Hi there, I came across your artwork whilst research some possible copyright violations. It appears someone by the name of Christopher Stokes has taken your image, removed the coverings from the lady's body, and replaced them with bikini top and bottom. [link] Fortunately, I was able to work out that it was stolen from your work thanks to TinEye. I have already filed a report on the image, but you may want to consider doing so yourself and filing a DMCA takedown notice against this guy. Seems that he has been quite prolific in his art thefts, over several websites - myself and a few other Deviants are busy tracking down his ill-gotten gains...
thx so much actually the original image had the bikini which was submitted to facebook...most of chris's images on the apps i had given permission for and he had in the description that the artwork belongs to derek emmons (me)...etc thx alot for taking the time to inform me of this as i have many times in the past ran into issues of artwork being used and permission not being asked...this is one of the rare times where he had followed the proper protocol with me at least.
