Welcome to the newest addition to my web site, my CREDITS REALM. I decided to create this page after a recent return to an amazing web site I last visited mid-way through 1999, Silverhawks Native American Indian Graphics. Upon my recent return visit to Silverhawks web site I was awakened to the rampant theft taking place right in front of our eyes. The theft im talking about is the theft of art works from talented artists stolen from web sites and other forums such as Silverhawks web site. This art can also consist of not just visual art but also audio, literate and other forms. Im as much to blame in the past as the next internet user that has helped themselves to someone elses creations without the express permission of their creator, without the fore thought to credit the said artist with the credit they so rightly deserve. Im now well aware of this phenomenon and have taken steps to rectify my mistake by crediting the artist for any content on my sites that I did not create myself. I know im not alone in this over-sight but the more people that are aware of it the less likely-hood that others will make the same mistakes. As an artist myself, albeit as a hobbyist, Im well aware of the amount of effort that goes into creating art of any kind. With this in mind and seeing the damage being caused by peoples lack of insight or just poor attitudes to taking what doesnt belong to them I set about writing this page. I have art on this site which I thought was good enough for my site without thinking to find out who created it. To any of these people I un-reservedly apologise and will endeavour to correct or replace the art, where I`m unable to locate the original artist.

Items on my page that I have no idea who created that are still in place are: Purple flames on the tributes pages. Laser Dragon on entrance page,(removed 23.5.2000) which I replaced with an Indian Mandella shield drawing that I drew as a tatoo design back in '97 . Backgrounds - (unknown creator ones removed (removed 23.5.2000), with the exception of the cupfluffy one on Porsha`s realm which I really need to know who created as that page was posted on the web the day she passed away and I would prefer to leave it un-altered. So being able to credit that rightful owner would be a good thing if anyone knows who that person is could you please email me :o)) . The Angel pic on my Angel memory realm page. Midi`s on tribute pages. Tulip picture on Charmaines realm. The books on my guest book links and lastly the back / next buttons on most pages (removed 23.5.2000). If anyone knows who created these pieces of art originally please let me know via EMAIL...I will be removing these items as soon as possible if I can not locate and credit the rightful artists for works im using on my pages. Please check the link to Silverhawks page and appreciate more of what im talking about here and to marvel at the talent this man has. So I hope this at least stops and makes at least one person out there think before stealing or mutilating anothers hard work and efforts, Please show credit where credit is due, if you did not create it dont leave the assumption that you did standing on your web site, or anywhere else that you decide to use anothers art, ciao Louis (aka Aladdin, ^TheCrow^)
