Fighting copyright infringement

A while ago, I hired an attorney in Poland to deal with people who stole my designs. Some of them paid me compensation before I had to sue, so that was fine. But some refused. Unfortunately, then the pandemic happened and also my attorney got seriously sick and couldn’t work on my cases anymore, so that slowed things down.

I bet some thieves thought I forgot about them ๐Ÿ˜‰ No such luck.

Anyway, I hired a new attorney. He prepared and filed the lawsuits. And there will be more cases to follow.

(This is just a quick update to let you guys know that this is all still in progress in case you were wondering.)

Gran Canaria

I moved to another of the Canary Islands โ€” Gran Canaria.

I live in a tiny town that doesn’t even have a gym. Next time I will need to move to a bigger city. I’ve been lazy for too long and it’s definitely time to go back to exercising regularly.

Gran Canaria is as beautiful as Tenerife, only maybe less popular, so there aren’t as many tourists here.

The most baffling thing about Canary Islands is that you can’t get grapefruit juice here โ€” and it’s my favorite! I visited many supermarkets and fresh squeezed juice bars and not once was I able to buy it.

Tenerife

I’ve left Poland just as I had planned.

Those last few weeks before me leaving were crazy. I had to move all my things from the apartment that I was renting and somehow I had accumulated a lot of stuff. I tried to meet and say goodbye to most of my friends. I had trainings and dentist appointments too and some legal stuff to take care of. Overall, I was rarely home and didn’t get any work done. I didn’t have any time to plan my travels, so I only booked a plane ticket a day before leaving. And I booked the place to stay in Tenerife a few hours before going to the airport.

I packed only a small suitcase of clothes and a backpack with a laptop, sketchbooks, and my graphic tablets. I’ve been here, in Tenerife, for over two weeks now and I don’t miss any of my things I had in my apartment in Poland. Makes me wonder why did I even have that much stuff.

Tenerife is beautiful and even in February it’s very warm here. Every day, I go for a walk along the coast. I will stay here for a few weeks and then move on.

Threadless Valentine’s Day Feature

My drawing of a very antisocial cat in serious need of chocolate, titled “Go away. Unless you have chocolate”, got featured on the Threadless blog!

See other featured designs and read the article “Which Valentine’s Day Persona Best Fits You?”

Go away. Unless you have chocolate.

Winter Wildlife

Threadless has a new challenge.

It’s called “Winter Wildlife” and it’s right up my alley because I like winter and wild animals. Even my main store, “Fox Shiver”, was supposed to be about foxes and wolves in winter. But then I somehow switched to drawing cats. Maybe it’s time to add something new with winter and wild creatures?

I will try to find time to take part in the challenge. It ends in just 15 days.

I’ve been thinking…

I’ve lived here, in Poland, my whole life. But now, that I think about it, what would be a good reason to live in one place for such a long time? Poland is not that great, really. Or rather, there are many things wrong with Poland and it often starts with the Catholic Church, who has a powerful influence on laws that are passed. But this is not really the post about that. Even if Poland was an amazing and fair country โ€” would that be a reason enough to live here all my life when there are so many possibilities?

For the past two weeks, I’ve been thinking about leaving Poland. I, of course, have not really thought it through yet. But I think I will spend Christmas here, with my family, and then I might leave in January. I don’t know where would I travel to yet. And there are so many things I need to do here before I can leave. And I obviously don’t have enough money for all that, but I will figure it out.

Noodle the Dog

Have you heard about Noodle? It’s a hilarious pug that sleeps a lot. The owner now has an official Threadless store โ€” most likely because he wants to earn money to buy tons of snacks for his cute dog. Understandable.

If you're not following @jongraz on Tiktok, this is what you're missing: boneless pugs

Goooooo https://t.co/rWCvtdTztQ pic.twitter.com/iKCj0w84DY

I was lucky enough to be given an opportunity to create a design for his store. Here is the store. And this is my design:

No Bones Day

Hope you like it ๐Ÿ™‚
