Latest private canvas commission

[Voltjunkie]

I was suspended for spamming.

I didn't create the work, was just an easy/sneaky way of advertising the fact i print personalized canvases, I could have used one of my other older pieces.

But it's the exact same style of what i'm wanting to push for my site and just saved time making one myself.. not cool i know.

Call me a cynic but saying you've spent over 20 hours on a piece of work that's not your own (of quality which, to be honest, you do not appear to be able to replicate) to promote the fact you print personalised canvasses sounds like a lie to me

And as a reminder:

YES. THIS. BURN HIM AT THE STAKE.

Idk, he'll live and learn. We should accept that to err is human, TBH.

Precisely. The OP has seen what deception brings, thankfully it's in a light context so is simply a lesson learnt.

I think i would be able to replicate the same level really, not to be bigheaded, just being honest, I've got a lot of freelance work on atm and that style is what will sell canvases. I could have made my own, but I didn't have time.. so i just thought i'd wack that up to get some interest. And it worked.

and i know the rules.. it's the whole reason I've made the thread. it's sneaky advertising.

I know what i did was lazy and wrong. I've put my hands up.

This thread is a civil suit waiting to happen, and there are legit grounds too.

 

[Kristoph]

I did actually a canvas job out of it. which is making me feel quite awful :-/

was just to save time, and yeah. was ****ty of me.

Wow wow wow...

No one has noticed this?

You've charged someone for work that wasn't your own?! (£1800)

 

[Dan87]

it wasn't that image LOL..I'm not a criminal lol ..

there's no way that i could even print that image onto canvas it's only 72DPI..

i mean the interest in this thread got me a commission

hahah no there isn't.

I posted a picture of someones work on the Internet, telling people i do personalized canvas prints.. that is not a crime.

As a printer and graphic designer, I know the ins and outs of intellectual copyrights etc

 

[shifty_uk]

There's a big difference between low quality photo manipulation and graphic design...

 

[Kristoph]

You passed off someone elses work as your own and then made a sale because of the quality of the work you fronted as your own?

 

[Raymond Lin]

hahah no there isn't.

You used copyrighted work that does not belong to you and used it in a form of advertisement. Which you admitted.

The original owner of the work can pursue damages on the grounds of:-

1 - Damage to his reputation, as a potential buyer might not get the work in the same quality as the one you posted, thus damaging the original creater's reputation.

2 - Lost of earnings, as you posed as the creater of the image in relevance, you have effectively taken away 1 sale already from "Zac".

That's just 2 off my head, i am too tired to think of anymore.

 

[Kristoph]

I hope the guy who owns the work sees this.

 

[alexthecheese]

Want

Jesus monkey balls that is insanely cool.

 

[Andelusion]

I feel really embarrassed for you Dan...

This is quite a large fail, even compared to OcUK history and some of the members posted here, you rival mk1dubba tbh.

 

[benneh]

What a clown.


Someone forward this to zack. OP, gtfo.

 

[Dan87]

the design i was going to do for him was going to be designed by me.

was just a cheap way of showing you an example really. i'm going to give him back the deposit and not do it now though...

 

[^TANK^]

I hope the guy who owns the work sees this.

+1.

 

[Fiocca]

Well the guy has been an idiot and i think he realises this now. I think the embarrassment is punishment enough so maybe it would be a good idea to delete this thread?

No need for him to get in major trouble over a silly decision imo.

I hope he has learned that doing something like that is easily detectable and a deterrent, rather than anything worse.

Um.. really?

was done by hand 50% using a tablet, and the mouse was in my hand when creating it

thanks for the comments guys

Blatant tbh.

 

[Strife212]

[Kristoph]

it's not the right proportion to fit that res man and I wouldn't want to post a high res version tbh sorry!

I take my own photos on occasion but these images were provided for me by the girl that had the canvas done. I mainly use Istock/SXC etc

Thanks for the comments guys
