So today I went to the Georgia Aquarium for the first time. Living literally 15 minutes from Atlanta, it's a little ridiculous that its the first time I've been able to go. I've been wanting to for a loooooong time. I got crazy inspiration for new pokeymans ideas left and right. It was awesome.

But you know, I find it funny that the last few times I've almost started going back to drawing new pokemon I end up getting discouraged by my "fans".

I'm going to clarify this one last time. Only once more. And I would really, really recommend not challenging me on this.

Do NOT alter my images. Period. Don't do it. DO NOT remove the watermark. For any reason. If you ask to use my art elsewhere and I give the go as long as I'm given credit, that doesn't mean it's suddenly become okay to remove the watermark. Do you know why it's there? To stop people from ripping my shit off. If you upload it elsewhere, even if you have permission, and take the watermark off, you just make it easy for other people to take those watermark-less images and claim them as their own elsewhere.

Also, do not take my stuff and barely alter it, then claim it as your own. Especially if you're too lazy to even come up with a new name for it. If you barely change the design and the name is even the same, it isn't yours. Credit is not difficult to give. Its just a few words. Do it.

As a result, I'm about to go back and make an even bigger, more difficult to remove watermark that WILL block parts of the image intentionally, and may even block a cool little detail. So if you can't see a certain detail, you know what? That sucks. It really does. I'd prefer to not have to hide my art behind masks. I upload it here to show it off, in all honesty. Who doesn't upload it here for that purpose. I like to hear what people think, and it makes me feel good when people like what I've done. Therefore it seems a bit stupid to have to hide what I've worked on. But my hand is being forced. Its pretty damn stupid. And I'm at the end of my tolerance for finding my artwork uploaded elsewhere in a state I have not given the okay.

I am so sorry that explains why it has been a while since you have posted anything. I will look out for any images of yours and make people take them down.
