I met somebody like this recently, he has a business where he sells 'prints' at car shows/swop meets and god only knows where else. I looked at the boxes of stuff that he had for sale all of which was not of a terribly high standard or indeed of much interest to me, so I causally asked him where he got this stuff from and he just as casually told me that he went down to the local copy centre and had dozens of copies of each made at a time.Originally Posted by inkworm
Had an enquiry from someone yesterday who claimed to have bought a load of my prints from an air show (they were very complimentary about my work). I didn't even know they were being sold at air shows! I'm concerned about where my work is being lifted from and what sort of quality it is. Plus I've not seen any money.
Waiting to find out more details but has anyone else had a similar experience?
Just staggering, but not nearly as staggering as what came next, he asked me if I would like him to sell some of my work. I politely declined.
Its the very reason that I place an intrusive watermark and only post low-rez images of my work here and elsewhere. I pity anybody that tries to reproduce it at any sort of quality.
Besides the occasional commission, drawing profiles will always remain little more than a time wasting hobby for me.
Its just a sign of the digital times.
