In the conduct of our investigations into abuse of artists and art collectors, we came across some court documents and other material which indicated that an internationally known and successful artist had been crushed and all but destroyed by a ruthless art gallery owner and his organization using a team of lawyers and by the artist's own fickle, unscrupulous agent.

We were contacted by one of our valued FAR® members who, just incidentally, happened to be an airbrush artist. Mike Royal was very appreciative that we reported on this decidedly less than valued form of art and gave it the recognition it so richly deserves. Mike invited us to an exhibition that he and his fellow airbrush and pinstripe artists were hosting to benefit The 100 Club.
