It seems once a year I'm dealing with copyright theft.

ETA: A lot of things have been removed, and I've been given a form response which sounds like it may have been issued before to other artists. That said, the items have been removed. I just need to double check a couple of others and go back through, but we have progress.

This 'gentleman' username Richardariton over at Ebay has been thefting my images for profit:

I've sent him and am still sending him some messages (since Ebay encourages this first if you're a member, before going through their VERO system), but I don't like my chances. I've also spotted another DA artist he's infringing the copyright of too. Asshole.

Photo/s of the day: Progression.

Moet and Maybe were sitting at the front door looking at the outside world (since they're not allowed outside, I like to give them as much sunlight and 'smells from outside' as possible). As the sun was back-lighting, I thought it'd make a nice photo.

But then Moet turned and saw me and decided he wanted pats from me instead of sunlight.





And then Maybe wanted to know what was happening. Notice how Moet hasn't stopped looking directly at me? Welcome to Moet's consistent eye-contact. Also, notice how he now has happy tail? I love his happy tail. :)
