Hello my friends,
It was with heavy heart that I have made the decision to remove my gallery today. I found six more images had been stolen. I could have gone through the moderators, but they really don't have the power to control these kinds of things. The site management could proactively help by adding invisible skins to help. I do understand, in this digital age we are in, that when we post an image on the internet, we are opening ourselves up to such criminal activities. If they truly want an image, screen captures are all that is needed. By not having the right click option or skins over images, this site has not truly protected or tried to protect your work, even on the basic level.
I will always treasure the time I have spent here and the friends I have made. I will check my site mail here if you wish to write me and answer, though many of you have my personal email address as well. I will not be making comments since this is the only image that will appear for a short period, then it will be gone too. I may return if options are added to protect us as artists, but for now, I am done.
Come see me at www.redbubble.com/bunnyclarke
Love and blessings to all my wonderful friends and fellow artists.
