that's his ISP http://members.rott.chello.nl/waweijerse/donvanvlietintro.htm
that's his ISP hosted website, the URL of which can be used to learn his screen name.

contact him, if he doesn't change it or give you enough credit to satisfy you, contact their abuse department and get him booted

This kind of thing really blows. Today I went out and I put my umbrella in my shopping basket, and some expert thief has stolen it while I was looking at another way. Anyways, how ever did you find out about it? I would like to know if someone is stealing my artworks and calling it their own.

Sorry raist. The ripoff is so tactless and blatant I just couldn't help but laugh.

wow.. that is blatant.. :P

I noticed an unusually high number of hits when I was checking my hit counter.
I tracked those hits back to his page.
It gets worse! Look!
My artwork is on his site too!
I've sent him two emails so far but have not recieved a response and I notice the site is still unchanged.

Damn dude, you got robed. That guy's a strait hack. And now that you know he's using your art......He's screwed. That's copyright infringement. Plain and simple. If he doesn't remove your work immediately. Take a screen shot for evidence and get a lawer.

Gotta watch out for bastards like that.

Take it easy,

I like how he forgot to remove the link to your page at the bottom.

Ahcri · Posted: Sat Oct 20, 2001 10:01 am

Looks like he have changed the layout of his site..

I like how he said "[I thank] And myself for having a fabulous brain".

Raist - I think you're being too nice. *giggles* I would have gone over his head and had the site shut down by now. *grin*

Mindsiphon · Posted: Sat Oct 20, 2001 11:02 pm

I sent him an email telling him to take down my graphics and that he may post the "toughbunny" pic as long as he put a link to my site.
He sent me an email today asking if he could use my site layout and credit me!
Again I daid the site layout and graphics are off limits! Some people just don't get it.

Vesuvius · Posted: Sun Oct 21, 2001 7:08 am

he seems to have fixed it.

Jabberwocky · Posted: Wed Oct 24, 2001 8:24 am

Yeah Ahcri-
He has "a fabulous brain" for stealing someone else work and trying to pull it off as his own and getting caught.

At least when I use someone stuff I ask first just ask Jezebel... oh and Jezebel the site is site I'm not sure if everything is working or not... haven't messed with it in soooooooo long.

Hey raist, I really enjoyed peering through your artwork, they're quite unique. One piece that really caught my eye was the crow with the helmet (ndorendor1.jpg). I guess it was the detail in the texture of the feathers, and the amount of detail in the eye. I had looked through your tutorial, which was good, but can you tell me how you did the eye and the feathers? it looks so photorealistic. Its simply amazing.
