BUYPOPART.COM Blatantly steals artists work and sells fake reproductions and repaintings!

So what the hell is this shit? This company BUY POP ART.com is selling prints of all my paintings and sculptures. Has anyone else dealt with these fools yet?  
Is there no end to people looking to rip off artists?


Please do not support a company that steals from artists.  They even blacklisted my email so I could not contact them about this, but several of my friends did for me.


If you would like to tell them how you feel about big companies stealing from artists, please contact them at 707-877-4321 in California, or by email at contact@BuyPopArt.com.


I would appreciate that!

Sculptor Bruce Gray Appears in the New Movie Talons

I appear in the movie Talons doing some welding and metal work, because the actor didn't know how to weld. (see photo) Usually they rent sculptures, paintings and furniture from me, but you never know what they will want. I have also rented out partially completed sculptures, tools, cool looking metal found objects, ladders, scrap metal, and have aged and weathered an actors jumpsuit to look like they had done lots of metal work. I also made a break apart stunt sculpture for Austin Powers, and gave private welding lessons and details on an artists lifestyle to actress Rebecca De Mornay for a role she was playing in the movie Raise Your Voice.

Bruce's Big MAD Adventure!

Throwback Thursday Presents: When I was in 6th grade living in New Jersey, I decided to skip school one day and take a train into New York City to go try to visit the offices of MAD Magazine. At that point, I wanted to be a cartoonist, so I made my way there, and got a tour by none other than William Gaines, the publisher. They also gave me a couple of cheap, crummy souvenirs like this one, which several of the artists signed for me. It was a most excellent adventure!

Artist / Photographer Bruce Gray Combines Old and New for a Fascinating Image

This is an old photograph that I took many years ago that I recently used a new artsy filter on to come up with this image.  What is it?  When I was in the Coast Guard in the mid 1970's, I was an electronics technician, and I specialized in LORAN equipment.  This is a rack of LORAN C timing equipment.  What is LORAN?  You know it now as the modernized version called GPS.
