Please STOP Stealing My Designs!

As I am seeing an increasing number of copies of my robots popping up on Etsy and Artfire I must reiterate that Sleepy Robots are copyrighted and reproducing them in anyway for sale is copyright infringement. When I say copying I don't mean just the shape and style. I have found several shops on Etsy blatantly reproducing them and claiming them to be their original designs. I don't mind if you are making copies of my bots to keep for yourself as I have seen on a few other sites, but if you are planning on selling them keep them off Etsy, Artfire... in fact keep them off line! If I don't see them myself someone else will point me in your direction. I get at least 2 or more emails a week from loyal customers with links to shops selling rips of my bots. I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but this is becoming increasingly frustrating. I spend a lot of time coming up with my designs, reading suggestions and creating customs just to have them stolen and claimed by someone else. Outside of the creative aspect this is my livelihood. I do not have another job. I devote all my time to Sleepy Robot 13. I love making them, but they are also how I pay my rent and bills.

I understand that there are a lot of people "borrowing" each others photos on Etsy (Which is bad), but blatantly stealing someone else's work is just wrong.

Sleepy Robots13 Gift Certificates

I recently received a few messages asking if I was going to be offering gift certificates for sale in my shop this holiday season. I'm wondering if there are more than just a handful of people wanting gift certificates. I have created a poll to find out just that!

Custom Items Update

Hi guys! I just wanted to give everyone a quick update regarding custom orders. Due to the high volume of orders I've been receiving and the upcoming holiday season, I will not be taking any new custom item requests until mid January 2012. This includes wedding orders of all kinds. If you sent me a request before 08/04/2011 and confirmed that you were ok with the time frame/price you have been added to the waiting list and will be receiving your custom item(s) by September 15, 2011. I apologize to everyone who has sent me requests over the last week and to anyone who was planning to order custom items for Christmas gifts. Unfortunately I am only one person and there are only so many hours in a day:(
