Shocking News~~~~~~

HI EVERYBODY, HAVEN'T WRITE SOMETHING IN HERE BECAUSE I WAS SO UPSET AND CANNOT EXPRESS MY FEELING NOW!!

 

I received email from my overseas collector this week. I remembered that I met her in United Kingdom.  She sent me a shocking news.   She attached a photo with her email together and questioned about me about my bear price.  When I looked at the photo, I am sure that this is NOT my bear but almost 98% totally same as my design.  WHAT'S HAPPEN???  My collectors told me that the price of the bear is cheaper than my design alot during my exhibition this February.  She contacted the "Artist" before about the originality but she never reply.   My collector sure that my designs are counterfeiting now and someone claimed that this is his/her own design and sell it cheap. Within her email, my collector informed me the name of "Bear Maker". I felt so shame of it.  I cannot believe that this Bear maker will do it for me.  I enjoys the bear world very much.

Discussed with experience foreign artists and my UK collectors for the past 2 days, they asked me to stand it up and speak it loudly.    If I keep on silence, nobody know that this is my design and the Bear Maker is an counterfeiter.   They also mentioned that I am not alone, they will fully supporting me.

 

I respect every artists even though she/he is an experience or new comers.   How's come!!!  Stop it!  Respect yourself and the Creator!!  This is my last resort.  I will not tolerance anymore.  

I want the justice.   

If you are the bear artist, please kindly avoid this disaster to happen again.  

Fast money can make anyone blind.....
