Julie Ann is amazing, as are all of your art dolls.
Congrats on some of your dolls going to the Cactus Gallery, thats an awesome collection of gifted artists.
I'll have to check out the Artistic Lending Support on facebook, thanks for pasting this info on.

So sorry to hear about this shocking behaviour. It's something I worry about too, with my paintings.

A friend suggested to me that as well as a watermark, only upload photos of around 350pixels as they cannot be enlarged to use as quality prints.

Take care and thanks for bringing this to light, it's a timely reminder to us all. Knowing that you have so much support from other online artists must be a consolation though. Hugs.x

Loopy (so sorry, I know your real name but you'll forever be Loopy =D

If you ever need....I dunno, a kidney, a character witness in court, or someone to front you a baja chalupa supreme...I'm your girl.

I'd send you my love but it might suffocate you, so just sending nice golf claps. I'm going back to my cry corner now. You suck...

XOXO - Everyone with a heart anywhere ever

This absolutely brought me to tears. I think a bit of my faith that there are still good people in this world was restored from a bad thing turning into something good!!! Thank you from myself & the entire ALS Facebook Community!!!!

I think you should report her to the police. Cyber-fraud has been committed and she should be brought to justice. I believed her and am so ashamed to have been scammed.

Sorry to hear of your work being ripped off! I'm glad that this persons page on FB is kaput. After a photograph of my sculpture was used for a calendar without my permission I've started watermarking EVERYTHING!

((((( Sara )))))

Even with her stealing pictures of our work, that's copyright infringement of our intellectual property.
And the fact that she used the United States Postal Service to perpetuate this fraud is a federal offense.

I just finished posting my 'story' and photos of my dolls on the Facebook page that's been raised in order to spread the word on this fraudster.

Isn't there anything you can do about it. On Peoples facebooks, isn't there a button you can click to report a member? I am sorry that someone has scooped so low. Obviously she has less than average morals. I wish you luck and protection for all your future work. xxx

2012-03-06T20:00:05.029-08:00

I am so sorry to hear this. I saw on ebay last year a seller duplicating the artwork of "Cart Before the Horse", cheap knock-off's of her work and style. Nothing she could do about it either.

I've recently had someone repeatedly contact me pressuring me to sell her my dolls undressed at a bargain basement rate (so 'she' could dress them) and I refused, because I figured it'd be too easy for her to put a crappy dress on it and sell it as my work for a profit.

My sister's work is regularly featured in magazines and she was contacted a couple years ago by a fellow 'designer' who wanted to purchase one of her velvet purses, and next thing we knew, we saw it featured in a magazine as the "designer's" own work. Fortunately the magazine printed an apology and the perpetrator was 'outed' as a fraud.

Hard to trust anyone these days.

Hi guys, while I'm not an artist I can fully understand your outrage. I am on FB, and am not blocked from seeing miss fraudsters site ;) I can tell you that all pictures of artwork have been removed, although im sure she has copies still to be printed and the original dolls she bought to sell at the benefit. I am truly sorry that this has happened to some of the most talented artists i have come across! For future saftey, please SIGN, WATERMARK or ENGRAVE your creations. I have had some of my pictures of Fashion designs stolen last year... The dead giveaway was that I was the model, so i recognised them as not only my designs but also ME!! So no, there is no level that people will not stoop below. I subsequently watermarked all my images, which google doesnt like. But i dont like their 'No Watermark' policy.

Dont stop doing your best work guys!

2012-03-06T14:46:01.143-08:00

Heya,

The page is still there but if you can't see it she's likely blocked you. Did you get my message on FB? Seems to me she's selling the prints & reselling the purchased dolls at that gallery I mentioned. She's showcased her "work" there before from what I've read.

Amazing are some of the things people will stoop to doing.

2012-03-06T12:59:54.056-08:00

So very WRONG!!!!!! I fear this kinda crap will continue as we become more of a cyber world. I don't like pininterest either! So what - people can just collect pictures of your work?? I don't get it. I feel like it is stealing too and infringing on copyright! Errrrr

2012-03-06T12:22:29.942-08:00

hey Loopy, Iris here.
I saw that story first thing this morning on Facebook, a friend shared the link and I did the same to spread the message.
I suppose that is the one good thing about the whole bloody mess that through Social Media the story spreads like wild fire and everyone gets to hear about it and can help.

Keep us informed!
