I'm FURIOUS!
Kathleen from Trowel and Paintbrush posted about her art being stolen. She found out by doing a reverse image search. I thought I'd give it a try and lo & behold:
That's MY pink peony
no doubt about it!
Just got back from 2 weeks in France (which I'll post later).
I'm seriously jet-lagged and MAD!
I've emailed Zazzle and will call when they're opened.
Now that is just plain "not right!" I would be furious too! Let us know what you find out! I think a hefty fine needs to happen!
ReplyDeleteNo, the company Noteable Expressions just gets a warning and Zazzle is removing the images.
DeleteHope you get swift action, Carol. I am still waiting for news of my case with Anthropologie. Who needs this stress? The good thing is that we have a way to check now.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathleen. Just found that an art director in Turkey has my painting in his/her portfolio. I had to email that person & then report it to the host company. Zazzle, mean while gives the other company a warning and takes the images down. Zazzle is international. I am just fed up with this. Again, I would not have known if it weren't for you. Thank you so much!
DeleteSo sorry to hear about your art being stolen.
ReplyDeleteI often wonder, what one can do about this. I too have some of my art out there.
I see you have coppyrights.. Did you register it! I do hope so.
Hope you get it sorted.

Check your images. This was the only one without a watermark because I stupidly thought the signature was enough back when I first started posting. It's watermarked now.
DeleteReally shocking, Carol.
ReplyDeleteIt is.
