Other Designers and Gallery owners can bug off. I'm 26 and I have PhDs in what I do, and I say anybody who says that their "college background" gives them the right to steal my work (or anybody else's for that matter) should be shot. My talent is mine; I sell the results and at a premium. I've fought copyright battles successfully in Canada (the NTS tried to steal a set of designs I did while working on my master's), and the whole Theft-a-roo things is why I don't maintain a website of my designs. I have enough work here in Ecuador that I don't need to advertize (I'm one of 3 scenographers on the continent.) I come from a family of artists; my aunt is well regarded in stained glass, my grandmother in oils, and my mother in needlepoint and yarns. I'm a bit more of a generalist, but I have a touch for textiles and a completely different kind of feel for wood.
