Re: [sumo] warning! attempted tegata swindle

Re the info below:

I have not asked him,( I can do that, unless someone else will see him
before I do in Sept)  but I really doubt Akebono would carry or give out a
"printed" tegata .....what for?


Hawaii, huh- that is where 2 men were running around in the 80's with a
stolen portfolio of my  artwork, a collection of line drawings I did in the
70's, nad a few from the 80's.
  hey were claiming that I "gave" it to them for various reasons...all lies.
They tried to sell it to, among others,  Jan Rowan  who told me about it and
knew that what they said was untrue. They even got it on one of the sumo
sites and tried to auction the work!(remember seeing the Suiryu drawing with
blue?)  They were quite out out there.
