Within my plagiarism report I have looked at a famous illustrator; Jenny Parks, who's illustrations where stolen and put on to phone cases, and sold on Amazon, this shows just how easy it is to get away with plagiarism until you get caught, selling your stolen items on a world wide internet shop. How daring!
With the internet today it is so much easier to get away with stealing artwork, but its also so much easier to get caught- before the internet art thieves relied on getting away with the theft by people keeping their mouths shut and the lack of news coverage, but today everything is accessible from anywhere in the world, with the help of the internet on mobile phones and tablets.
In my report I will be looking into Jenny's stolen work and what people had to say about it.

It appears that even though Vazza case is a less than honest organisation, Amazon still support the company after their phone cases having already been caught once. So who is too blame here? Amazon or the phone case company, as amazon represents this business?

Plagiarism Report
We were given a brief on how to do a report, and had to choose a subject, I chose to write about plagiarism, though it was supposed to be within the subject of Illustration I went further and looked at tattoos, because what can be more hurtful than having a piece of art on your skin, that is only meant for you skin, stolen and placed on someone else's?
It isn't like having a print copied, as their are many prints of it. Its a very personal issue that I am involved with, as an apprentice to a tattoo studio- my work is custom and for one customer only.
In my report I speak to a tattooist- a dear friend from London and a self admitted plagiariser, on their views on art theft. I also look into massive companies stealing art work, and the laws and loop holes around plagiarism. I also handed out a questionnaire and speak to those involved in the illustration and tattoo industry, to see how many people know how to avoid plagiarism and what their rights are.
