Copyright Violation Update #1

polishtamales:

If you guys didn’t catch it, my entire MTG folder on DA was recently deleted for copyright infringement. At this time, there is no confirmation if it was reported by a salty member of the DA community or WotC/Hasbro’s Legal team.

I have filed an appeal with DA, but it seems that I won’t be able to get a response back from them in reasonable time. For that reason, I have re-uploaded the deleted artwork and various parody MTG comics. If my account gets suspended, so be it, I will fight for my 1st amendment rights as well as  the parody laws protecting me as an artist.

Due to these recent events, I will use this Tumblr account to post pre-production work, as well as the finished works. The DA account will still get updates, but it will no longer be a priority as it was before.

In the meantime, I would like to thank everyone in the community for their support. Both fans at Deviant Art, Twitter, and my followers on Tumblr!
