Consider this a friendly reminder to all artists to keep your eyes on your shit and if you feel uneasy even at all, slap that giant ass-ugly copyright on your work. You know, that big super-tacky water-marked logo you have on file somewhere but rarely ever use because everyone bitches that they can't see your work through the giant thing.
I realize even that can't stop the most dedicated of art-thieves but hey, every little bit helps.
A fellow deviant-artist has been keeping tabs on a little gallery in Tasmania that happens to be selling a few of my pieces; each one framed and going for $129.
He recently snapped this photo of them for me (and depending on how long you've been following me on here, you may or may not recognize them):
Here are my original files; both are from a little series I did way back in '04 called "Fool's Paradise."
I've emailed them and am waiting for a response. So that's it for now...I feel like it can be so easy to forget these things. It's unfortunate these people never go away but I suppose for every person making an honest living there are 5 making a dishonest one.
well, anyway, its different when it's a little girl posting images on her blog site and it's a different story when someone makes $$$ from somebody elses work.
Whoa.. I remember those totally, I think they are in my fav's.
I know the feeling of having my compositions copied, but damn, to have somebody actually selling your actual images, can't imagine the loathe and outrage you must be feeling. Do you know if you have any recourse?
Thanks for the wake-up call.. and good luck.
