Remember yesterday’s post about Highball Halloween stealing my image? Well, turns out they they don’t think the internet is the same as print advertising. Here’s them using my stolen image on the Short North Arts District’s website — artists stealing from artists!? Thanks so much for all of the support, reblogs, and retweets so far. I’m not staying silent on this one.

Columbus, Ohio HighBall Halloween Steals Work from Artists

Columbus folks, please reblog this. 
So let me get this straight…. 250 VIP tickets at $65/ticket comes out to $16,250… yet The Official Short North HighBall Halloween still decided to STEAL my image to use in their large print advertising (a sign on High Street) and weren’t even willing to pay me for it? PLUS they charge everyone else $5 to WALK ON HIGH STREET (and I’m sure that they’re charging vendors a booth fee). Not only was the PERSONAL image taken from me without my permission, they admitted on the phone to me today that they KNOWINGLY cropped out my watermark. I was told that it wasn’t “in the spirit of Highball” for me to get paid. So what is the spirit of Highball? Artists stealing from artists? Plus they neglected to give Bob Kueppers and company credit for their amazing costumes that night. They claim that the sign is being taken down, but I still call for a BOYCOTT.
