Warning: There have been a number of identified cases of copyright violations against my work, fraudulent copies of my art being reproduced and sold on ebay.
These offenders are dealt with accordingly- I have been successful in having artwork which breaches my copyright successfully removed via ebay's VERO programme.
Buyers:
Please be sure your work is an original Sej. All of my artwork is sold directly from my ebay store, and ALWAYS has the sej signature within the listing. Copycat and reproduction art is sold in a different store, without my signature present in the listing, and is significantly cheaper in price- namely because this is poor qulaity and imitation art.
Please only buy my original art because it has investment value, and these other sellers are not authorised to copy or redistribute my art, and buying from them means you are supporting the black market, and buying something of poor quality and of no real value.
If you are in doubt about the authenticity of an artwork, please contact me via my personal email: sej@night-thought.com and I will verify whether it is indeed my art.
COPYCAT ARTISTS AND VIOLATORS OF COPYRIGHT:
I have so far been successful in removing paintings from four sellers on ebay (nationally AND internationally), who have violated my copyrights. If you are considering stealing my images, reproducing, or re-selling then think twice. You will be caught out, and you will pay the consequences.
I WILL ALWAYS SEEK LEGAL ACTION OVER ANY BREACH OF COPYRIGHT

Tuesday, May 6th 2008...
just caught another 11 rip-offs today, that's right ELEVEN!
EVERY one of them has been reported to ebay and will be removed. I will then be taking legal action and seeking damages. Keep them coming...
I actually went through 90 individual pages today to find those eleven rip-offs of my art. I quite enjoy the challenge and at the end of the day, it will be more money in my pocket when I get my compensation. It's weird too.. I mean my art is being reproduced by these scammers alongside the great painters like Van gogh, gaugin, Matisse even Rothko... I guess it shows I'm doing something right!
