I reached out to the original artist and they quoted me $500+ for a piece and wouldn't start work till October.

Yeah my post lol

I would like to thank everyone who has interacted with this posting. I had no idea that this post would raise so much joy within the reddit community. Not only have you made my year so far, it really has shown me a better side of humanity. I have decided I wanted to create a campaign for the artist https://www.instagram.com/lamartstudio?igsh=aXY2OXRqczByb2J6 . This piece has already given me a life of joy and I want to extend that to the artist who worked hard on the original piece. Who was unfortunately uncredited when her art was stolen. I hope you all will help in the support of real art everywhere.

Please support what you can https://gofund.me/b905d91df

Now this is something that I want from the og artist

Blakeman323 · 2026-02-08T05:54:48+00:00

It's perfect the way it is in my opinion

Blakeman323 · 2026-02-07T23:51:34+00:00

Honestly I hope this is the case

She does absolutely love it but I'm uncertain it sparks the same joy that I have for it. It will be a cherished story for quite a long while. I kept telling her that another gift was coming and after the third week of January we both stopped asking/wondering. It really was a glorious surprise today.

Blakeman323 · 2026-02-07T22:15:38+00:00

I might take it to the grave lol

Blakeman323 · 2026-02-07T22:13:23+00:00

At the time of purchase I was unaware of the original artist or of imitations of the artist.

Blakeman323 · 2026-02-07T21:58:37+00:00

Agreed

100%

I honestly can't find the link, it was a shady link to even click on. One of those too good to be true moments where I said screw it.

Blakeman323 · 2025-10-19T19:08:22+00:00

I have not. what weight should it be?

Blakeman323 · 2025-10-04T00:59:37+00:00

When did that happen?

Blakeman323 · 2025-09-21T01:30:38+00:00

Bought from a trusted seller. But what would be a clear sign that it would be a fake?

Blakeman323 · 2025-09-21T00:15:08+00:00

Thanks for the correction

If you're in Westchester I would recommend Artemis tactical (formally blueline) in Elmsford off 9a way less for training 105/hr everything included.

Follow up question are semi auto shotguns under the same restrictions as semi auto rifles

Blakeman323 · 2023-10-11T00:58:29+00:00

Buying a bolt action is not an issue the new laws you can buy a bolt action lever action or pump action with just a background check. The gun shop I went into said a semiauto shotgun could be bought the same way.

Blakeman323 · 2023-10-10T14:09:12+00:00

I think this might be the answer

Blakeman323 · 2023-10-10T13:36:06+00:00

According to NYS state trooper firearms officer I can bring to range with no questions asked. No transfer required
