Japanese Match Box Labels

I think this is just about the most beautiful collection of label designs, all featured on Japanese match boxes from the 1920s -1940s. I love the colour palettes and how unique each and every one is. Also, the textures are just incredible. You can view the entire collection here: Jane McDevitt on Flickr.

I woke up to some pretty terrible news today. I found out someone named Jeanette Hayes (NYC “artist”; not be confused with London Jeanette Hayes) stole my artwork by unlawfully using it without my permission, never bothering to contact or credit me, modifying it, treating it as her sole work, and selling it for a huge sum of money.

And the worst part is, I’m not the only victim.

She’s stolen from several dozen other artists, sometimes not even attributing but fully replicating, and the galleries won’t do a thing about it except continue to back her up. When she’s confronted on the matter, she simply blocks people or deletes the comments; same with any media-outlet hosting or promoting her. In the end money talks. I don’t believe this to be artistic expression in good faith. Based on her notoriety and her responses, she’s clearly belittling the art and the artists whose works she steals from.

And really, whatever pretentious excuse is made on behalf of this “contemporary art”, it’s really just vandalism to me; absent of my feelings on the matter, absent of my love for the subject matter, absent of respect for me; because my artwork isn’t just some official stock art to be used freely.

I don’t want more people to have to feel this way, and the galleries need to know that this isn’t okay, and that this sort of behaviour shouldn’t be endorsed.

Here’s the link to the gallery: https://www.artsy.net/artwork/jeanette-hayes-there-will-be-blood Here’s the email of the gallery: [email protected] Here’s a Buzzfeed article on some of the other works she’s stolen: https://www.buzzfeed.com/krishrach/an-artist-has-been-accused-of-plagiarizing-japanese-artists?utm_term=.ra8k96k63#.qdBDvoDoQ

Please help spread the word; or if you can also, please email the galleries explaining to them that things like this should not be condone. It’s sad to say, that the galleries aren’t likely to do anything unless notably pressured, and the reality is…Hayes is not at all remorseful and still continues this line of insincerity.

Kuroki Mitsuko 黒木美都子 (1991 - ).

The evanescent illustrations and the delicate and luxurious nature painted by the young woman gives an enchanting touch.

Fairy Florence (1985) — 妖精フローレンス A gentle, talented boy named Michael played beautiful music on his oboe, and his greatest love was to play for and tend to the flowers in the greenhouse at the music institute he attended. Unfortunately, his gardening made him constantly late for orchestra practice and resulted in his dismissal from the school. When Michael fell asleep that same night in the greenhouse, he was awakened by a delicate flower fairy named Florence, who would take him on an enchanted journey to a land where flowers came alive, treble notes were mischievous, and adventure beckoned. There, he would soon come to realise that his love of flowers and desire to become a great musician could go hand-in-hand, helping him to become focused in life and to discover himself.
