i changed it, it's mine

now, you may be forgiven for believing this image bears some semblance to a trevor brown work? - but you’d be ever-so wrong - “more than 6 things” have been changed - namely (i presume): four red lines under the eyes, two red lines under the nostrils and a white background) - thus any copyright claim trevor may believe he had has been relinquished - and the artist is free to sell $6 stickers (plus $34 postage) of her totally new rendition on etsy signed with her own name [blurred here] - any further credit or permission is not required  - it’s called “fair use law” and she went about this nicely - mr brown is a mean nasty person - her people will contact him

insta-banned

i received many more followers after posting the “kaitai fantasy” photos on instagram - and, apparently and inevitably, many more stupid people reporting me - this pic got deleted for nudity! - in the interests of science and art i submitted a review request - but, after 24 hours, instagram very kindly have not responded - of course i wasn’t expecting them to overturn their decision anyway - that’d be like admitting they were wrong - this is just another self-appointed and moron-manned instagram/facebook department, not an impartial independent review body - so, there we go, the chapman brothers can continue to post their pix of little children with erect penises for noses with no problem while my innocent pix are insta-deleted as pornography - because they are artists and i am not? - all decisions are final

furthermore, i’ve just discovered: my kaitai post, which was top of the #kaitaifantasy tagged posts, has suspiciously now been removed completely from #kaitaifantasy tagged posts! - i rarely use hashtags because i know they are rigged bullshit ...and here is the proof!
