Kabayan hindi mo kasalanan at maayos din yan….................................sa

Your a sweet guy! I hope he accepts your sincere apology.

dinny worry mate accidents happen we aw know yer a guid bloke!

I can imagine how you feel now… Sorry for this miserable situation, hope the mess will be get fixed soon enough… there may be a lesson to learn here, but I guess that when a friend offers you photos, you assume they are his to give – because you wouldn’t dream of giving anybody else’s work away, at least not without the right credits and permissions asked…

I would hope Michael would love the image you did and gladly accept the collaboration credit. Jotham your work is incredible and I hope you wouldn’t let this get you down!!

Well this apology has sent me to Michaels portfolio which is amazing and I’ve now included Miachael to my watchlist. I imagine that others (that otherwise wouldn’t have) will also visit Michaels amazing work. Sooo all in all some good may have come out of this.

Oh hon we all know you give credit where credit is due it was an honest mistake.

Sorry about this Hun, but not your fault. Hope you have a better day today:)))))))))

I worry about that to ! I think I’ll go look at Michaels site to! Your a Good Man NB!

I guess the lesson learned here is in this big widewebworld of images and stock images and borrowed and lent images…. it may be the wisest course to always rely on our own art and imagination..for that we know is true and we have no doubt of it’s origin.. i am sorry it was a painful lesson to learn…....b

I’m sure Michael will understand that you used this image in good faith. Agnes:))

This is not your fault, how could you have known..You are a great guy and artist and always recognized and support others…..hopefully Michael will collab with you which is a great thing…hugs my friend:)

This is so sad but nothing that cannot be corrected which this I beleive has done. Your integrity is worth so much more. I use stock pics as do many others. So this is unfortunate. You are a good man!

i touch the sky, the heart…..and honor you….let go of it freely and you will see…peaceful love for the time my friend…have a good think….:)
you are an amazing human, and a gifted artist….and my friend.

I CAN understand your feeling VERY much! I had something like this happen to me too, when I first was learning photo Shop.

Yor still an honest and great artist, for the future, I have a BIG lizard girl here at my house abd I will give you all the iggy picks you want, yoy just need to say the word!..
I also have a black dog, and I live very close to a place called the East Bay Vivariam. I can get pics of Snakes and other lizards any time for you.

It is a mistake any one could have made in the circumstances, we are inclined to take our friends in good faith, perhaps not next time though. hugsxxx

you allways give credit and I hope that he is understanding huggsss

I would hope that Michael can understand that you were not culpable or acted in any manner suggestive of ill-intent, and that by your broad and fair expression of regret for the situation, that he will fully accept your remarks as an honest and reasonable approach to resolve the matter. Furthermore, beyond your well deserved reputation here as a strongly supportive force within our community of artists, it is an obvious truth that you are also considered to be a very skilled artist and I’m sure that Michael, when all is said and done, can appreciate what a great work you have undertaken.

Jotham-

I wouldn’t lose any sleep over this. It’s not like my iguana image is some sort of masterpiece, and you’re working in a completely different genre than I am. I have absolutely no objection to your using the image, and I thought about letting the whole thing slide – we’re all trying to have fun here, correct? But I finally decided that if we “artists” don’t take minimal steps to protect our work, we would very soon have a chaotic situation on our hands.

So, let’s forget it – it’s no big deal. Mistakes happen.

Incidentally, I like you image.

Best regards,

Michael Sheridan

Things happen and sometimes its not planned you did the right thing by making the statement that you have done thats way more than some would do. Your a good person.

Chin up, buddy… It looks like he accepted your apology and all is well…

you have so many pieces in my favorites j, i hope you come back soon, revitalised and when you do….i cant wait to see what you will produce because you are an awesome talent…c

your work is inspired!

what a horrible mistake…not your fault though obviously….hope the apology is accepted – it sounds sincere…

Hay if it was my image I would have been honored you used it, the fact you didn’t know is understandable, I think you changed it enough to make it yours anyway!!

I like Michael’s comment. He is a really good sport. It is nice to have people on this site who are adult enough to admit mistakes and apoligize, and people like Michael who accept that with graciousness. That is why I enjoy RB.
