article on BleedingCool pretty much explains and proves it all --> [link]

cheers
Sean

I know G.W. Fisher myself, he has NEVER sold his work as the work of someone else. He sells it as his own version. As an inker, I have inked things that many other inkers have done as well. Devgear does it too and so do almost all the other inkers here. It's the nature of the job. Have I at times sold prints of my inks over someone else? Yes I have because the fans demanded it. They wanted MY work over the pencils as opposed to inks by others.

That's fine. I colour other people's pics as you know...

But this guy is passing himself off as *THE* only artist. He draws, he inks... There's no one else involved.

You and devgear always give due credit to the penciller and wouldn't claim to be the 'official' inker for the published picture if you did it as a fanart thing would you..? It's as if I coloured a cover or some-such, copied pixel for pixel from the published version, or as this guy seems to be doing, not even doing that and just taking a low res published picture off google and photoshopping out the original signature, and then tried passing myself off as the official colourist for the published picture. I've never done that and have always corrected people if they have thought otherwise. Not this guy though. This guy does that. That's a subtle but rather significant difference.

I'm not commenting on Seth Reedy or Rob Granito Sean. I am simply commenting on the allegations against G.W. His inks are ENTIRELY different than Townshend's inks and as far as I know he has never claimed that his inks are Townhends. If G.W. has done that, then I am unaware and none of this matters in the end.

Saddest thing are all the folks on their saying how great his work is when it's clear the pieces are all by different people.

I could never in my life call someone elses work my own. I feel so strongly about having my own style even though I suck.

Another class act, but really- how is what he's doing any different from Greg Land's work?
