Remember that flap about the artist who installed tiles in Livermore,
California with many of the names of famous people depicted there misspelled?
Here's the follow-up

An artist who misspells "Michelangelo" and "Van Gogh". The city
shouldn't have paid her to correct her mistakes. She should have
corrected them for free.

She claimed it was "Artistic license".
A test to see if you were paying attention?

Sign Painters and Graphic Artists who use much in the way of fonts, are in a
dangerious position sometimes...because they 'know' what their texts will
say, or 'do' say, and glareing spelling errors can be eaily invisible in how
the mind can fill them in sometimes.
This kind of thing used to happen in making the dies for minting Coinage
also.
Always good to have someone else proof read, but even then sometimes if they
'know' what it is going to 'say' they can miss it.
I do not think this quite characterizes this particular artist-gals
oversight, but I was just museing on it...

How funny! The artist must be an AMATEUR" misspeller" by her reactions.
As a PROFESSIONAL "misspeller" I've gain the skill to smile and proclaim my ability to butcher even the simplest words. It takes a lot of courage but I reach down into my Captain Crunch filled bowels and do it anyway. Did anybody else know that amateur has on C in it. Took me for ever to figure that one out!

My first response would have been to find a local artist to repair it.
Why they went to Florida to get one is beyond me! But I just read that
State law prohibits the library from making any changes to public art
without the artists permission, so naturally she would make the
repairs, and of course charge Livermore for the repairs, plus
transportation costs. Mike Gordon
