Artist’s legal bid for rights to Che Guevara picture

RENOWNED artist Jim Fitzpatrick has launched a legal bid to finally get the rights of his famous picture of Che Guevara.

The artist, who is also known around the world for his Thin Lizzy album covers, has never taken a cent in royalties of his famous 1968 picture of the Argentine revolutionary.

The image has featured around the globe on everything from T-shirts to cereal boxes to movie promotions but the Howth resident has never cashed in.
