Art theft is a common enough event on the internet, but who knew any one could plagiarise work so blatantly? Or make money off of it, for that matter.
Todd Goldman, the "creator" of the David & Goliath design series was recently featured in a Los Angeles fine art gallery. It may seem sad enough that stick figures with cutesy slogans are now considered "fine art" but highly so many skilled artists are ignored. Unfortunately, it's far worse than that. Many of Goldman's designs aren't just "borrowed" from others, they're direct copies. The victims list includes the webcomic "Purple Pussy", Roman Dirge's Lenore, the Neko computer program, and even Disney's SchoolHouse Rock cartoon.
Think that's bad? Just wait until you see how much he makes from his theft. Wikipedia reports that Goldman's site also sends an e-mail which libels the creator of "Purple Pussy" and directs minors to pornographic content without warning.
