Since what's hanging in the gallery is no doubt being called a derivative work, I don't think it's technically illegal. I agree it's a douche-bag thing to do but being a douche-bag isn't illegal.The gallery should be charged with fencing stolen property after the fact.
I agree, but how would you know if he stole one of your selfies or not.
I am more amazed at the type of a person that would do this. We used to have playground rules to fix this type of behavior. I think the more people that know about this the better, but no telling how much money he made.
Yeah, but "playground rules" get ya in trouble as an adult...

I think he's scum too but the way it works, legally speaking, is pretty much just as you've described...The original image had to be used to start with so I have no idea how he can get away with using other's photos and then altering them to give them his stamp of individuality. I think a crime has been committed and he should be hung out to dry.
He is a prime example of why you should prosecute vermin who impose on your copyright. I think he is just pond scum.
