Apart from the Changi V copy cat, there's another one. This one should have been copying me much earlier. March 2009 in fact.
This is my design 'Daisies' CL712W. Copyrighted 2007.
It's been copied by another 'student' who runs a blogshop which is on a 'study break' right now.
(I'm not putting her URL up yet. Awaiting her response to my email)
Oh, she changed the petal shapes but the colours have been copied exactly, so have the positioning of the stems and the bugs. Most importantly, my signature dashes round the flowers have been copied exactly around her flowers. I've sent this 'student' an email. She had better heed my kind words (I'm too kind - must be age). You know what's sad? She's not a bad artist. She copies Disney and other copyrighted designs pretty well. I mean, I've seen ugly copied designs but she's not too bad. But again here, sorely lacking in integrity. I'm not sure if these fly-by-night sellers know that they are opening themselves up to lawsuits by the big guns. I will NEVER copy Disney designs. I'd rather lose my customers than have my ass sued for a few dollars' profit.
Darn! I really should take a bow. My designs MUST REALLY BE GOOD that others can't help but copy them! I mean, MADE IN SINGAPORE shoe artist. How cool is that? Being copied by them, sorta puts me in the same league as Disney! How cool!
Either that, or the copycats must really suck at drawing and painting to have to stoop so low. Sian is the word (sick and tired / blueh *vomits*).
Look, I'm not Disney, I'm not LV. I don't MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY on this hobby. I just love painting. I get satisfaction seeing my work sold. So once again, for aspiring copycats, get your blardy inspiration somewhere else.
To all other potential copycats, I reiterate: We are a registered business and our designs are copyrighted.
If you can read this at all, you will have understood that I mean business.
