Another rip

This is a drawing on a canvas that I made a few years ago. It was sold on an auction 

for a good cause so I don't own the original anymore, but I still own the copyrights on 

this pic (so excuse me for the awful copyright-thing I put on it).

Even though this little Maaike-figure looks so angry, she's very loved. So loved that 

I've seen her as an illustration on several blogs, I had to write an angry letter to make 

a company stop using her as their Twitter-avatar,  and I even spotted her on a site that 

offered her as a mobile phone wallpaper-download.

In fact she's so loved that you can now get a t-shirt with her... or uhm... HIM:

This was for sale on the site of t-shirt print shop Spreadshirt. It was 'designed' by 

a certain M.de Waard from Rosmalen who works under the name 'shirtdesigns.

And this person didn't stop after one design....

They even turned my angry figure into... a happy one!

Left pic: copy  Middle: Perfect overlap!  Right: original 

(Yeah, I guess I'd also look more sadly confused than happy if I had a blue head.)

Thank god this M. de Waard is so talentless that all their designs are butt ugly and I 

can't imagine anyone spending money on these shirts. 

And I contacted Spreadshirts right away, they were very helpful and immediately 

removed all the designs from the sites! :-)

(P.S. I'm okay with people using my drawings for their personal blogs, as long as it's

not commercial and they give me credit.)
