Anyone who watches FX's Archer knows Malory Archer's (Jessica Walter) office is filled with delightful abstract artwork on its walls.

Christian Slater Admits To Having A 'Man Crush' On Title Character From 'Archer'

The animated series made its debut in 2009 and has been going strong ever since, but it seems to have hit a major bump at the moment.

On Tuesday, Courthouse News Service reported artist Michel Leah Keck claimed in a federal lawsuit that the creators of the animated spy series used three of her pieces of work without her permission.

Keck sued FX Networks and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment for copyright infringement, claiming that her paintings appear as part of the design of the show's fictional spy headquarters.

Her artwork seems to appear on Malory's office's walls, which is actually shown in the image above as well as in the video below.

Keck's paintings that were unrightfully used by the series are: Sink Or Swim, The Best Is Yet To Come and I Don't Want To Hear It, which can be seen below to compare against those pieces of art hung in Malory's office.



The artist describes herself as "a self-taught, abstract painter" on her website.

The three paintings in question appear to have been created in 2011 and 2012. I Don't Want To Hear It was uploaded to Keck's online store in December 2011. The Best Is Yet To Come made its debut in her online store in January 2012; as did Sink Or Swim.

The lawsuit attaches copies of the registrations of her three works with the United States Copyright Office as well as screen shots of Malory's office.

"FX Networks and Fox Home Entertainment operate sophisticated media production and distribution businesses with trained staff and an excellent working knowledge of copyright law principles and rights-clearance practices. Inexplicably, defendants used the works as part of Archer without even seeking the necessary permission to do so," the 17-page federal complaint stated.

Keck seeks $30,000 per infringement or up to $150,000 per infringement if FX is found to have copied her work intentionally.

Her representation is through Joshua Bressler of Bressler Law.

Archer airs Thursday nights at 10 p.m. ET on FX.
