As mentioned here before - see Wandering Artwork - my artwork continues to show up in strange places. The latest example that I'm aware of is the old Crocodiles & Beer cartoon, this time accompanying Cultural advice about Belgium, as usual without permission, though at least it's a non profit use. Please let me know if you see other examples out there...

When you create pictures they can turn up in odd places, completely without your permission and often without your knowledge. I remember one year drawing a Santa for a Christmas card at a place I was working then, a year or two later, I found him still doing the rounds for some department or other, albeit having gone through a few generations of photocopying.

Here are some current examples of artwork being used without my knowledge.

My Angels & Devils Illustration Friday picture - being used as a graphic on a Timorese blog Angels and Devils Timoreses.

It's a popular one, having also appeared in February this year over at Noahopinion, under "Angels vs. Devils".

My old Crocodiles and Beer cartoon that I drew for Inkspot back in 2005, a year later apparently unofficially appearing over at Miss Cellania's blog.

These are good reasons why I don't tend to put full stories and all my artwork up online - it's bad enough having single images appropriated without being asked (I am quite approachable and only bite occasionally). Also, a good reason to sign your pictures, so they at least remain credited!
