If you steal or plagiarize, be very, very, afraid! - And that goes for 'Mr. Splashy Pants' as well!

Here is a link to a new blog where designers, artists, writers and others can 'out' those that steal and/or plagiarize from them. Expect this site to be on the radar of everybody that has been "borrowed from" and just about every Fortune 500 back ground check wanting to ensure if their potential new hire creates fairly.

The above is an example of an original design by Fabio Catapano being usurped for a Greenpeace, "Save the Whales," campaign. Unless Greenpeace can come up with a license which proves they have de facto rights for this "Mr. Splashy Pants, this artwork will appear to be absolutely stolen from Catapano.

The blog is called: ["you thought we wouldn’t notice but we did!"]

Hmmm...I do believe I'm the original creator.

Are you the creator of the illustration on the left?

IMO, The Greenpeace illo is a conceptual copy.

Yes, I created the image for my children's book. Unfortunately, the image has been attributed to Fabio Catapano for some reason.
