If you check out the Artist Unite Blog and the pictures below you will see just by reading it is B S. The person Steven Craig Chandler the Georgia Red Mud Painter who set this up has been harassing me, other artist and our love ones for years. He makes ridiculous statements he knows are not true or he would have the guts to use his own name. But I don`t want to waste my time on a useless 45 year old Child. Just this.
If you check out his post ALL the statements and replies are by him.
Check out my previous post dated 8\23\12 for the history of this person and the art he says I copied.
Here is the link

Others who have helped him or tried, me by buying some of his art and offering to try to get him into a gallery he was complaining didn`t want nothing to do with him, get screwed as he He Turns around and harasses us with lies. He even got one of his so called representivies to threaten me with B S. I Filed a complaint with the Arizona Bar association and they gave her a warning to stop. This person even tried to get me to sign up with her art registry company. You see with her and this guy it`s all about the money and fame not the true love or the arts and making it.
Well he had that Person on his web pages and ebay auctions for years stating how her organization was so good for the artist and people invested in her, and how she praised him. Well her business crumbled and she is in deep do do now with the law and many true artist who signed with her are screwed and of course this mud guy erased her name and the name of her business off all his web and advertising sights. Like a rat leaving a sinking ship
I mentioned this to him and that is when this latest post on his cowardly artist unite blog sight appeared without his real name on it
Well he posted some of my paintings with parts missing naturally and twisted the facts in the others to make it look like I copied these other paintings.
This guys big thing is to state that me and other artist copied his work which is B S and if true he would file a copy right complaint on us.
This is from a man that has sold paintings with close copies of Bill Traylors figures and animals in them and states he uses Mud to link himself to Jimmy Sudith by using his name also
He also has a real big problem with anyone reselling his art espically on ebay and has harassed them also
Anyway just check out the paintings below then check out his B S sight
He states these 2 painting his on top mine on the bottom are the same. I don`t think so. First the horses look nothing alike and if you check out my post 8\23\12 there is a video explaining this B S . That horse of mine has been around longer then him
Next He Posted only PART of this painting of mine leaving out the goat and the fact that This painting is not for sale and it was made as a statement to him as he doses allot of In the Manner of Bill Traylor paintings so the snake represented him and the Goat me as I am known sometimes as Goat man and my shop is Black Goat Folk Art. The 2nd.picture is a Bill Traylor snake. The 3rd. third picture is the complete painting of mine with the goat in it he didn`t post in his lying blog. As you can see he will do anything to twist the facts even by omitting things. By the way, He has sold paintings with Bill Traylors name in the sales listing and with the figures resembling Bill Traylors more than anything you see here
In the next 2 paintings the first one is one I did of Obama when he got elected. It was a statement that The new president was going to have a burden with the problems he was about to face. The 2nd. one is Finsters. Naturally he put the picture of my painting in small so you can not see
the total difference between the 2 and read what I wrote in mine. The paintings are completely different with the writing and the subjects holding up the world. Also The truth is Howard Finster was NOT the first to do Atlas in a painting . There were many before his. So what is this persons statement? Is he stating Howard Finster was a fraud ? Funny from a guy like This mud painter that has sold many paintings more similar than these to other artist while even putting their names in his sales and listings to get people to go to his web pages and ebay auctions.
Guess that is why he makes these false statements about everyone copying his art, to take the attention off him himself doing it.
He also states he got the idea for using mud in his paintings from his dog and or cat coming into his house with red mud on their feet while his septic tank was being repaired. REALLY ? you mean to tell me this self proclaimed Art expert NEVER heard of painting with Mud ? or Jimmy Sudduth ? Yea Right. I was paintings with mud and tar when I was 7 years old before I ever heard of any mud painters but this guy went to art school and collage and never heard of Jimmy Sudduth and the other greats painting with mud ? Yea Give use all a break.Steven,Craig Chandler the Georgia Red Mud Painter
The last pictures are just a couple of Atlas paintings made before Howard Finsters
Well there you have it. Sorry if I bored you but I am not one of those Poor artist that will take his crap out of fear. I dealt with Guys like this before. He writes about strong heroes and paints pictures of them but he himself never goes any were just stays in his little room afraid to go out and face the real world.
Just remember if you read anything about someone from a person not using his real name, Don`t believe it. Even people using their real name can exaggerate and twist the facts. Also someone telling the truth about copyrights, would have a easy time proving something like that and as you can see this person is just flat out lying while using a fake name. I am stating all this openly while using my real name.
P S I have offered many times to take a polygraph test with this guy
and I can guess you know the answer to that
ANY QUESTIONS JUST EMAIL ME Peace everyone
