Hello Everyone!!
I've been a bit quiet given the turmoil of Trump and the direct impact it had on my finances, and also been busy working hard creating my own content (unlike Hongsamut.com - สำนักพิมพ์ ) and creating content for writers and authors who respect artists and pay a fair price for illustrations (not like Hongsamut.com - สำนักพิมพ์ ) . I am uploading the whole explanation of the issue soon, but meanwhile I am updating here by uploading the original post with the original images again, plus some added content since for some "mysterious" reason the images on the original post are no longer available. I've also noticed that many of the readers and people who has been messaging me are suddenly vanished, on which I assume is a bullying tactic by the publisher to silence the case (some screenshots in here for your viewing pleasure).
Have a fantastic day everyone!
ESPAÑOL: Págenme putos :) :*

Hi guys!
I am mildly annoyed at the moment: this well-known publisher in Thailand, Hongsamut.com - สำนักพิมพ์ stole one of my illustrations for one of their books. They used it for an inside cover of the novel named 'ต้องรอด SURVIVED: PANTHERS' (First Edition: December 2013). I've been told Hongsamut publisher said they legally bought every license of pictures that have been used in their books, which is obviously not true at all.
I messaged them to clarify the issue and offer them to buy the proper license of use (already purchased under a non-exclusive license by Blue Angel Publishing ) and they just blocked me. I've also been told I am not the first artist who receives this mistreatment.
Here is the link to the original image upload in the net, which clearly states the image is licensed under a

Could you help me spreading the word?
