The fist image is the one I'm trying to copy. The stroke in this example is affected by the distort while mine is unchanged. What am I missing here?

    There is no need to "Expand" the stroke. Just assign Effect>Path>Outline Stroke to the artwork. This will make the distortion work without losing editability.

    Nevermind, I found out I needed 'expand' for this to work.

    Probably because the stroke is not a stroke anymore, but outlined.
