#yanagoya

Basically a play-by-play of how it happened. 

Permission from the artist, the incredible yanagoya to reveal the piece I had as my background. 

For the original post with all the pictures of Misha and the dialogue we exchanged, go here!

this needs to get back on my dash :3

HEY GUYS JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THIS POST IS A REPOST!!!!!!!....

It's actually not. (EDIT - It's a Reblog from her other Blog)

That is Fedoralady (Angie), a long-time blogger and fan of Richard's.  I have spoken with Angie and she indicates that she will update her blog.

This was a random crop she found somewhere, with no credit attached, but she recognized the artist from her previous Blog here back in June! 

Also, Aaorin is the artists Nom de Plume (de Art?) on Deviantart, and Angie clearly credits above, there is just no link. Her intention was never to rob the artist of credit in any way.

So again this [x] and this [x] are the same artist.

It is good that you did this to remind people that it is important to credit artists. But I think it is also good to consult the Poster source first before posting something like this without some background information or some information from their side.

Edit's are a tricky business.  No one hesitates to repost edits of photographs and call them their own, when technically they also belong to someone else.  For PR promos, it is expected.

But really, many reblog these photo edits every day, without hesitation - and many at such lightning speed that it is impossible to catch and correct.

Oh my fuck what is happening here

Look what Yanagoya made for me! <3 Todd the Wraith from "Stargate Atlantis" (posted on here with her permission)

Commissioned this beauty from her and I can't say enough good things, so go check her out and get yourself some fabulous work from her!
