HELP STOP ART THIEVES!!!

Sun Nov 2, 2008, 10:27 PM
Hi there everyone!

The reason why I writing to you guys today is very sad, embarrassing and "dirty"...
The other day a good friend of mine sent me a link of a website that is basically
dedicated to copy, sabotage, rape (whatever you name it) my artwork, specially my signature
creepy dolls..even the shape of the canvas i use, backgrounds everything!
These two "designers" are selling merchandise with them and wich is worst MAKING MONEY OUT OF MY
WORK OF YEARS!!! ...But that's not the end of the story also these two are in fact my EX BOYFRIEND AND
HIS GIRLFRIEND!!! who i even hooked up together 3 years ago!!!
This Lilly Doll girl (aka art stealer) started trying to mimetizing with me at myspace..copying
even my posses in the photos, music and more and after that she ended dating my ex...now apparently she
is dedicated basically to copy everything she can of my art!

When i left my country Spain 2 years ago I made arragements with my ex boyfriend (we where ex couple but roommates
and friends at the time) to come back to my town in 6 months and get all my stuff...my stuff of almost 27 years of work,
paintings, clothes, cameras,sketch books,where she got my art from!! EVERYTHING..pretty much all my life there..
and the most important thing my cat (who's casually lost i don't even know what they did to my cat!)
This guy a few months before i was coming back to Spain to visit family and get my things writes me a cold email telling
me that first, he moved leaving our apartment and second, he "had to" get ride of all my stuff!!! after that message i lost contact with him,
no messages no phone calls, he "disappeared" ...so i assumed i just lost everything I've ever loved and had! I should have probably go back there
and find these people or his family and made him return me what was mine..but i didnt, distance and a lot of
facts like start a new life in a different country...i just regret now so much not doing anything at that time.

So here they are..together with they're company BWANADEVIL..the supplanter girl art thieve and the guy who stole all my belongings!
couldn't be more unfair? I'm so angry, and sad and i feel disgusted..so many feelings and emotions!
im calling out to everyone i know to help me with this cuz im not sure what to do about it at this point. what they are doing is wrong and
needs to be stopped. This could happen to anybody sad but true!.

when you see the pics i have also posted you will see for yourself how bad i have been riped offed. everything they have done is been stolen from my work.
you will see how them changed small things to make it a little different but the similarities are sick!! keep in mind this is not
someone ramdom who liked my art, they are people who have access to all my art and know me in person that's what makes it DISGUSTING!!!

Please anyone who know's me or likes my art or simple everybody... i need your help to stop these ART THIEVES!!
Any suggestion, ideas..ANYTHING WILL HELP MOST SPECIALLY YOUR SUPPORT!

dA: your one stop shop for child porn and shitty anime.
:iconglittersniffer:
-sigh-
you need to get to business girl
if your art means alot -like mine does to me-
sent them a sece and disist letter!
its a propper law binding document that its a leading paper to SUE them.

-shrugs- throwing abuse at them wont do any good..
if i were you i would get law action involved, get your stuff back and sue their company.

its easy, look up alot of websites to help with art theft! there are alot!
you can find these law binding documents over the net!
and everytime people steal from me i go down this track and usually manage to sort it out before i have to take the further legal action.

Well, looking at the work you can see that it is copied from your work. But legally, they have changed it enough that its not illegal.

You can try, but a cease and desist letter might not do much. The best thing for you to do, is to use the internet in your favor.

Try posting this news to this site, they may be able to help spread the word [link]

It is better to forget to forgive and forget, than to forgive and always remember.
:iconda-darkknight:
That's a terrible thing for someone to do to you. If you need help with anything, I would help in any way I can.
:iconkissthefuture:
Their 'Hard Candy' picture is also ripping of Camille Rose Garcia's work.
I feel really bad for you :( its awful when someone rips your art.
