Wow. People have nerve. ATTN Miss Yoko

Miss Yoko, I don't know if you still frequent here, but I thought you would want to know this person has stolen your pics. According to a FP friend of mine of facebook, this person steals a LOT of people's pics, so you all might want to take a look and see if any of yours are there.

That is very plainly Yoko's valentine cat on the right. On her website. As her profile pic.

yet if you look HERE on her facebook, you can see her (frightening) rendition of that same design.

Talk about false advertising!

Whohoooooo! What a nerve! I bet most of the small pics on the first page aren't from her either, so many different styles and levels of skill!

Agrees. It looks like they were done by all different people.

LOL at "Special Mention: We had our art displayed on the front page of the Times Daily (the dominant newspaper of NW Alabama). Unfortunately we were not given credit for our work, ... Oh well "

Hmm I guess now she knows how it feels!

at least the kids are smiling..........

......They haven't seen the mirror yet.

You know guys I had a dream (I guess a nightmare actually) that my mom and I took my son a face painting booth. They were using crap like Crayola markers and crayons and nothing FDA approved. For some weird reason I guess my son still got face painted and when he spun around it was just a black circle over one of his eyes.
I totally let them have it. LMAO! Told them I would show them what real face painting is. lol *weird*

lol Suzy .......Well what comes around goes around....

Wasn't there a thread ages ago about someone stealing Miss Yoko's look but changing the colour?? Same hair pieces etc.. there were a few verbal punches pulled if I recall...

Wow

Yikes!!

Hey, don't some of those belong to Ashley and Lilly?

I can hardly believe people. Well, having the over developed sense of justice that I have, I emailed her. Here's what I said.

Hi Sandy!
I saw your website and facebook page. I can tell that you are a very busy face painter, with plenty of action. You are a very talented up-and-coming artist, and I wish you well.
However, using photographs of someone else's work is not only misleading to your prospective clients, but unethical and considered theft. There are several pictures that I recognize as other people's work, specifically the one you have showing as your profile pic on your blogger website. This is unacceptable in the face paint community, and I must advise you to remove it, as well as the other photographs that are not your own work.
You stated that your artwork appeared in your local newspaper, but that your company wasn't given credit. I'm sure you see the irony.
I am choosing to write you privately, instead of posting directly to your facebook wall, as a professional courtesy. We all make bad choices sometimes, and I understand how daunting it is to get our work out there in the community. Please do the right thing.

Respectfully,
Diane Thomas

I'll let you know if I hear back.

Would you hire her if she painted herself like Yoko, and then even wasted the calories to post picture of some of the other faces? I mean...poor thing. It just makes you wonder. She must understand what good painting is, so by putting up bad line work, next to good line work, and good blending next to terrible blending...it just, well, makes it even more obvious that some of that work is not hers, or, it says that she is an extreeeeeeeeemly patchy painter, meaning that one in 100 painting is fabulous, and the other 99 are not so much. I would be disapointed in that work, especially the picture that you might think was the artist...upon first glance, leads you to think that you are getting world class talent.

I did notice Chucklor's avatar painting. I'm going to PM her.

If she is pretending to be MissYoko in her avatar... isn't that identity theft?!
