mortiism:

I usually try not to involve myself with nutters, but I believe this had to be said.
Unfortunately, I already know, that her and her followers who believe her story will no doubt try to vomit out further torrents of abuse and lies.
If you are looking for any crow skull replicas, I certainly would not recommend buying from her. If you are an artist or a lover of crafts, you will think deeper than her very black & white story that I was ‘replicating her skulls and passing them off as my own’.

The harassment over something as straight forward as this is horrendous. Just what is going on.

mortiism:

Well. It is a shame it has come to this, that’s for sure…

Basically, you may already know that I have been making and selling replica crow skulls that I have made MYSELF for a while now. I cast each one and I hand paint them, leave them to dry for 24 hours and then string them up on whatever someone wants.

I did use to buy some crow skulls from a seller on Etsy callen Ann S Koi (or https://www.facebook.com/pages/Catalyst-Studios/55797451383?fref=ts), but her crow skulls weren’t up to the standard I liked, they seemed fragile and the colouring was always a bit ‘off’ for me, sometimes they had a very purple tinge which I didn’t like, and my paint just couldn’t hide the underlying colour. I bought quite a few of these, but I was just never happy with the result when I’d finished making what I wanted. So I gave up on using them.

So I took one of them (which was a replica of a real crow’s head) that wasn’t too mis-shapen and I sculpted a little clay around it, making it much sturdier, especially around the eye sockets, and began creating moulds and using the moulds I made to make mine, which is quite a lengthy process. However, I have mastered it now and now I sell them.

Anyway… I recieved a couple of emails from the seller Ann S Koi through the Etsy conversations about how I was apparently selling her work as my own, which is absolutely not the case. Every skull I make has been made by me from start to finish. I ignored the emails as they got me pretty irritated, and I didn’t want to reply with an angry tone.

But now I have been messaged now outside-of-Etsy from her and her friends, they are pretty damn harrassing especially since what she is going on about isn’t true.

Not only that, she has now sent emails about the kitten skulls I make. I have not told her, but I bought another kitten skull from eBay, which was much cheaper than her kitten skull that she sells on here. But I believe she is adamant that the kitten skull is hers, and it is not.
All this said, and my side being told, you CANNOT copyright or trademark animal skulls. These skulls come from nature.

What has annoyed me mostly about this, is how with her inability to comprehend that animal skulls are something you cannot ‘own’, she has tried to kill my business with her slanderous and unfactual story.
The only money I make is from this business that I run myself, I do not earn any other money from anywhere, not from any other jobs or from the government, even though I could, I choose not to. I choose to only EARN what I get.

Well, that’s my two cents on the matter. Now onto more important and less ridiculous stuff…

MISSING! PLEASE HELP!

This is Jack. He went missing from his home in Southwick, Sunderland on Wednesday 16th May 2012. Jack was last spotted in Houghton le Spring on Thursday 24th May but we still haven’t managed to find him to bring him home. If you think you have spotted him then please get in touch. Being away so long, he urgently needs veterinary care as he’s now missed many of his medications.

If you spot Jack please get in touch with the RSPCA as they will ensure his safe return and also please get in touch with my brother, Wayne.

Please reblog. Thanks.

THE SINCLAIR SPECTRUM: HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY!

For a computing generation, the sounds of “Beeee beep. Beee diddly-diddly-diddly” will never be forgotten.

As the pioneering ZX Spectrum computer reaches its 30th birthday, we salute the machine’s contribution to videogame history…

“…in your impatience, you will probably already have started pressing the keys on the keyboard, and discovered that this removes the copyright message. This is good; you cannot harm the computer in this way. Be bold. Experiment…”

So read page seven of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum introduction booklet, which aimed to gently introduce the reader into the strange new world of computing. It’s easy to forget that, back in 1982, when the ZX Spectrum first launched in the UK, computers were far from the ubiquitous creatures they are today. Thirty years ago, computers were expensive, chunky, and for some people, rather mysterious.

Love stumbling across pics of happy customers on this here Tumblr. It may not be the most complex design, but the Cult of Skaro tee is a personal fave and this pic makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Glad you love it!

Thank You (Whoever You May Be)

Hello dears,

I didn’t get to post much over Christmas and into the New Year due to a general lack of technology, so I just wanted to post this message to all who have purchased any of my designs.

THANK YOU!

Whoever you are and wherever you may be, I’m sure you’re looking mighty RAD in your t-shirts. Seriously, I cannot thank you enough because I realise that my own geekery gets the better of me a lot of the time and so it’s always wonderful to get a sale – not necessarily for the pennies, but because it means other people share my geeklove!

Anyway, I hope 2012 is being awesome to you all, and I encourage you to send over some lovely pics of you wearing your Riott t-shirts, whether it be via email (), Twitter, or directly uploaded to the Riott Designs Facebook page.

Many thanks once again and take care,
LC x

All the stores offer Digital DTG (Direct-To-Garment) printing, so the design goes straight onto the shirt.

Spreadshirt also offer Digital transfer for some designs, meaning they print to foil and then bond it to the shirt. The majority of Riott Designs on Spreadshirt are DTG and only a few are Digital Transfer. The printing method is listed on each individual product page.
