Artist Paul Richmond has been ripped off. A man on eBay has been reproducing his rather identifiable oil paintings (they're male cheesecake, but don't call them beefcake—try cheesesteak) and selling them. Once eBay inexplicably refused to close the man's account, Richmond embarked upon a hysterical effort to document, fuck with and shame the man stealing his work in a campaign that must be read to be believed—it's equal parts Last House on the Left and 27b/6. Even if you wind up hating Richmond's technique, you'll fall in love with his style.
All kidding aside, Mr. Richmond, please—sue eBay. For all of us.
