Jason,

I hate to break it to you, dear boy, but that artist did not die. He's 
alive and well, and at this very moment, he's mixing another 
round of margueritas for himself, Barry White, Charo, and Jeb 
Bush's daughter. He's just kicked off this flipflops, kicked back in 
his hammock, and the doorbell just rang with a huge Sushi 
order delivery.

You, my dearest, are yet another trusting individual who got 
swept up in the illusionary net of:

The Artist Protection Program!
http://www.artistprotection.com

Here's a snippet from their site:

"Modeled after the FBI's Witness Protection Program, the APBP 
removes an artist from the Contemporary Art scene. The artist is 
then relocated to a new city or country, and provided with a new 
identity. The APBP then sells the artists' work, providing a lifetime 
of financial freedom!"

Make sure you research the entire site, because there's much to 
learn! I'm sure Keith Haring is living over on the next island...
