Frequent visitors know (and may already be tired of) how I’ve always raved about Japanese design, but I’ve been wanting to tell you about Yusuke Nakamura<\/a> for quite sometime now. I “discovered” him via his eyecatching work on albums and dvds for the Asian Kung Fu Generation<\/a>. Here’s one of my favorite pieces:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I am hoping against hope that my sharing the art and links will not in any way cause his images to be Emma Mori<\/a>‘d*. <\/p>\n

*read all about The Bayo Incident<\/i> at Carlo’s journal<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\nWhile we’re on the subject of RIP-OFFs (and I’m assuming that you’ve read the Bayo link above), take a look at these two sites and tell me which is the original and which is the copycat:<\/p>\n

Link ONE<\/a>
\nLink TWO<\/a><\/p>\n

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Nakakahiya, diba?<\/i><\/p>\n

Why oh why do some people have to resort to copying when there are dozens of talented graphic designers locally whom they can hire<\/a> who are perfectly capable of providing original<\/i>, un-sue-able work???<\/p>\n

*Thanks to my friend Karla, herself an artist and purveyor of all things original, for the heads up.<\/span><\/p>\n

***
\nKnow of any other sites that were copied? You can sound off at Pirated Sites Dot Com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

***
\nAnd because more and more artworks are being swiped, copied, and passed off as someone else’s, our graphic design org<\/a> decided to organize a seminar on Copyright and IP Laws for Creatives<\/b> last week. It’s also nice to know that global network Creative Commons<\/a> is working with the e-Law Center of the Arellano University School of Law on porting the license to the Philippines. Here’s hoping that more and more self-employed artists will be armed with the knowledge to protect themselves from copyright and intellectual property theft.<\/p>\n

***
\nBy the way…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Err… yes, hehe (nervous laughter). Arn did the illustrations, I did the layouts. But hello, we can proudly say that it was 100% built from scratch.<\/span><\/p>\n
