JC Leyendecker, Saturday Evening Post

Alex Garner, Irrational Games' Bioshock Infinite.

 

 

For THE STING's movie poster (detail right, 1973), Amsel's design paid homage to the painting syle of J.C. Leyendecker, and evoked both Leyendecker's "Arrow Collar Man" (left) and his beloved Saturday Evening Post covers. Leyendecker's technique is extremely difficult for even skilled painters to emulate; Amsel was in his mid twenties when he did it.

having several pieces of comic artwork that were direct and indirect rip-offs of other

artists such as John Byrne, George Perez and more.

There are also several other damning accusations of fraud laid out.

According to messages posted on the FACEBOOK page, Granito has been banned from all WizardWorld conventions.
