So is the gist of this story that Churchill copied other's work and sold it as his own?

Yes, don't know if he has his own forgeries hanging in his home or not but wouldn't be surprised.

He reversed the one picture in question that brought the issue up. That FR thread I linked has others that have been found originally done by somebody else that Churchill copied and signed his name to.

Somebody on the thread posted that copying artwork in the public domain is done all the time by artists and is no problem. But copying a modern artist is a whole different story. And a poster on wretchard's blog stated that copying American Indian artwork or artifacts and passing them as genuine is a federal crime, although I have no idea if that's true.

Churchill also became violent and physically assaulted the News4 cameraman or reporter who tried to ask him about the story. The transcript of the incident is on wretchard's blog Belmont Club.

Typical leftist reaction.

Night all.

He sold his forgeries...that's how all this came about.

Some man (who was named) lives in Churchill's area, and collects native American art, and bought at least two pieces from Churchill-----then recently discovered the mirror image of one in an artbook by the original artist.
