The Ripoff Artists Rip Off Another Year!
"Good artists copy. Great artists steal."
attributed to Pablo Picasso
"Rip-off: an inferior imitation of something."
"Artist: 1: a person who practises any of the creative arts; a person skilled at a particular task or occupation.
2: a person who habitually practises a specified reprehensible activity: rip-off artists."
Oxford Dictionary of English, Kindle Edition, 2010
The Ripoff Artists: a group of talented artists in many media who join forces every summer to interpret a masterpiece by a famous artist in their own way, to learn new skills and have a lot of fun.
