It seems it's been at least a year since I last updated. I guess it's time for a quick note anyways.. to change things up a bit.

I've been browsing d/a today and saw Elandria's post about how there is a lot of art theft going on at [link] . There is a lot of D/A artists I saw there, including and . I'm sure there's a LOT more there that I didn't know who the artist was. Go check out this place and see if any of your art work has been stolen and posted.

Art thieves make me angry! Just because thieves are uncreative shouldn't mean that the people who are artistic and talented should suffer. Artists and stock providers work hard to give us awesome stock, tools, artwork, tutorials and/or all of the above here at dA as well as around the world to get what we need done! They take their own personal time, gas, cameras, disc space, etc to go out and take pictures of millions of things to help us to complete pieces we need for work, play, entertainment, hobbies or whatever it is you do here! It shouldn't be the artists paying a price for showing the world their great talent and seeing others succeed or profit from their work. They should be the ones seeing/receiving the profit and success!

So please, if you see art posted somewhere that you know belongs to someone else and the thief has claimed it as their own, report it or tell the artist that's being hosed by these people so they can report it.

Lets all try and do our part to see our/your/our friends/our dA family get the credit they deserve! For all of you who provide us with the materials, stocks, backgrounds, brushes, ideals, creativity and whatever you provide for our enjoyment THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO!!! Without you guys, we would all look like big stick figures with the happy smile faces.
