Hey all, I wanted to let you know that I really appreciate the art theft reports you've been linking me to.  Thanks to your help, I've been able to reduce the number of theft out there and have even been able to resolve some issues where people on eBay and Etsy were illegally selling my designs.  

However, the constant stream of the reports on my main page has become overwhelming and I am tired of the regular arguments being carried out in that space.  From here on out, I ask that all theft reports are submitted to me by note only.  This decision was not brought about by any one person but rather to keep that space on my main page clear for people who want to stop by and leave a casual comment.  Honestly, if you compare the ratio of comments reporting art theft to the comments from people who stopping in randomly to say hi, it's kind of staggering.

So to conclude, please know that I am grateful when people report theft to me and I am not trying to discourage that with this journal; just please send them in a note to me here on DevART.  Any theft reports posted on my main page will be marked as spam.  Also, when contacting art thieves, remember to be gentle and courteous.  Because of how often my art has been reposted around the internet without my permission, many of the people who have redrawn something of mine do not even realize that it's a copyrighted design and are more than willing to take it down when the situation is explained to them.

I noticed a lot of your tattoo designs and artwork is always being stolen. What concerns me is that when people use your tattoo designs, so far I found 2 people who used it on their skin. I wanted to ask you if this can reported? I could link you in note the 2 people who are using your tattoo designs and for what I know is they did not commission nor linked to you.

If you come across a person with it inked into their skin, I don't think there's really much that can be done about it at that point. Which is why I do my best to get illegal repostings or reworkings of my designs removed from the internet as promptly as possible. Thanks for the heads-up though.

I'm sorry I put a couple of your designs into a collage and was unaware of all the problems you were having with your art (of course I deleted the piece as soon as I was informed) but I would like to apologize for the inconvenience. I would also like to say thank you for not destroying my account. And that you make very lovely art :)
I would like to also ask if I could repost the picture I drew (more like made as in I used paper and paint) but if you say no I understand.

I never gave Wal-Mart rights to use any of my designs. What design did you see on a t-shirt at Wal-Mart?
