It has happened again. Twice this year my floral watercolors have been stolen and reproduced without authorization/license agreement (copyright infringement) by a major retailer and marketed as cushions or pillows. This current design here is on Target Stores/Australia's website. A Canadian artist spotted it and alerted me today to the blatant disregard for artist's intellectual property that we copyright. I have contacted Target, as I did with TJMaxx/Home Goods in April this year to cease marketing stolen images. Disgusting!

Kay, that is terrible; it happens all the time and it's so un-fair. I'm sorry this has happened to you again.

wow what do you do about that;lawsuit? You should be reimbursed.
Nothing happened with TJMaxx except an "We're sorry" from a customer service employee.
I still say that a letter from your Lawyer would go a bit farther. Especially with a corporation like this. I've had some images stolen, but they've been by small time crooks. These are the big guys!
