Appropriated artwork

While reading the whole thread, I had hoped it was a misunderstanding of some sort. Glad to see your request was is being honored Joe.  He should return the remaining product so you can do as you see fit with it.  Hope that the "artist" learns a thing or two as well.

Since he did reply and take action as soon as he had a chance to catch up on email (benefit of the doubt due to no evidence to the contrary), maybe there's a mutually beneficial ending here where Joe can propose a revenue share for those stickers.  Adam gets to keep his merch from going to waste, Joe gets compensated for his artwork, and Chloe gets to pay up and learn a lesson about not being shitty.

Maybe my glasses are too rose colored?

I watched a video where he said he cleared everything up with the DFG and explained his mistake. 

I watched parts of the local steelhead video Bushy. At the 12:30 mark, he seems to imply that the first part of the video was filmed on a Friday. And the rivers down here are only open Weds, Sat, Sunday. So perhaps more self-incriminating evidence of accidental poaching…
Edit: the other video promotes the new “merch that chloe designed” as shown in this screenshot.

Go to about 1:30, where he says (and you should see) he is on a scouting mission and didn't bring any fishing gear.



Really, it's easy to poke holes in anyone's stories, inflate a small mistake into a big one, claim that they have no integrity.

Not that some of them don't deserve it.  But not all of them do.

Winterthreadology.

Not that the issue isn't totally valid.  I'm glad it's moving toward resolution.

Sure is convenient to just delete your posts when you think you made a mistake, isn't it.

Or delete your account...  Goodbye Spiffy, it was nice hanging while you were here.

Update:

I emailed him a second time and he apologized and was out of town, not checking email. He took it down off his website.  His graphic designer must have pulled an image search for Cabezon but didn't change hardly anything. I also contacted her via instagram.

Nice!
Good to know that there are still folks that can own a mistake and resolve them.  Respect him more than before Cabby-gate began.

I guess you're talking about me.  I didn't delete it because I think I made a mistake, I changed my mind and was just giving it a break but if you say so.

He wasn't talking about you. 

I don’t care what everyone says, it’s still winter😂😂❄️

I don't understand why people keep referring to this person as a artist. I don't know any artists who trace over other people's art work. That's not an artist , that's a ______. Fill in the blank
