WTF?

I was informed of several places where my art is being posted without my permission and the person(s) are claiming to be me.

http://foundmyself.com/gallery/index.php?cat=11107

http://museum.reiddust.com/wing/main.php?g2_itemId=2737

http://www.xanga.com/xxbalaaxx / http://profile.xanga.com/xxbalaaxx

Now sometimes this happens, but usually maybe once a month or so..but not 3 places in one day. I am lead to wonder if this is the same person. I don't want anyone to flame these people, I will be writing the webmasters of each of these sites and getting my work..or the usage of my legal name, removed.

To clear up for ANYONE that ever stumbles upon any galleries/blogs/whatever there may be out there where my art starts to appear, here are the places I have accounts thus far.

Furaffinity Username: Balaa
Deviantart Username: Balaa
Fanart.lionking.org Username: Balaa
Livejournal Username: xxBalaaxx

Those that I don't update frequently
Sheezyart Username: Balaa
Epilogue Username: Balaa

I may have a few other OLD accounts floating around, in those cases chances are they have not been updated for a few months to a few years in each case.

So if you see my work being uploaded on some other site that isn't listed above, pleeaase contact me. Usually I don't bother to post anything about such matters in my lj, but this just boggled my mind completely.

So weird

I'm the webmaster of Foundmyself, and saw this link in my logs. What a weird thing for someone to do, and as you've probably seen I've taken down the gallery on my site. I'll keep my eyes peeled in the future. Sorry for any inconvenience. Amazing art, by the way!

Sincerely,

Trevor

Thank you Trevor! I certainly didn't expect a responce here in my livejournal, but I thank you on behalf of all the artists this happens to and hope that no negative ramifications reach your site. Thank you for your part!

Kindly,
