yes, it's true story, they couldn't find a law against using a painting, he is painting 10 more people now. He sent the painting to the right authority, even if they didn't really like that it was a painting they didn't refuse it.
here is a link in swedish
livet you can only Admire his Spirit. I hope he does very well in his business.

Livet, I'm somewhat confused by your posts, "I don't believe in a second in it" & "yes, it's true story"dunno wave
Non, He's what used to be called eccentricdunno laugh
Zee those are my thoughts too ... I tried going into the link she provided but its not in English ...
well,I first thought it was impossible knowing how strict there are in Sweden with documents, but then I googled it in swedish and it turned to be true, that's why I provide a swedish link for the swedish doubters.
he made a good publicity for himself as a painter, now he can live on it, otherwise it's not easy, publicity is EVERYTHING in art.
though if he painted himself and others from the photo at first which I think he did and then made a photo of a painting that will be a double job, he could sent the first photo instead but then it would be no publicity. I doubt if those 10 people will sit before him 100 hours while he paints them, they have to send their photos. Anyway, why not? He is clever in more than one sense.
Thanks Zee .........

Very interesting story in deed
