Regarding Mijn Schate and blatant art-thievery
Apologies to those who have probably seen this a million times on their friendslists today:

Ever admired the work of artist Mijn Schate? Well, don't. She is nothing more than a liar and a thief, and is making a pretty tidy little chunk of change while being lazy and dishonest. (As in - $1000 per print sold, a deal with a company that makes iPod skins/cases with her art, and a clothing deal).
Doll companies and various owners have already been contacted to alert them to the fact that she's been stealing their photos - already three companies have said that she hasn't asked permission to use their photos.
Of course, she is denying this left, right, and center. And for those inclined to agree with her, please take a look at the comparisons here: http://eggtea.com/brycesucks/tomato/images/examples.html and draw your own conclusions.
I find it amazing that there are so many truly talented artists out there, undiscovered, and a lying thief whose true talent lies in Photoshop can make thousands upon thousands of dollars by stealing pictures and doing next to nothing at all.
