Made in China

Posted 2 weeks ago

I passed this information to another user privately, but I feel it is an important issue so I would like to pass it further along calmly.

[Go to Storm-Artists article]

While I was browsing Storm-Artists, I happened upon this user's new article that tells of an alleged book published in China that is a compilation of several dozen artists' works and interviews and is being sold for $100 a unit. However, the crux of the matter is that none of the artists' works or interviews featured in the book were licensed, thus rendering the book made entirely of stolen artwork. I encourage users to read up on this themselves and do their own investigating. By my observation, I don't think the book is being supported by any major retailer and thus the danger of purchasing such a dubious title is unlikely, but not impossible. I am reminded of browsing Amazon for Ranma ½ merchandise and found a product that a user warned against as being a Chinese bootleg.

Again, I encourage users to engage this conscientiously. The alleged existence of this book has aroused some philosophical thoughts in myself that I might discuss later.

    Thank you for the fave of "Mystery", take care! =+}
    Empty words of adulation and appreciation do not allow an artist to grow. Overly critical and out right attacks on an artists' work are even more damaging.

      I can appreciate atypical fare being brought in to break up the monotony of this site's titular genre. Thank you for sharing your work and welcome to Furry Art Pile!
