I love when you say be brave. I must admit as I have walked thru life, growing in my craft, there have been times I wanted to grey the lines on some of my work and am so grateful that I chose the higher road. It is always challenging, especially when there is art you really like and identify with. You made a good point that not everyone knows the artists and may not know a copy or knockoff. We are all responsible for our choices and I will not forget this post.

Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (which has ironically been famously plagiarized & borrowed). Integrity and ethics take resolve and stamina especially in this digital sharing day & age. Thank you for continuing to fight the good fight for us little guys!<br />Jenthe messy nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11809458552407135398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7506862622311338063.post-60058427115838330102013-10-24T13:18:10.882-05:002013-10-24T13:18:10.882-05:00Margo, I'm totally with you on this!

Those who know you Margo know what a great collaborator you are!! :)) <br /><br />I think this economy has companies and ppl running scared and such the case their will probably be more companies ripping off artists just to make the goods without paying royalties. Oh it may not look exactly the same but you know who it is they are ripping off. Its not pretty.ellencrimitrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15738595455245491875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7506862622311338063.post-85564573558811678402013-10-20T14:55:42.975-05:002013-10-20T14:55:42.975-05:00it would be nice if everyone had your integrity, b...it would be nice if everyone had your integrity, but sadly it is not the case. I cannot tell you how many times I have been ripped off. I decide to just keep one step ahead of the game since you cannot afford to go around suing everyone.<br /><br />The worst is when other artists rip you off- how can they even claim they are an artist- basically they are copy cats! I have a great artist friend who was ripped off beyond not only by her style, but her client knew it and still took the other artist's work since they were getting it cheaper! This artist has ripped off many others- she has no real style she copies those who are original. <br /><br />Obviously no one can corner the market on animals with patterns in them or typography design since many use the same quotes, but you can refrain from making it look exactly the same. <br /><br />I also want to say forget about companies ripping of artists with their actual work- how about ripping them off with crappy contracts. Only the savvy artist can negociate a great royalty and advance. Those who have no idea are getting ripped off by the day. Know your worth people and know where the cutoff will be. Its not enough to be creative today you really need a head for business!!ellencrimitrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15738595455245491875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7506862622311338063.post-5430723108488280712013-10-20T14:31:52.680-05:002013-10-20T14:31:52.680-05:00Amazing post.

Your voice and your soul need to be out here in 'blogland'! I have so much to say about this post... I don't even know where to begin!<br /><br />The first time this happened to me... I was shopping in a chain store... walked by their accessories department... and there it was... one of my holiday pieces.. filling the racks....as a cheap knock off of the hand made pieces that left my studio... I can still recall that instant.. like it was yesterday.<br /><br />I love what you wrote here... because your soul and passion ... and integrity shine through so very brightly! I envy any artist lucky enough to be working with and supported by your intense artist's soulful spirit... YOU my dear Margo... are one of a kind!Tamera Beardsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00855427513744644731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7506862622311338063.post-22010412069749612562013-10-19T23:28:56.725-05:002013-10-19T23:28:56.725-05:00Thanks for continuing to educate the world about w...Thanks for continuing to educate the world about what we, as solo artists, must deal with as we try to create and make an honest living.<br />I'm thankful that Lisa brought this to light and that so many folks are joining in this discussion.<br />Best, Katya (a.k.a.
