These are amazing! Thanks so much for sharing. Please give the artist credit in your article. His name Octavio Ocampo, and his copyright and non-reproduction notice is printed at the bottom of your prints.
I really loved these images! Gave me ideas for some of my own artwork! Wish I could find fun stuff like t his in our local flea markets!
I find it odd that CreativePro is publishing pirated art. Previous ‘Scanning Around With Gene’ articles showed vintage art that was probably out of copyright. Shouldn’t CreativePro simply post a link to https://www.octavioocampo.com.mx so that its readers can view art authorized to appear online from this particular artist?
As a very basic principle that all creatives should know… just because you possess a copy of art, you do not necessarily have a license to do anything with it (such as mass producing it in a web page).
Shame on Gene & CreativePro!
Thanks very much for the head’s up. Neither Gene nor I knew the identity of the artist — flea markets aren’t known for giving detailed biographic information.
We’re working on the correct way to treat this right now.

I didn’t know the identity of the artist either… until I read the bottom of the images next to the spanish line that says the total or partial reproduction of this work is forbidden right next to that troublsome COPYRIGHT symbol! :)
“We’re working on the correct way to treat this right now.”
Quick & easy instruction: Locate the article node, click the ‘Edit’ tab, scroll to the bottom of the page, uncheck the ‘publish’ box. This isn’t really something you have to take much time to think about. If it is, then we are probably visiting the wrong site.
“[Editor’s note: Just hours after this blog post was published, several sharp-eyed CreativePro.com readers informed me that the images in these posters were created by Octavio Ocampo. My apologies for not properly crediting the artist, and for unknowingly posting copyrighted images. I have replaced the scans with watermarked images from the artist’s Web site.]”
You simply cannot steal images from another web site to replace your scans. You should also follow the artist’s explicit instructions for usage of the images:

This is not rocket science. Is copyright meaningless to you all?
Thanks to all who pointed out the artist’s Website to us. As always with Scanning Around, I try very hard to make sure if I can discover credit, I give it, and have always worked hard to respect copyrights. Somehow I missed the material on one of the prints because when I bought it it was framed and that part of the image was covered. Clearly I posted the images because I thought they were good — I would have gladly credited the artist right away. My apologies to everyone for not vetting these more thoroughly, but given the context in which they were purchased, I did not think I would ever discover the true origin. No disrespect to the artist intended, and I hope this discussion sends folks to his Website so he can sell some work.
You may want to consider decalf, Mr. Spam.
It is discouraging to see alleged creatives who visit this site and an author of an article more concerned about an omission of credit to an artist than recognizing the primary issue with posting material without permission. Art does not need to have a blatant stamp on it to tell you not to reproduce. It is covered under copyright regardless of any mark. Creatives, authors and publishers should already know this. While the first published draft of this particular article and the naive comments are disappointing, CreativePro offers plenty of good info on copyrights:

If an author is posting images simply because he thought they were good, what is to stop an author from posting pirated music or videos as well? Should we soon see free MP3 files of Beyonce or a video of the new Brüno movie on this site?
The anonymous guest that thinks I’m on coffee is probably not a creative and has no intellectual property to protect. Otherwise, we’d all be sharing the same attitude.
They are gorgeous and very well spliced together to create something out of several items…I would love to be able to see the images linked to their larger counterparts to look at the details even more.
You are never alone,
I am there to comfort and guide you…
Always.
