Being GSU faithful and Peterson fans, you all need to take a look at some supposed 'original' artwork. http://www.egriz.com/GrizBoard/viewtopic.php?t=51

What a slap in the face to the Montana program. SilverTip, you guys are successful enough and have enough class that you shouldn't have artwork depicting a rival's picture in your uniform. This is blatent plagarism and I wouldn't be surprised to see legal action come from this. What a shame!

Yep, that's a picture of AP alright. Like the guy on the UM board said....the artist did not even bother to change his number. It would actually have been a nice rendering to commemorate our 1999 title.
I agree with what blueballs said about the Montana program and hope that UM and their fans won't stand for it.

as an artist myself, one comment......"UN-BELIEVEABLE"! The original photo is obviously copyrighted and this so-called artist needs to be held accountable. This "painting" needs to be pulled. Montana fans should be livid.

Here is the lame answer that I got when I e-mailed the owner of the gallery:
(My original e-mail) I'm glad to see that you are ripping off Montana as well as Georgia Southern fans. You need to pull this picture from circulation. BTW, I have some political cartoons for sale. They may look a lot like the ones that appear in the NY Times every Sunday, but they are original (I promise). the artist and dealer should be ashamed!
(His response) I'm not sure if you've been in our store to see the original, but I would invite you to do so. It is a 3 1/2 by 4 foot oil painting, and is clearly not a "copy" of the picture of Adriane Petersen.
I am sorry if you feel like the artist copied a picture of a player, but the fact of the matter is that it's very different. If you stopped in to see it, I'm pretty sure you'd agree.
A person in brought it to our attention earlier that their is a likeliness, but even if the artist used Adriane Petersen's pose, it's not really a "one of a kind". Did you happen to see the other player in the picture? If you looked at sports paintings, you will see styles and poses that look very familiar. Does that make it "wrong" for the artist to use it?
Again, I am sorry for how you feel, but I assure you the artist is not somebody who needs to "copy" pictures. He is very renowned- he just sold an original to Ashley Judd last week for $57,000.
Thanks for your consideration, and again I am sorry for any misunderstanding.
Does anyone have Ashley Judd's address? I have a bridge in Brooklyn I need to sell quickly!!!

On the ESPN Div I-aa message board this is a heavy topic of concern as well. Many of the Montana fans were not happy at all with this so called "Artwork"
By the way....I am curious what print that Ashley Judd purchased considering that she is a HUGE Kentcuky fan and has little interest in Montana sports (if my memory serves correct).......you can usually see her on the tv when the kentucky basketball games are televised
