No way am I going to let those meanies get in my way. If You follow my twitter, you would have known all the drama that ensued after my previous post. Basically, I got an email from those guys saying that they can take legal action against me since I'm defaming their business. Say what? Yes. Those people. No comments. So here I am, trying very very hard not to get my spirit broken and hopes down. I've chosen to post a pictures of what makes me happy instead. These are all pictures taken in my studio. My little space makes me happy and that's that.
Now, those meanies can go ahead and bring me down in whatever way they want to, but they will never ever be able to take the happiness I get from working in a creative space along my joy of making art away.
PS: I've been thinking of watermarking my work but it just doesn't help it at all. If they are able to steal a range of my work and photoshop it in such a way whereby it all flows, I am sure photoshopping my name will be easy peasy.
Those label drawings are amazing!! Don't stress Dawn, they're totally just trying to scare you away. They stole your work. They're the ones in the wrong!!
ReplyDeleteKeep painting lovely things :))
How dare they !!!! Keep the spirit up Dawn!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Dawn! Your attitude and response towards this crappy situation and these crappy people is really inspiring :)
ReplyDeleteLove those tags!
Dawn they are trying to intimidate you, don't fall for their games.
ReplyDeleteIn fact you are in the position to sue them- if you had a huge amount of money and time and energy to waste on it.......
Time to go to the newspapers again- there are so many local designers and artists who are being ripped off both locally and overseas and sadly the internet has a lot to blame for this happening.
Chin up and keep doing your beautiful work.

Dawn, I'm glad you trying to keep up the spirit! They are the ones in the wrong, and they know it. We're all here for you and we'll show them who's boss!
ReplyDeleteWe are behind you Dawn in your outrage! You are an artist & you've inspired my daughters. Love your work and inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI read about your work in Frankie. Yes, I read Frankie even though I'm all the way back here in Singapore. And this really appalls me... keep at what you're doing!!! I really like your artistic style!!!
ReplyDeleteDawn you are the greatest! even if your hard work isn't translating into money yet, think about how well known you are... I love seeing your work when I open Frankie and so on! You are loved, I think. For sure.
ReplyDeleteWhen I have a job all my target teatowels will be replaced by dawn teatowels <3
I hope those scalpers get what's coming to them.
Chip cup = awesome. Mmm chips.
ReplyDeletethe hamburger look so yummy! fighting Dawm!
ReplyDeleteugh how frustrating! that must make you feel so angry! one of my fave illustrators Gemma Correll has had the same problems (as many others, I'm sure). Here's a post she did for the site You Thought We Wouldn't Notice: http://youthoughtwewouldntnotice.com/blog3/?p=9719
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! Your works are fabulous. If they dared take action against you, it would probably backfire on them since they stole your work - and everyone can see that so clearly!
ReplyDeleteKeep your spirits up!

Urgh, those people are disgusting . . .
ReplyDeleteWhy would they try and take legal action against you, it will only backfire on them because they're the ones illegally stealing your work for profit! :/ Honestly, how stupid. I know that they're just trying to scare you by saying that, don't back down Dawn! Everyone supports you!
Don't let the meanies get you down! I love your work and find your blog really inspirational. There are so many people behind you who support you so don't give up!
