Caught w/hand in the digital cookie jar


This is an illo I did for Salon mag back in 1999 about video games and violence. An artist by name of Patrick Hildebrandt posted a comment here because he saw the illo on the Joystiq blog, with a link to the original Salon page! It was clearly a case of unauthorized use by the blog. Fellow SFGer John Reddinger saw the post and forwarded it to me. I sent Joystiq a stern, but educational email, and the image was soon taken down. Thanks, John!

Nice job John! But you couldn't have mentioned the site's name? Just, "an illustration community"??? ;)
