Update: Stolen Art Mobile, got back
By frithmobiles
This large Jujumo mobile was stolen Feb. 2009 for a photo shoot to be in the new Reader's Digest magazine Fresh Home. Finding out a week after I made and shipped the mobile to Adam Hershkowitz in New York, that he is an art scammer. Stealing art and selling it on craigslist etc, or where ever he can. It is 28"W x 34"H Black, red and white plastic petals and stainless steel arms. If anyone has seen this mobile, please contact me ASAP. (linK: Stolen Art Mobile)
UPDATE: A friend of a friend has gotten my mobile away from the theif in NY and will be shipping it back to me soon. So the SAGA of the stolen mobile is overwith.

The guy wrote to me and pretended to be a representitve of the magazine Reader's Digest. He said he was doing a modern office, and living room photo shoot in NY and wanted to add one of my mobiles. With the photos, he was going to promote RD's new magazine Fresh Home. He promised it would be lots of great advertising for my work. He sent me a pdf of the new magazine promo layout, and it looked offical. And I think I stated it very clearly. Not stressed what so ever. Sad yes. I think being an artist struggling like most to make ends meet, there are people out there that want to kick you and put you down. Artists are as close to the ground as you can go! "How low can you go, death row, what a brother know, but since I know a little somethin' that I know you lack, still some consider me a new jack!" I think that's how that went! from Public Enemy. You'd think of all the people to steal from, an artist would not be my first choice!! It's like kicking a bum, pushing an old guy, slapping a baby!! How low can you go.
Artists ... are a little weird but need to be supported for being weird. Otherwise we wouldn't exist.

These sentences don't make sense. Was the art stolen FOR a photo shoot? or was the art made for the photo shoot, then stolen? What did you find out a week after making the art? I know you were probably stressed when typing this blog, but it doesn't make much sense. Good luck in finding the art.

I talked to the NY DA today, and it was not there... that they saw. :(

Quite a few people were scammed by this man. Apparently he was caught and arrested on April 2nd, and then released on bail. Some people got their art pieces back. Hopefully yours will be found.
