Well he certainly didn't hand trace it even with a lightbox.

I think it's the usual case of failed artist having a case of sour grapes and wanting to make some dosh.I personally regard niether of them as being particularly original.I bet if we all went digging we could find that the so called original had been 'copied' from somewhere else or based on another picture.
