Artist takes legal advice over Tories using his Andy Burnham portrait
Stanley Chow, a Manchester illustrator, claims the Conservative Party copied his image of Andy Burnham for conference merchandise. The Tories handed out water bottles and sweets featuring the image, labelled "Bottler Burnham" and "0% strength". Chow, the artist behind the image used in Burnham's 2021 mayoral campaign, expressed that he was "stunned and angry" and intends to highlight the issue of copyright infringement.
