Normally my public posts are for my doll stories or customs, but this, this is a matter I want all you peeps out there to post EVERYWHERE as you can see relevant.
Mijn Schatje is a digital image 'artist' making THOUSANDS off the images, ipod/laptop skins, clothing lines and other related media from traced images of BJDs she stole from doll company sites and doll Owners.
Whatever your opinion is on tracing/copying/etc, I believe not crediting the fact that she does use BJD images as a base for her work, or even mentioning BJDs at all when she is being given thousands of dollars to be shown in magazines, galleries and art sites, not to mention merchandise, clothing line deals and other stuff is completely wrong.
Credit goes to the infamous Den of Demons, who organised all the evidence and organised themselves well enough to expose this theif.
All the evidence can be viewed here:

Also, I will not screen comments, but I expect no flame wars. If you disagree then go to your own flippin' LJ and believe whatever lies you have been fed. Flaming here will not make a difference.
Though I am open to mature discussion about it. But being hypocritical, I would enjoy comments agreeing with the site (Including "WIN!" "I KNEW SHE WAS A THIEF" et all)...
Anyways, please post as far and wide as you can. Thievery in the art world is not and will not be tolerated.
