The "harassment" directed toward this artist is not because of ideology (as some charge) but rather because she failed to provide quality product for the money she received for her work. It is absolutely not acceptable to present a finished work of art for public display in perpetuity that has many substantial gross misspellings of commonly known names. If she is a "serious" artist, ie. professional, it is incumbent on her to make sure her work is free from errors. If she knows she has a problem with spelling, as many people do, then she needs to look up these names in reference books or get someone else to proofread them. This is really not too much to ask of anyone providing goods or services for profit.

"This is really not too much to ask of anyone providing goods or services for profit."

40,000 bucks is fair market value for this piece. She delivered the piece under a contract wherein the work cannot be altered without the artist's permission. She thinks it's O.K. and I agree with her. The deal is done. Join the grammar police here and vote kerry, the grammitically correct empty suit. Give me Texasisms, primitive mispelled art and solid clear thinking anyday.
