His point is that there is more money to be made on canvas rather than digital- I point to Scott and say, "See?!"

I mean in 500 years will they be able to identify a work as an original Johnson?

That the value of this painting would change by several orders of magnitude is astounding. The artwork has not changed, the subject is constant.
