That is very interesting mysteryattic. Did you see the link she posted and thought it was a composite from information she gave? That is a pic of the asian male isn't it?

Here is a pic of the actor who played thin man who she said reminded her of the john.

Then someone posted a link asking if he looked like the guy at this link which I thought interesting because burlap is used to store and ship fine art.

omg HAHAHA I'm kinda familiar with the artist that someone asked about in the link- lol small world. Anyway, since she didn't answer I'm thinking that's a "no" and we shouldn't go posting his photo on here. As an FYI, burlap isn't used by fine artists unless they are using it was part of a prop-like sculpture. It's used in props and scenery building though to create texture and wrap forms. In fine art shipping it's unlikely it'd be used much if at all. Lighter weight, "cleaner" packing materials that won't scuff or shed are preferred, and moving blankets do a better job than burlap. It may have been used more widely for shipping way back when before advances were made in materials.
(I know a fair number of art handlers, theatrical artisans, and fine artists- which is what I'm basing this on).
