I assume that this was done without the artist's permission. http://cgi.ebay.com/INCREDIBLE-SuperGirl-Canvas-Artwork-Pop-Art_W0QQitemZ350046093457QQihZ022QQcategoryZ17084QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Posted on: 15 04 08 02:13 am

Considering the "location" of this image is in Australia and Serayala is in Mexico... I would say that it is a ripoff... The real rip off is that it only sold for $20.00 bucks.

Since 90% of manips are done using free model images, and we are doing pictures of copyrighted characters and we cannot copyright these images ourselves after posting them on the free internet. Then it becomes free game to whomever wants to use it. Sure we have standards that we live by as artists but just like we see stores selling prints of other famous paintings or photographs..i guess this falls in that same category. Yeah its sh** but what can you do? Posted on: 23 04 08 03:33 am
