I took the liberty of posting your link on the yahoo groups for KSU vets website. Maybe they’ll get some xmas presents. Help you too. Love you.
Be well. Carole
The idea that your work was copied after or even inspired by his is unbelievable! I see not even a vague resemblance between the two styles and it is obvious to me that anyone who made these accusations not only knows nothing about art but may be completely blind. You and he are both very talented artists who like to paint people, flowers and children, etc. Thats where the similarity ends, and if that denotes artistic theft, than there are countless numbers of Art thefts going on every day and we might as well all stop producing art because its already been done before! Hang in there Nora, the truth will win out and you you will be there when it does. And by the way, GOOD FOR YOU! for standing up for yourself!

Both artists’ styles and techniques appear to me to be very different.
When you paint people based on reality, there are only so many poses and variations of hair color, etc. that there is always a possibility that some pieces will have some similarity. In the pieces on Mr.Silverberg’s web site, I did not see more than a faint passing resemblance to your work.
Love your artwork!
I do not know David personally, but he should be honored to be in the same liege as you. Never mind everyone else, talk to him.

Nora, your work is clearly original and nothing like Silverberg’s from what I could see. It’s a shame when this happens. One of my studio neighbors had an accusation from someone who worked with her about stealing work….the woman accused her of copying her technique, yet the other woman in question seemed to actually be copying my friend’s and then making a fuss. My friend has been doing abstract work for years, and this woman, much younger and fewer years under her belt, was accusing her of copying. Another gal I know did an earring design with three hoops in it…something that is hardly copywritable as it’s so simple/basic, yet another local jeweler got her thrown out of the local 1000markets (or whatever it’s called!) over this.
Sometimes, it’s a parallel evolution of design techniques, sometimes it’s an uneducated eye thinking they see something they don’t and sometimes is maliciousness or even someone else who is copying trying shift the guilt to the one being copied instead of the copier.
I hope you get this straightened out! you’ve had enough to deal with lately!
D.J.’s Imagifriends
My name is Daniel John Svoboda. I am 25 years old. I was diagnosed with Autism
Spectrum Disorder with Psychomotor Retardation at the age of three. I went through some very difficult times growing up with Autism. I was often picked on and made fun of. It was from these very difficult situations that The Imagifriends were born. The Imagifriends live in a place called Imagiville. In this imaginary place no one is ever picked on or mistreated in any way. Everyone is loved and accepted for who and what they are. Everyone in Imagivile helps and cares for one another.
Each Imagifriend that I draw is different. They come in many sizes, colors, and designs. None of them are ever mean or cruel. They each have their own special job and purpose in Imagiville. Every Imagifriend knows that as long as they have a kind heart it doesn’t matter what they look like. Some of them are physically or mentally handicapped but that’s O.K. I have just had my first book published too. It’s about acceptance and respect for those with Autism.
I want to use The Imagifriends to help others with Autism know that they are special just the way they are. I have created The Imagifriends coloring book and I do Imaginames. That is where I create an Imagifriend out of the letters of your name and connect them. I have also written my first book called My Imagiville. I donate a portion of what I earn to The Autism Help Network and to my wonderful church, Hope Community Church. Being Autistic has presented me with many challenges in my life. From these challenges I have learned to never give up. I want to thank the Lord for giving me the talent to draw and I want to use this talent to help others. Remember, “Everyone is Special Just the Way They Are!!!”
I have a new website, http://www.MyImagiville.com. On the website you can read more about my mission for acceptance for those with Autism. You can also see more Imagifriends and order special Imaginames too. The book and coloring book and Imagistuff can be purchased as well. I hope everyone has a great blessed day everyday!!!

As you may or may not know, my company account was banned along with my personal account on DeviantArt, due to a journal entry where I expressed my honest emotions toward forum trolls and art thieves, and other problem people on sites like DA that do nothing but try to cause problems for others. This was a result of problems that were ignored by the help desk, which then chose to ban my accounts in the tradition of all lawyer types. This is sad, as I have met many wonderful artists on DA, and enjoyed seeing the results of your creative drive. I enjoyed viewing your art on DA, but sadly, I will no longer be able to fav or comment on them. Keep up the wonderful work, and may you enjoy much success in your creative endeavors.

I enjoy browsing your site, I usually learn something new facts.
