DISNEY HAVE STOLEN MY ARTWORK

I don’t know what to do. I am so upset. Can anyone help me?

My painting was created back in 2010, (see it HERE) and since then so many people have expressed their love for it, not just on tumblr, but in many places. At least 9 people had it tattooed on their bodies. It’s one of my favourite images I created at University and I was proud of it in many ways.

Disney have used it on a cosmetics bag HERE (look at the back)
and they have produced a Tshirt HERE with a really similar design clearly modeled from my painting

I’m so mad because I have no chance at getting Disney to do anything about it. I had so much respect for the company and now I am just SO upset and disappointed.

Any help, advice or signal boosting would be amazing. And thank you so much to the kind person who messaged me about this.

An update on Merida using the palette of Rosalba Carriera’s portrait of Felicita Sartori which I shall post a link to when this is done :3

This is a really silly awesome fun exercise. Take a Disney Princess Coloring page and then colour it with the color palette of an old master :P

Most people do this digitally to colour select the palette but I want to get used to oils more and get better at mixing the right colours myself. So thought this would be a fun exercise. 
I choose Merida, and in her princess get-up as it screams the ”old master” look, I was in fact going to do just the head to really get into the skin tones and the expression. But I need practice with clothing too so stuck with the whole line work. 

The painting I’m using for the pallette is Rosalba Carriera’s portrait of Felicita Sartori from the 1730’s. I picked this because even though the over all colours are blue it still has that vibrant red which would be perfect for Merida’s stray curl. 

Still in progress obviously, I’m just getting the first thin layers in. 

Also attached is my finish skull study. Yay cardboard!

Chris Sanders inspired Ukulele update :3

Chris Sanders Mermaid Uke. 

Since my old Uke is pretty beaten up and just doesn’t sound right any more, I decided to at least give it a face lift so I can have it hanging pretty on my wall. I couldn’t think of anything other than some Chris Sanders mermaid tribute art. The original art can be seen here: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OXFEGHFNsqA/TwyvgQ35unI/AAAAAAAAAsY/mYq3RRoYfPc/s1600/chrissanders1.jpg

I might even end up replacing the pegs too at this rate…obviously at the moment it’s not finished but we’ll see how it goes.
