BEWARE! THIEF ON THE LOOSE!!

EDIT!: the facebook page has been removed and sttercat apologised. please still be aware of people stealing graphics as it is a growing issue on stardoll. always watermark or protect your published work!

i never watermark my graphics, mainly because i see it as a very over cautious and egotistical thing. but from now on, i probably will

it seems that some people still find it acceptable to STEAL the artwork of others. it appalls and disgusts me. i put 100% into all of my graphics, i work endless hours creating my pieces, and for people to just take them from under my nose is just foul

the thief in question is none other than

sttercat

sttercat has a blog named STARDOLL MODELLINE  and the header of that blog is made by and credited to another use, all's fair. but not until you click her facebook page link, do you see why i'm upset

CLICK HERE TO VISIT AND REPORT THE PAGE!

as soon as you click on the page you can see that both the header image and profile picture are of a graphic created by me which i posted on this very blog not so long ago. i can confirm that i did not give sttercat permission to use this graphic at all. if you continue to scroll down the page, you will see various  other graphics from designer such as myself, kasey, khol, mikel, nika and more. she does not credit ANY of the images to the original designers, nor do i expect she asked for permission to distribute any of the images.

i am disgusted by this girls acts, she should be ashamed. please do not turn a blind eye to this, as it affects many graphic designers and is a very frustrating experience! graphics are made to be enjoyed and admired by audiences, not stolen! if you want to support your favourite designers and blogs such as the graphic vault, please help us to stop people like sttercat by reporting her and any other people you see stealing graphics!  

thank you and always be careful
