Hi dear friends

It seems that my stolen artwork has been removed by PHOTOBUCKET admin. You can see that it no longer displays my artwork with ugly red words here

And this is my work that has been stolen (for the third time):


If your work is being ripped in PHOTOBUCKET, just email the admin at abuse@photobucket.com. I must warn you that the procedure is very tedious, you must include the following details. Here is the reply that I get when I only include the link to the original and fake artwork the first time I sent the email:

Well, for me that's a lot of personal information to be revealed just to fight for your own right. It is easier for the thieves to steal than for us to fight for our own right. So just be ready.



Project Stacee

I think I'll join this project soon. As for now, I would like to invite all of you to join as well. This project for me is not really a competition, but more onto putting our effort to help other people; to make them happy. Here is some info about the project:



The above photo is a picture of Stacee. Stacee was only 8 years old when she and her mother tragically died on October 17, 1999. The photo was taken shortly before their deaths. Stacee would have been 17 years old this year.

Stacee's grandmother only has this single photo of Stacee. As you can see, the image is badly damaged.The objective of this project is to invite artists to either restore the photo or use it as a reference to create art work in any medium for Stacee's grandmother and the rest of their family.
