I hope this lady does keep creating art and comes back to blogging. <br />We all need encouragement and she sounds like she needed it so much. <br /><br />Copyright infringement as caused so much fuss. <br />I was at this end once also. My blogging friends helped me to stay an so pleased I did.<br /><br />What I wish for this lady is to come right back and keep going with her art. <br />keep away from using Suzi's art, which needed permission first.<br /><br />To show the people she is a beautiful being who deserves to create art and have friends here.<br /><br />Hugs!<br /><br />JulieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4398475559021495134.post-85159570953620443852009-11-08T03:29:28.413-08:002009-11-08T03:29:28.413-08:00wow!

This was a very successful and known artist. It hurts. I emailed her privately. I have also had people take my classes and then teach them. It gets confusing because I want people to learn but to use what I teach and turn around and teach it is very mind boggling. Then I think there is nothing original so let it go. But I did not mention any of this for public hangings. It just hurts. I think with the Internet being so available that pretty soon we will not know who created the originals. so I just let it go again and try not to focus on the negative. It also forces me to grow and try to do something new and different. I am so sorry that an artist died!!!nancye williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16105265849647320194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4398475559021495134.post-46408607148427941072009-11-02T15:13:17.000-08:002009-11-02T15:13:17.000-08:00I have almost a constant back and forth argument i...I have almost a constant back and forth argument in my head as to what is copyright infringement and what isn't. I haven't done the research and someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I was always under the impression that the original use for copyrighting something was to make sure that no one else made money off of your work or idea. But it seems to have morphed into this big, scary, ugly monster that is threatening to kill all ideas and art for good.<br /><br />In one of my graphic design classes in college we debated this issue and it was a toss up whether it would be copyright infringement if you used an image in a company presentation where it would only be shown to employees and would not be used to make money.<br /><br />We also have some ballooning friends who used to have a Mr. Potatohead balloon. They had it taken apart and made a new one because they didn't want to pay royalties to the Mr. Potatohead empire anymore. It seems like Mr. Potatohead should have been paying them. I mean, that was free advertisement, right?Sara_Ortizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01585142758309969766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4398475559021495134.post-91125019412642487062009-10-31T08:44:46.166-07:002009-10-31T08:44:46.166-07:00Dear Jackie I hope you have a wonderful and scary ...Dear Jackie I hope you have a wonderful and scary day.<br /><br />Love Renee xoxoReneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785932958464359112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4398475559021495134.post-48030143058559645792009-10-30T21:34:51.063-07:002009-10-30T21:34:51.063-07:00Although I agree with the underlining principal of...Although I agree with the underlining principal of not stealing another's art, I do agree with you and others that this was handled VERY poorly. It takes alot for ANY artist...even beginners, to find the courage to begin. it only takes one instance like this to crush MULTIPLE artists at the same time.Alexandra MacVeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17317852980496492650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4398475559021495134.post-69751105157298428672009-10-30T11:45:44.771-07:002009-10-30T11:45:44.771-07:00I'm so impressed by this post.

Public humiliation? To what end?<br /><br />Always best to follow the polite rules..speak to the offender first and then if nothing happens, make a public statement about how you feel about it and wish it wasn't so.<br /><br />From what you've said, it would behoove Ms. Suzi to make sure her own backyard is clean before she starts throwing anything towards anyone else. People make mistakes. If the woman said it wasn't her own art she wasn't being dishonest and trying to make a profit. Asking permission first is a good idea, but in this case, did this have to be done?<br /><br />Where is the respect?<br /><br />I loved your last sentence.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271529958269038071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4398475559021495134.post-72151725457702763422009-10-30T08:29:31.327-07:002009-10-30T08:29:31.327-07:00Jackie I am so excited, it is ridiculous.

I couldn'...Jackie, thank you for posting this! I couldn't agree more. I started watching SB on Ebay years ago when she was new, sweet and kind and I thought, innocent. I don't know what has happened.......she went from inspiring and encouraging people straight to scaring people like a school yard bully. <br /><br />I was too late to see the youtube video myself and have no clue who the person is but I would love to show her some support.<br /><br />Did you notice in the video where SB is going on and on about giving artists credit where credit is due? Not once, that I could hear or see, did she mention who's music was playing in the background. Maybe I missed it, but I was looking and didn't catch it. Wonder how that musician would feel?<br /><br />Anyway, I do like SB's work but I would never dare take a class from her. <br /><br />Thanks for your visit and I'm so glad I stopped by here too!<br />DarlaArt by Darla Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06992711283459621270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4398475559021495134.post-85024975243318587492009-10-27T14:13:23.742-07:002009-10-27T14:13:23.742-07:00Hi Jackie!

Its so sad that this lady has now stopped blogging... I just hope she doesnt stop creating because of it.<br />PS. In answer to your question over on my blog: There's no particular reason I don't drive. Its simply because I keep putting it off all the time, can bear the thought of a driving test and I'm just too darn lazy!!! It's still at the top of my "to do" lists though :-))Annette Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18170749707426910249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4398475559021495134.post-89724934805168445052009-10-27T09:21:43.462-07:002009-10-27T09:21:43.462-07:00Thank you for speaking up.

She had an opportunity to turn it into a teaching moment and she chose public humiliation instead. <br /><br /> What disgusts me more is that she can be such a hypocrite. <br /><br />Do you think she and Mara got permission from Tascha before doing the Little Red and Wolfie class? Wolfie is a complete rip off of Tascha's wolf softie from the cover of STUFFED as seen here: www.stampinton.com/html/stuffed_w09.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4398475559021495134.post-23424806338896365192009-10-26T09:11:32.430-07:002009-10-26T09:11:32.430-07:00Thank you so much sweet Jackie.

I can only imagine how hurt and upset this poor woman must be feeling. I sincerely hope it does not put her off teaching or making art in the future.<br />Thank you Jackie for being brave enough to speak up for what you believe in.Rhomanyhttp://rhomany.org.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4398475559021495134.post-72464039093759945882009-10-21T23:56:58.380-07:002009-10-21T23:56:58.380-07:00While I agree with Suzi in principle, I'm not ...While I agree with Suzi in principle, I'm not real proud of how she handled the situation.
