Dementia Stopped Peter Max from Painting (nytimes.com)

Peter Max was responsible for the designs from one of my favorite games, Parappa the Rapper. Hearing that he has dementia saddens me, hearing that he's the victim of Stan Lee style elder abuse pisses me off.


As an artist it's sad that someone who made so many people happy now is a shell others take advantage of for money. While having assistant paint parts is a longtime tradition (even back in the Middle Ages) this is simply ripping off a man who doesn't know any better, and flooding the market with what are really knock-offs.
