This seems to make the most sense of all the suggestions -- even if Jon
sold it at cost for the sake of having his art enshrined in a temple
(however lesser) of art. And in his subsequent message the guy does sound
legit... However, since he apparently wants a mural, it's doubtful that he
could get very far with the small repro he has in hand, so the fact of his
*asking* is hardly much of a recommendation.
And one other thing -- let us not assume that NEW YORK companies are
shadier than others. as one respondant seems to imply. Firstly, I don't
recall any geographic tag on the fellow (who may have migrated to LA or
Houston), tho I do recall his saying he came from BOSTON.
cheers,
J.
