A judge in U.S. District Court in South Carolina has awarded local artist Todd Atkinson $158,400 in a copyright infringement case against artist Chan Shepherd and the owner of the building on which Atkinson’s mural was originally painted.

Atkinson painted the mural, of a train and a water tank, with the words “Water Tank” in a red banner, on the side of a building in Clover, S.C., in the summer of 1982, according to court documents. He filed a copyright certificate on Dec. 11, 2023, and was granted copyright on Mar. 7, 2024. For many years, the building, located at 111 N. Main Street, was home to a bar called the Water Tank; according to Google, it is temporarily closed.
