Art Thievery!!!

Hey my name is Mr. Wetly.....Mr. Farts Wetly......from Tightsville, Uranus. Home of the worlds smallest time machine. It's a time machine for ants.

_**Ahem**
...sorry, lets get into something more serious. Does everyone know about the website 'Tineye.com' tineye.com/ ??? Raise your hand if you've heard of Tineye. It's a reverse image search engine. That means you provide a image or a link to an image and it finds duplicates else where on the net. So it's great tool for us to keep track of our work. I've been using for a for years.....works fairly well. Although it's range isn't so great. Anyway, so on a spur of the moment I decided to search Google to see whether there were more of these 'reverse image search' sites, you know, cause might be useful to have other backup sites. I know of Gazopa.com....not as good as Tineye...

...it turns though that Google's got it's own version now. Created back in mid June.
Check it out www.google.com/insidesearch/se…
I was wondering what that little camera icon at the end of the search bar meant. I should have clicked on it early...haha

So of course I had to try it out. You know for shits and giggles....not expecting anything really.
So I searched using my favourite piece, my 'iinfected' fetus sculpture.
....and of course I had to find some dick using my work.
NOOOOO!!!
Some dickish fella from something called Project: Mooncircle www.projectmooncircle.com/artw…
NOOOOO!!!
Not only does take credit for my work, but he defaces it by removing my name. www.projectmooncircle.com/file…
I can see your damn photoshop 'clone tool' marks where you removed my name.
Ruined it with nasty black splotches...

...actually I'm a little flattered to be honest...haha
NOOOOO!!!
Don't be flattered, be angry.
Yeah I know, I should be, right?....but I'm a little more dissappointed than angry.
Dissappointed that he went to all that trouble to crop out my image and digitally remove my name, and yet was too lazy to make it prettier.
....damn thieving bastards are so effing lazy these days. Only doing the most minimal amount of work...
Seriously, would it have been so hard to put in a nice scenic background
......maybe draw a few flowers around the fetus.
Maybe placed amidst in a family photo. Graduation photo perhaps....haha.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not condoning this.....I just happen to hate laziness...

Anyway go check and see if you recognize any of your work is on his page, or the work of others that might not belong to him.


take care...drive safely
