[ Rainman Artwork ]

Mmm, interesting. I often wondered if there was a connection between Rainman and Redman... and if he realized he could make more money in mass production rather than a small handful of overpriced customs...

 

[abake]

I always admired Rainman's (somewhat stylised) work, but never had the money or inclination to buy any of his figures.
Does this mean there will be no more Rainman customs?

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

Rainman will still be working, but the "Rainman Artworks" brand is up for sale, so the door is open for someone else to exploit his reputation. This is quite a bitter dissolution of a business partnership. Obviously.

As for Redman, the only connection is that Redman recasts works by others and releases them as their own. Their clothing sets are also copied from others' efforts.

 

[blackpool]

Going that way with easy connections the great majority of custom artists take the licensed or copyrighted work from movies and TVshows and release it as their own...

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

Yes, and someone raises that point every time a recaster is identified. It's very boring. We all get it.

I just find confusing that copies and recasts are praised on one side when it's about copying big companies, mostly hot toys, but it becomes a deadly sin when it's going the other way... That childish vision of things is boring in fact.

Okay
So the artist behind the Rainman pieces is separating from “ArtMaze” and “ArtMaze” will retain rights to the name “Rainman”
Correct ?
So suppose the artist known as Rainman will be hired by a mass producer (let’s say Redman) or he will work independently under a different name.
Maybe ?
So what happens if he makes and sells Blondie, Tuco, Angel Eyes, the Dude etc look-a-likes ?
Is that okay ?
Just another wrinkle in this ongoing “intellectual property” “recast” debate ?
