Taken & uncredited work

Tue Jul 10, 2007, 5:26 AM
Hi there!

This is me (not looking my best :P) holding my most prided drawing!



I was looking for pictures of Rossi's 46 as he uses it on his bike, & typed "valentino rossi 46" into a Google image search

& what do I see? My artwork as the first two results of the search, only the watermark was removed & it had been used in a small graphic that a designer has used to accompany a blog entry of his on his website.

Now, I'd be flattered by this but not only did he edit out my water mark all he's written about the image is:

"Edit: sorry, was totally headbanged by the race, forgot to tell something about the image:46 .used an inked image transformed from a poster, added the official rossi colour ( Yamaha Camel ), picture previously used at my ole’ blogger account."

So where's my credit? I don't appreciate him just using my art however he sees fit without even acknowledging me.

I'm currently typing an e-mail to send, asking for the image to be removed or proper credit given to me & links back to my gallery here.
