Wow, how did something that started out as such a nice jesture turn into such a debacle. Everyone comes out of this one looking bad.

Wow, this looks really bad on the part of Corriveau and the Redskins. The guy is basically charging $100 per hour, which is not unreasonable (maybe even cheap).
The Redskins should just buy the painting, knowing that $5,000 will go to the Children's hospital.
Pathetic.

I'd say the fact that he made a tribute painting means he shouldn't be selling it for profit. Once he is selling for profit then it gets pretty dicey to me. I don't blame people for getting ticked at him. I don't see how anyone else looks bad other than him on this deal.

yeah, looks shady. If 100% was for charity, I'd have no issue with it. But it's not.

To be honest the top right corner pic of ST looks horrible, plus this looks like something you could get airbrushed at Ocean City on a T-Shirt.

Well add the fact he is making a profit and then turned around and told Moss $5,000 for three prints tells me he is out to make money. The charity thing might just be to help him sell the painting.

WJLA (http://www.wjla.com/news/stories/0908/554549_video.html?ref=newsstory) is reporting on it as well. The artist is entitled to make a living; it's nice that he's offering to donate $5K to a hospital. It's quite pathetic and low of the team's management to pull this crap. Sorry, but they just got on my s--t list.

Thank you. He spent 200 hours on it.

Are you looking at the painting or the painting on your laptop?
