I need to clarify, was shocked, really am not now. It sounds really bad and the truth is that the small, small handful of living masters that I have met (and he is one) have drawn extensively from life and could whip up a masterpiece from life, a photo, a tracing, and especially their imagination. The tracing or photo is really just the muse. I have an immense amount of respect for this man .
