    Of copyright and making nice conversation

    Sometimes it sadden me that people just ripped something they like from the Internet without reading the proper notice that appears along with it like “this image is subject to copyright”.

    This happened to me recently and below was the conversation:

    Hi, can you kindly remove the profile picture? It is my illustration that I did for Hush Puppies only. They paid me the licensing fee and somehow posted it on their website without the copyright notice that I want them to post.  If you still want to use this illustration, you need to pay me the usage fee.

    Da remove pon…
    Bak kata org msia…loghat sgt sampai need to pay the usage fee…tak heran sgt pun…i amik pun kat google..bkn ceroboh kat mane2 website org….
    (I removed already. Like the Malaysian likes to put it ‘fussing much’; that one has to go the the extend and pay to use the image. I don’t really give a care, I took it from Google, not taking from other people’s website.)

    Thank you. Saya cakap dengan baik. Kalau tak boleh terima, terpulanglah.
    Di google setiap image search akan disertai dengan ‘image is subject to copyright’.
    (Thank you. I asked you nicely and if you cannot accept it, what can I say. When you search images on Google. it will state “image is subject to copyright.)

    Illustrations made for Breadties

    The owner of Breadties commissioned me to do a cover for Breadties FB page that includes a young family balik kampung to see their granny with cookies from Breadties. This is what I came up with and he likes it! I did not have to change anything. Smooth experience. Thanks, Breadties!

    P/S My mood to draw is coming back slowly. Perhaps the excitement for Shawal has something to do with it.
