Right Or Wrong?
While I definitely applaud Ellis for forcing Coldstone to turn out their deep pockets for a good cause, I also believe that his insistence against an invoice was the wrong move to make. Just because HE has been successful in the art world and can flex his glamorous life on Instagram does not mean that every cartoonist is in the same financial position. Plagarism is wrong, and a $10,000 donation doesn’t erase the theft. If Ellis was a lesser-known artist, I’m certain that Coldstone wouldn’t have coughed up the cash.
