So this spanish book company just put out this new book. Completely ripped every single image from the net, many from the illustration portal the little chimp society .... Check the blog link. Its pretty unbelievable.
Here's an email from Darren DiLeito, who also runs the Hire an Illustrator website:
"Just a short and sweet newsletter. Although a number of you already know, I just wanted to bring to the attention to those who don't that recently the LCS was plagiarized (images and LCS interviews) and published as a book called Colorful Illustrations 93 degrees C! This was done with the knowledge or permission of me or anyone involved.
For more information read my blog post about it...
Apefluff » Colorful Illustrations 93°C - Please DO NOT buy this book!
What can you do to help?
Please make as many people aware of this as possible by linking to the above post from any social networks, blogs, portal, or news submission sites you can get to. This will bring awareness to the situation and hopeful shame the resellers into removing it from there stock and sites.
And if anyone is feeling brave please ring Index Book on (+34) 93 454 55 47 and ask them POLITELY to stop selling it
Please they are Spanish, but have English speaking staff."
