He stated this would only be in the beginning when he is trying to generate interest in the idea since his credentials are much more impressive than mine and he thinks marketing it that way initially will generate more interest.
The logic of this is not coming through to me. I don't understand why both credentials cannot exist simultaneously. If he is not presenting the art as his own creation then it's obviously being done by a third party. How could the divulgence of your identity jeopardize the market? His credentials don't improve the art and yours don't diminish it.

His concern may be that if the clients know who you are then they will come direct to you and cut him out. Maybe this could be dealt with contractually. You might also consider putting a term on the contract. His words: "only in the beginning."

Would you sign the art?
