May I simply just say what a reilef to uncover someone that actually knows what they are discussing over the internet. You actually realize how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More and more people really need to look at this and understand this side of your story. It's surprising you are not more popular because you most certainly have the gift.Also visit my weblog ::

That is indeed a bfuutieal image, and I can completely understand someone wanting to own a print of it: but, to see it just unscrupulously stolen and then to have extra salt rubbed in that particular wound by having the perpetrators claim it's either theirs, or "vintage", and then make money from it..! must make you so incredibly angry! After all, if THEY found the image on the web, did they not think that you (an artist that works digitally and regularly posts online) or anyone else would notice!!?? [Expand]
I can't decide whether that indicates either: how low their intellect, or their morals! Popular artists throughout history have always been forged and ripped off, after all, if your work is good enough for YOU to make your living from, it's an unfortunately safe bet that some lazy unimaginative parasite's going to want to try and make a quick buck out of you too! The advent of home scanners and the web have made "grabbing" these pictures easier, but, all they're really doing by putting your images on their tawdry products is tantamount to sprinkling glitter on a turd!! My words must come as scant consolation, I know, but I felt compelled to write another (*considered, as you put it) response as... if it were to happen to me, I would be livid and I can sincerely empathise with you. As an aspiring illustrator I have admired your work for a few years now, (being introduced to it via Imagine FX and Spectrum) and to some extent I have, of course, envied your success; but the difference is, I know it comes from hard work and dedication to one's craft. (something those thieves will obviously never know). I just hope there is some way they can be stopped and/or brought to book for this. They may of course, plead ignorance. That would be without doubt as they have clearly shown themselves to have it in abundance, but it's no defence for theft.I do hope this incident doesn't make you too cynical and make you think that everyone who views your work online is just waiting to rip you off. Some of us are just happy to view it and take nothing more than inspiration.You have my commiserations Mr. Fell.*My first (un-considered) response was thieving c***s! [url= [link=
