... And this is why I get Upset...
Posted: April 20th, 2008, 3:23 amAnd this is why I get upset when people don't give attribution for artwork.

There are, of course, links if you follow the article's URL (above). I found out about this from another artist's journal... where she said she was considering pulling her artwork from the internet because she didn't want it pirated.
It's a shame.... a terrible shame.

Yesterday illustrator Darren Di Lieto, who also runs the wonderful Little Chimp Society illustration site, discovered that the work of dozens of illustrators, along with the interviews he conducted with them for the LCS, have been unceremoniously plagiarized in a 350-page book being sold online for $100.
Our own Luc Latulippe is one of the illustrators whose interview and illustrations were ripped off, and he has posted a detailed write-up of the situation at his blog, and encourages everyone to spread the word about this, as the publisher and distributors of the book are elusive if not entirely impossible to contact.
Please also read Darren’s blog post about the situation where he also links to a gallery of photographs of the entire plagiarized book.
Please help spread the word!
