so these guys posted my work on their website without my permission it appears to be with the intention of luring new artists into paying to participate in some art event. here's the link www.worldartfoundation.org/travislouie.htmlI'm not happy  |

Geez that sucks Travis. They really went out of their way to make it seem like you are "with" them.
It's atrocious that people on the net would blatantly misrepresent themselves by stealing people's profiles. Hoepfully they'll listen when you talk to them.

Do you register your work with the Library of Congress? EVERYONE here creating art should do this, can can submit it by photos - as many as you can fit onto a disc at a time for the single fee. Volume 1, Volume 2, and on down the line. It comes in very handy when you want to get paid on things like that, as well as have them removed - collectively or individually. It takes six months or so to get the receipt back, but the works are registered copyright as soon as the LOC receives them. Please check it out and pass it along. www.copyright.gov/ |

Scroll down a bit. www.worldartfoundation.org/News.htmlBy the way these people seem to have got a bit of a reputation (google). |

What the heck? have you contacted them yet about this Travis? It really concerns me that people would do this to artist. If you could, I would really love to know what their response is to this.

I actually just contacted them of behalf of Travis and they thought the page had been taken down some time ago- I think Travis found some kind of archived page. Never should have gone up but they were very polite and got back to me right away.

Interesting bio there, Travis. I didn't know you were from LI. I grew up there too. Loved watching those monster movies as well on Chiller Theater
