I am not sure... if you look at the pictures.... they all look the same. Do you think its legal to sell an "inspired by Frans Claerhout" Donkey. Am thinking of painting a donkey tonight.... the socks inspired me....

Ja, definitely, I also need one, my pale legs never see the sun. lol

 

You are definitely inspired Grant, you need to start your own art studio and start selling painting, under your own name of course, so no fakes
