On the confront of it Lisa Congdon's images looked real persuasive to me. As indeed they did to many others.

"In the basis of fine art & illustration, yous tin role the artwork of artists on your products every bit long every bit yous inquire permission, sign a licensing understanding alongside the artist, as well as concur to compensate them. I sell my images to companies all the time, companies who inquire my permission as well as compensate me for my intellectual property. In this case, I was never contacted, asked permission or paid. That is called copying. It’s also called stealing."
