ART THEFT/WATERMARK (PLEASE DO NOT BUY STOLEN ART)

ADDING WATERMARKS UPDATE 1/30/2016

I have gone in and added watermarks to all my images on this account. I really don't like doing this personally, but I am taking some more precautions after being notified of recent theft of my work for unauthorized commercial gain by unknown parties. It's not going to do much to fix the past, but at least it'll make me feel more secure about my gallery after what happened and that I'm at least taking some measures. So please be aware that watermarks are being put on past and future works in this account.

I would like to thank everyone who has alerted me concerning my stolen work and for everyone who has given me support in this incredibly unpleasant situation. If you see my work being sold anywhere on the internet (be it fan art or my original illustrations), PLEASE DO NOT BUY AS THOSE IMAGES ARE STOLEN. Instead, please send me a note or an email concerning the theft so I can make a formal complaint to have the stolen images removed.

Thank you,

Hello folks,

I had recently been informed that my 1920s TF2 fan art series is being sold as mouse pads online without my knowledge or permission. Please note that I had not authorized these vendors (or anyone else for that matter) to sell any of my artwork nor do I operate such vendors myself. I am in the process of seeing what can be done to stop these unauthorized sellers. I do not even sell these fan art pieces myself (due to copyright reasons) so it’s very painful learning someone else is profiting from something I did purely out of love for the characters from the game.

Please do not support art thieves by buying artwork that has been taken without permission from the artist!

Thank you,

ramida-r
