ALTERED ART AND A LOAD OF TAT: Credit where Credit is due...!

Thursday 3 June 2010

Credit where Credit is due...!

I came upon this blog a few days ago, cant quite remember how I got there, blog hopping probably, but I am glad I did, some gorgeous yummy stuff going on here! http://purplemissus.blogspot.com/ you must take a look!

I love it when crafters/artist's share their knowledge, what I don't like is when people take ideas/inspiration and even worse copy something but then claim it as their own idea. Which is why it was warming to read this on the Purplemissus Blog .........

'I got this from Pat, who got it from Ati, who got it from Anni, who saw the tutorial on Roben-Maries blog here – and just couldn’t resist having a go at it'

So I would like to say that

I got this from Lynda who got it from Pat, who got it from Ati, who got it from Anni, who saw the tutorial on Roben-Maries blog here – and just couldn’t resist having a go at it'

Yes yes I know its pink and I don't do pink, but it is going to be a part of a project for Junes Altered Element DT project, Boy! Lynne has sent me some exciting stuff to play with this month! I have an idea of what I am going to do with it but there will be lots of elements to it, so they may appear in dribs and drabs as I do them

My (oh sorry not mine but Lynda's via Pat via Ati via Anni from Roben-Marie) Shabby Chic Rose is part one....

Nicks, why didn't you put this on your blog BEFORE I went shopping today. I ended up buying a flower for my new jacket that perhaps isn't what I really wanted. You could have saved me some money by "donating" it to me! lol. This is fab! Or should that be Lynda who got it from Pat, who got it from Ati, who got it from Anni, who saw the tutorial on Roben-Maries blog , this is fab! lol

COMMENTS - Thank you for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate your views. I am sorry I have had to add 'word verification' (i find it very annoying myself) but I am getting increasing amounts of spam - please don't let it stop you commenting xx

Art should be shared....

But I have found someone totally copying some of my stuff (why they would want to heaven knows) and claiming it as their own inspiration... so while I find it a complete honour for people to gain a little inspiration from my tat, please be honest.
We all get ideas from other artists, thats how the art world flourishes, but please note that all artwork, photos and text on this blog are mine. I am more than happy for you to take inspiration from my work, but please do not attempt to copy or reproduce it without crediting the original idea to me.
Thank you

while i think there is a place for most things at some time or other...I do dislike peel-offs with 99% of my being, but and this is a BIG but there is the odd and very odd occasion that they can be used without being too offensive (boy that hurt, it was almost an admission that i have used them)

WHAT ARE ATC'S??? Artist Trading Cards

Miniature works of art created on cards have been around for centuries, largely used as business cards. The modern-day concept of ATCs was conceptualized by artist M.vanci stirnrmenn in 1996, an idea born of older sports themed trading cards, and became a movement that denounced the tradition of critiquing and appraising art, and embraced the process of one artist connecting with another and exchanging styles and techniques.
ATC are art collectables but the one rule that makes an ATC derive from their origins: the dimensions of the ATC must be 2.5"x3.5", or 64x89mm.
To this rule are appended a couple of conventions. First, an ATC mustn't be sold, only exchanged, as the whole essence of these tiny works of art is about artists meeting in person, by correspondence, online etc and exchanging their works, thus getting exposed to and experiencing many personal styles and techniques. Second, on the back of each ATC the artist writes part or all of the following information: name, contact information, title of the ATC and number (i.e. if it's a one off original or part of a series).
