temet nosce
found out about this from salamangkierofoxyreign. i care because my brother and sister are both illustrators and i'd be very angry if anyone were taking advantage of them like this:

Bayo has been ripping off illustrators from Japan for their designs. The illustrators contributed to Delicatessen's book and web compilation MONDOFRAGILE: Modern Fashion Illustrators from Japan.
  1. TADAHIRO UESUGI's artwork for a Japanese magazine (aerial view of a girl in a bikini sunbathing - it's page 27 of the MONDOFRAGILE book illustrations) was traced and used for Bayo's summer window displays (with fake grass background) without him knowing it.
    [does anyone have photos of the window displays so i can do a comparison to the original?]

  2. YUKA MAEDA's black-outlined little girls are on Bayo Kids shirts without her permission.
    [according to this blog, the link to the Bayo Kids site has been removed from the bayo.com.ph website.]

  3. EMMA.MORI's big-eyed vector girls and animals are used in Bayo's display ads.
    <--the little deer on their tag now? (and on these tees: TS3643, TS3640, TS3839)
    that's Emma's, not Bayo's.
    [the original is on http://homepage3.nifty.com/emmatic/illust/fancy/f07_e.html
    the original of the poodle on the Bayo Kids logo is on http://homepage3.nifty.com/emmatic/illust/fancy/poodle_e.html]

    KIDS OF BAYO [Glorietta]


    [info]coathangerwings has a photo of Emma's Candy Girl illustration
    on a Kids of Bayo shopping bag.

    also, if you check out Emma's BBS, you'll see this:
    —hi
    your illustrations are the cutest i've ever seen!
    unfortunately, a clothing brand here in the philippines named BAYO seems to be using your drawings for their children clothing line (t-shirt and bag logos). do they have your permission?

    —Hello!!
    I don't know BAYO....
    I look BAYO's web.
    I was very much surprised.
    My illustration was being used without notice.

    This is a crime.
    It is here so that it warns BAYO soon.
    thanks!!! [1/4/2005]
    not to mention, this:
    Hello,we are the web developer of Bayo. Our designer informed me of the issue of Bayo using your illustrations and saw your bad bambi artwork. Theirs is DEFINITELY a trace of your artwork. I already informed Bayo representatives to address the issue! Let me know if there is something we can do to help.
