the Jupiter Project

Many of you may have already read this story, about how my illustrations were published without my permission in this 350-page, $100 book being sold in dozens of online shops throughout China, Japan, and Spain (real “bricks-and-mortar” stores are carrying it there, oddly). The work was lifted from the Little Chimp Society website, along with the work of over 90 other illustrators. If you could share this news via your blog(s) and other social networks (like Facebook, Delicious, etc… using the “Bookmark” button below), it would help all of us affected and maybe even result in the removal of the book from these stores. Thanks!

Re-purposed for these crazy modern times. I hate the word “re-purpose” – why did I use it?
