Tuesday's Treats

I have a long, 4 day weekend coming up - two short weeks, which is really nice. I'll be able to get out there and take some photo's - something I didn't get to do last weekend at all!

I appreciate all the wonderful feedback on my recent flower shots! While I was thanking people for the comments/favs, I was distressed to come across a few who submit someone elses work to their own galleries....with either a "do not fav" note on it or a "not my work" note. That is NOT the appropriate way to feature work you like - that is done in your journal, linking back to the artist. If you don't have a sub or way to journal, too bad. You don't have permission from the artist, their name is nowhere on the piece or deviation comments and this isn't a free-for-all. These pieces even had faves and comments on it - people didn't read the description and didn't know that it wasn't their work and are faving the pieces as if it is theirs - therin lies the problem. And they weren't straightened out about it, either. Someone worked very hard on those pieces and you have no right to put them in your gallery, whether or not you say it's not your work - that doesn't make it ok. I have zero tolerance for stuff like that - consider yourself(YOU know who you are) reported and blocked. I think a lot more action needs to be taken and we all need to get tougher about it.

Now.....in the appropriate and accepted way of featuring someone else's work...I present these wonderful pieces to you - go visit and let these artist know you appreciate them!














Enjoy....I hope you see Beauty wherever your eyes lead you :heart:

:laughing: I am tired of reporting all those twits posting stolen work with small note *not mine*. :roll: dA should tighten policy about art theft.

I know it is tiresome....but that's probably what they're counting on. DA should tighten the policy for sure, but to be honest they've usually acted quite promptly when I've had to contact them - except in this instance - both deviants are still up to no good. I don't know that there is an easy answer, Irena, but I do know that doing nothing...changes nothing :D I don't know what the solution is, but I'm willing to help if someone comes up with one.
