In an effort to clean up and consolidate my web presence and after having 90% of my posts and images here copyright infringed sadly I have deleted 90% of my past posts.  So in the for the next few months I still hold a flash site at http://www.wix.com/sweetlorettaart/bodypainting where you can see my artworks. Even that will at some point be rolled into the newly improved site at www.sweet-loretta.com.

Thank you to all who have written me, asked to work with me and enjoyed my art and my blog http://bodypaintinghowto.blogspot.com

I will get back to writing there an a regular basis but too will be moving that to a place more secure than blogspot.

Body Art Images MIA

I am in the process still of redoing my blog here and gallery of images.  I have been able to view which sites have infringed on my copyright protected artworks, photographs and text from my blogs, web sites and web posting.  Stealing web content is not uncommon of course and having taken images of artworks for personal use I can say I am guilty.  But some folks steal content to use as their own, for profit and to boost their own sites.  I have found my copyright protected text and images of my artworks on a local face and body competitors site, here at Blogger - those crappy site showing various body paintings and body art, meant I guess to draw you into more lurid sites perhaps and on sites as hidden pages used to draw traffic to their sites. Hidden content is not uncommon, sad it is how my local competition is using my content. Text they could have easily written in thier own words and posted openly - lazy, thefts who want to draw clients away from me.

Well there are ways to solve these issues. For now I will be posting a new gallery. Unfortuately Google slash Blogger does very little to protect blog content of images and text.  Ball's in my court!

Art From My Heart - Body Art Painting by Sweet Loretta

Interesting to find all but this blog perfect

Well sad but all my images are gone. There were quite a few images of my body paintings but.....
Yes this was a full image site and popular.
I will pull them from Picasa and we'll see what happens.
Time to move on away from Google! I'll post a link to my new gallery.
