We called her the Rob Granito of Miami And that, it seemed, was that. Then three days ago, someone seemed to notice She amended all her posts to read "Not my original artwork" which is all fair and good Lesson learned maybe?

There was one five star review amongst them all. Brilliant idea! Very good product. Who wrote that? Rob Granito Most amusing Sadly some didn't get the joke. Stop promoting theft! I hope you are both banned~! no this is stolen work so NOT 5 stars…shame on you… Oh really? What was good about this product? The stolen artwork? I guess not everyone knows[...]

You may recall Rob Granito, a swiper extraordinaire who used to strut the lines of Comic Cons across the country selling his wares as he made up a fictional CV of working on Batman animated series and of working with many other comic book creators, all while swiping work their and selling it as if[...]

This prick is Granito-2015. Ha! I emailed the guy (there's a contact on his website), and he SWEARS these are originals…he has the ink and paper versions to prove it! The poor lad doesn't quite understand what the word "plagiarism" means He genuinely believes if he hand copies something, it becomes his own artwork[...]

Comic book artist Meghan Hetrick was tipped off by a fan of hers that British artist Gary Parkin selling a sketch cover of Evil Ernie #1 with Lady Death

We have not seen him operate since April. But out-Josh Hooping Josh Hoopes had to be David Eugene Wilson, of Logan Props. From taking cosplayer money and never fulfilling commissions, for swiping designs to eventually delivering goods that are not as promised, this is the face of the worst consumer service in cosplay on the planet. There were a few[...]

I think she needs the Granito treatment and be forced out of the comic art scene completely. Justin Williams Armchair lawyer here but…..I'm almost 100% sure her "legal disclaimer" wouldn't hold up in court The reason is that it isn't signed by any the involved parties meaning that its would be VERY hard to prove to a[...]

Rinse and repeat. Naked… with Dean Haspiel… in New York City EG: In the past, you've infamously objected to being called a "journalist." Do you still object to that title? You've recently taken Redbubble to task for selling merchandise that uses work from comic artists without credit and you've consistently targeted and taken down scams from shady[...]

Whether it's keeping tabs on Bleeding Cool's mascot/con artist Josh Hoopes or calling out t-shirt vendors selling repurposed art, Bleeding Cool has a proud history of uncovering scams and sticking up for creators' rights In this post from early 2011, Bleeding Cool introduced the world to Rob Granito and[...]

Rob Granito had a little similar trick he would pull to show his so called process Thieves are full of little gimmicks like that His process is to steal plain and simple.  I raised these issues with Florent, and he replied, Hello, I understand … I did it just for me and I haven't benefited from it all[...]

Bleeding Cool readers noticed one exhibitor at the Edmonton Expo in September, Lost Droid Arts featuring "original" oil paintings. and prints of said

And, again, cushioned well by Marvel. Winner: Joshua Hale Fialkov. Swipe Of The Year Scooping the news on Nate Stemen as he became our official Rob Granito of 2013 gave us so many swipes to choose from in the original article… and the resulting follow-ups until his apology.   There were similar problems with eBay artist Damien Bowie seeking inspiration[...]

There have been a few worthy claimants to this title… Nate Stemen is one… but I think this fellow just pips him to the post for the Rob Granito of 2013. Jeff Watkins from Syracuse, NY, owner of Cloud City Comics and Toys has been in touch This is a photograph he took at Buffalo Comic[...]

Earlier today, we ran the curious case of Nate Steman swiping work of Charles Holbert Jr, and selling them at recent comic conventions. Nate hasn't

Jonathan Glapion posted on Facebook; Will someone please explain, how could this possibly be a commission? I'm going to try not to jump the gun and go all

Seth Reedy is a comic book artist. Ish. He makes himself available for work and promotes himself readily online, taking comissions and tattoo work. But

But many have no way of cobjecting or getting recompense. Is Sean is asking who owns the copyright of all the images, the easiest answer is "not you". So what happens now? Well, social and industry pressure drove Rob Granito out of the convention business If you are interested in expressing your opinion to the London And[...]
