Artist Sues Art Supply Store

No kidding.  Artist Juan Carlos Macias alleges that an art supplies store sold him defective art supplies, including a professional-grade gloss, which caused at least 12 of his paintings and artworks to deteriorate, fade and deform. 

“The way it is being portrayed is inaccurate and inappropriate,” said general manager Jim Gay. “The thing I find particularly annoying is that it is being portrayed as though we knowingly sold defective merchandise, and of course there is no evidence that there was defective merchandise.”
