Bah humbug. That has been my feeling about the internet since March. That was when I discovered my artwork was being used without my permission. A friend shared a St. Patrick's Day meme she found on Facebook. To my surprise, the image featured my leprechaun on a motorcycle that longtime blog readers know well. Someone outside of the US stole my image, added Harley Davidson logos to the bike (trademark infringement), then signed the meme as their creation. Needless to say, I have been reluctant to share artwork on the internet since.
It is the holiday season, however, and this year marks the twentieth year of my cards. I am posting my card. Please respect the copyright laws and request permission from all artists before sharing their artwork on social media.
I hope the love and laughter you experience this week follows you into the new year. Be kind to one another.
