Go, Read: Let’s All Be Careful Out There

Caitlin McGurk of the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum has an interesting post here about art on eBay claiming to be original Calvin & Hobbes strips. While making clear the Billy isn't in the business of appraising art in any way, and that her post is no substitute for seeking that out, she uses a few examples to suggest that it might behoove those finding an art buy too good to be true to be very, very careful. We live in an age where a lot of people have a lot of basic art skills, and a significant subset of those people know how to use digital in ways that might obscure the provenance of art they'd like you to buy for what it resembles rather than what it is.
