Seven months later, guess what "new" idea showed up on the bedding used on their cover, with another 4 or 5 in their line? To short artists a commission or fee is simply stupid business practice. For short money they could have paid for the ideas or even hired someone to make any of those concepts their own, not such direct ripoffs.AquaMarine Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04649479943433426151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750972331143591428.post-73533422634369230342013-10-29T10:58:37.095-04:002013-10-29T10:58:37.095-04:00I've been reading about this, too, and it infu...I've been reading about this, too, and it infuriates me!

It means so much to me to hear your sweet and sincere words. I am almost never the person who will say negative things about others, but in this case I truly wanted to get the message across and speak for all the other artists who have been effected.<br /><br />Thanks again!<br /><br /> Vintage by Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10120882316424510880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750972331143591428.post-48975793488476558072013-10-28T11:48:30.123-04:002013-10-28T11:48:30.123-04:00Hi Crystal: Fortunately, I have never bought any ...Hi Crystal: Fortunately, I have never bought any of Cody Foster's merchandise, but I just plugged in "Cody Foster spun cotton" into ebay and got the listing below. If it is a copy of your work, it is a very poor copy, but still...<br /><br />http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cody-Foster-Folk-Art-Spun-Cotton-Red-Butterfly-Fairy-/350445724147?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51983161f3<br /><br />I also came across an article about Lisa Congdon. It seems she hasn't been "truthful" either.<br /><br />http://faso.com/theartedge/66723/lisa-congdon-vs-cody-foster-what-about-the-photographers<br /><br />Anyway, I just wanted to express my sorrow for these circumstances and say "Yay, for those with Intregity" in this world. <br /><br />p.s. I love your work!clarenceandoliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10511722162478540215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750972331143591428.post-41452470310948530512013-10-27T23:06:49.358-04:002013-10-27T23:06:49.358-04:00Holy smokes !

I have collected some his stuff - but quite frankly ... the quality of his work is pretty poor. No comparison to yours Crystal. None at all !

It was a disheartening, as people (who often can't perceive distinctions so well) confused our work.<br />The "made in China" or anywhere else, for cheap , as a knock off, is an issue I could reinstate my activist side again for. Even so called or "genuine" Fair Trade, in the bigger picture, is still an economic disparity-maker . As I said to a customer recently, real fair trade is here when most peoples are living without duress for their necessities of life, and can exercise spiritual creative freedom to share their unique gift and contribution to the whole, in full support from others.<br />Thank you so much for exposing this person who is exploiting so may: the artists and all the poor factory workers, children and naive consumers!Donna LaPrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750972331143591428.post-88693782233523745402013-10-26T10:09:49.784-04:002013-10-26T10:09:49.784-04:00Omg!!
