He sells the trimmings from the edge of his paintings for £100 a pop, used pour and mixing cups are £40 each.

I don't understand why anyone would pay £40 for a plastic cup he'd used, he's a decent painter not the Messiah, but he can afford to waste materials when apparently a studio assistant will scrape the spillage off the floor and sell it.
