Legal problems with Tintin

I want to categorically deny the rumor that I am a reincarnation of Hergé, creator of Tintin.

It is true that my drawing style has many similarities (which I am very flattered about).

And it is also true that he passed away in 1983, a few months before I was born (and in the same year). 

But these are coincidences.
Or not? I think so...

The thing is that until I'm 75 years old I won't be able to draw Tintin without having legal problems with Moulinsart (the owners of the rights). 

I already received a threatening email a few years ago for one of my versions of Tintin and I would not like to receive another one of those emails or end up in court paying a fine of 30.000€ and 10 months in prison (This one paid dearly).

Look, you know what?
I don't care about Moulinsart!
The next auction features Tintin.

Registration open for the next auction


PS: The registration includes a surprise contest. You don't have to bid to enter it.

PS2: This image below is the one for which I received a threat from Moulinsart (read the caption).

‍Because that illustration is a copy of the one I made. They plagiarized it 😂... I have no idea where it comes from, I found it on the internet... I think it's in Thailand....
