I didnt have to to clean it up but look at this and you will get the genereal idea. Basically, Jamies artwork has been ripped off, and used in the ministers art award competition and is up on display.

OI DUDE  
Pasquale says:  
MAJOR ISSUE THAT CONCERNS YOU  
Pasquale says:  
today my class went to the art gallery- where entries for the ministers awards were displayed- for people all around my region my age.  
Pasquale says:  
I saw an entry that was very wrong  
Pasquale says:  
the image had all the elements of your first vectorart style ( of course \*\***tied up) including a tree, a ribbon snaking around it and flat bottomed clouds with drips  
Pasquale says:  
I definately know it has been a rip of your work  
Pasquale says:  
and its in an australian temporary gallery at a university  
Pasquale says:  
i have pictures of teh offending art  
Pasquale says:  
i need to get them from my phone to the computer sometime  
Pasquale says:  
but i showed all my mates  
Pasquale says:  
and they said it is DEFINATELY a rip  
Pasquale says:  
and I am thinking you and me shoudl take some action- seeing as your work should not be able to be exploited in that way.  
Pasquale says:  
you have had that picture in your devinatart account for a while- so im sure that helps validify copyright infringements  
Pasquale says:  
hope you get this message

OK I got one of the images I took of the ripped work:**

CLEARLY ripped (\*\*\*\*tily- excuse my french) from Jamies art style, the thin snakes is also a thing i do (Though not a concept I claim to be my own- I use it within my animation intros - also reflected in the ripped work)

the original tutorial (recovered) is located [here](http://www.fadedpixel.com/source/groovy_vector_art.html)- which explains how to create “groovy vector art”

\*edit lol how come everything I am involved in ends up getting corrupted by n00bs?
