great stuff

can I has arty submission lol

Maybe people would have payed attention to her if she had taken cat pictures.

Everyone likes cat pictures, so I guess you're right.

She would have been more notable if she had taken those god awful high contrast "art" portraits on Deviant Art.

I know a lot of female amateur artists who are amazing but have no interest in making money or getting famous. They view their art as a hobby and aren't motivated to profit from it.

About half of the married amateur artists have husbands who are employed as artists. I can only think of one whose husband is a better artists than she is.

steals soul!

If he wasn't doing that, nobody would even know who she is.

Yup. Sometimes naked self-interest & greed are good things.

THIS BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!

I have a pretty big aversion to art vultures myself having worked on a couple documentaries about Semi-Famous artists, but this guy seems like the categorical collector type and not the consume and control type.

I think if he makes a mint selling her work to collectors and showing it there isn't anything wrong with it. I'm much more offended by the over licencing of popular artist's work; mugs, t-shirts, etc...

Valid points, I just can't help but think were in his position I might consider donating it to an organization dedicated to film preservation or a museum rather than hitting up Kickstarter for funds.
