DO NOT give your work away for a paste-up wall, by PamGlew on Sept 29, 2009 21:56:58 GMT 1, hey raiden, well in a nut shell, he bought some pics from me, then he sent me a message about his so called paste-up wall in his house & showed the pics on his flickr site that had lots of pretty good artists on it, so i thought in a silly generous way, why not, hes bought something, it'll get pasted up, why not. then i found it listed on ebay with lots of other paste-ups, & realised the scam, i now also reckon that he's just bluetacked the pics on the wall, so he can resell em,
yeah i guess there might be up-sides, i hope at least to be a bit more dilligent to this kinda thing in the future, its just annoying how something can get taken out of context..... the pics were really just test prints & one offs that are fine for a wall, but not really something i want to be seen on ebay as fully representative of my work, hey ho.
yeah cheers for buying some pics off my etsy shop, i do like having that shop when i have time to list stuff, it goes in waves of making big work, then making tiny work,,,,,, just started a series of drawings on an antique dictionary, and am intending to fill all the pages with a drawing, all 791 pages of it (although u may already know that as yr on my mailing list!) x feeling better after rant & support

DO NOT give your work away for a paste-up wall, by Ripper1331 on Sept 30, 2009 7:12:12 GMT 1, I sent some stuff to this user ages ago for this project and hearing he's selling them is pretty annoying.
The problem this poses, apart from what Pam said about sending stuff that might be fine for a paste up wall but not a representative piece of work that you would want someone to pay for, is that I, and I'm sure all other artists on this board, send out a lot of free things for charity auctions or sticker collectors or whatever. The end goal is not about making money or getting press with these actions - it's about helping out and giving back to something, or someone, with something you have lying around.
The few people who run these scams, for a few dollars here and there, really erode the faith that you have in these causes and they prey upon your goodwill towards fellow forum members.
If I get a link to the ebay store I have no problem outing the user as paybacks a bitch.

DO NOT give your work away for a paste-up wall, by schlomo on Oct 9, 2009 16:42:49 GMT 1, Dave contacted me ages ago about the paste up wall and asked for one of my tigers on paper so he could paste it. I sent him a big one, but i dont think it ever went up on his wall..... now of course this could be cos he got a lot better pieces to paste up and so ran out of room before mine got up there, but still a kick in the teeth when you see stuff like this going down. I'm sure he wouldnt have sold mine tho cos he wouldnt have got owt for it.....
Sorry to hear it Pam, but glad you're posting up on here these days, big fan of your stuff.
