ALL POINTS BULLETIN - ARTISTS AT LARGE.
The story you are about to read is true. Only the facts have been changed to
protect the innocent.
A group of mysterious felons has been spotted once again on
Hilton Head Island. They are under
the direction of the notorious ringleader – Karin “Quickdraw” Jurick. Some of the faces are familiar to
Hilton Head Islanders but most were unknown until recently. They meet, create havoc than slip away
into the hinterland. They seem to
be able to cross international borders at will.
These are professional con (wo)men often extorting funds
from the unsuspecting public in exchange for small boards covered with paint.
Do not approach. They are deceptively dangerous. They have been seen shooting photos at random without warning then
blending into the local population.
They are also known to slash canvas with palette knives and wrench paint
caps off with pliers. They are
well-organized, enthusiastic and creative.
A select group of artists have been asked for their help in identifying these individuals and
making them known to the world.
Photoshop makes photographs notoriously unreliable so their assignment
was as follows:
Once a week they will receive a mugshot of one of these perpetrators. They have one week to paint a likeness
of that person in a 4” x 4” format, photograph the painting and email the photo
to me. I will post
the photographs here as they arrive. We need to identify these perps and
their work and make them known to the public. Everyone is asked to help with this task by posting a link to their blogs, websites, etc. and telling their friends.
This is one of the most challenging cases I have ever
encountered. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
