  <body>I am working on a newspaper/multimedia article on the Starving Artists Group Art Sales (you know, &quot;Nothing over $59&quot;) that are being held in area hotels around the country lately. I have a possible lead to the owners in Houston, but nothing definite yet. 

Many say the source of these mass-produced paintings are Asian sweat shops, but obviously I need specific, credible sources for this sort of claim (beyond blogs, internet opinions and rants) etc., before it goes in my newspaper.

Any help would be appreciated. </body>
