(Sigh) With terrie Smith it's always the same story: Ten percent of her
stuff you look at, drop to your knees and cry out "WE ARE NOT WORTHY!"

The other ninety percent is just depressing.

Of course it's that way! There's no soul behind it. Just a mindless
production machine meant to generate income from the slobbering Chester freaks.

Kinda like a Queen Ant. Too bloated to move from it's chamber, shitting
out hundreds of eggs, day in, day out.

Actually, I'd have said "monotonous" instead of "depressing". Most
Terrie Smith art looks like Playboy pinup after Playboy pinup with
fur, muzzle, and tails added; after a while it all looks alike. I see
nothing that suggests any character or life outside of the picture,
and very little in the picture other than "Lookit me! I'm furry!
Don'cha wanna yiff me?"

And don't get me started on Chester the Swishy Ringtail, one of the
most overdone characters in the fandom; once described as the
salvation of furries who are too embarrassed to cruise a gay bar for
real.

Now those Art Nouveau pieces at the start of the thumbnails page --
they're different. Not so much in the critter, but the style.
However, they probably don't sell as well as the titty-critters and
swishy ringtails.

All looks alike in the same sense that -all- such pin-up art looks alike, you mean?

And still at the height of overall popularity, more so than any other furry character.

I dunno. I rather like those, -and- the series of African Shields. I own one of the originals to the Nouveau
pieces, and wouldn't mind getting one or two more if I could afford them.

"Different". Delve into these links, and draw your own conclusions.


On comparing some of Smith's works to Alphonse Mucha's art:


Mucha Sources:

Book: "Mucha (The Triumph of Art Nouveau)" by Arthur Ellridge
Web: Alphonse Mucha - Art Images - http://www.ocaiw.com/mucha.htm


Smith's Thumbnail page:

Specific Pieces and which Mucha piece they obviously derive from:

In your opinion, of course. She does not jump and down shouting "LOOK AT
ME! LOOK AT ME!!" as is common on this newsgroup, she just does the
artwork that she likes.

You're still just pissed 'cause she stopped doing free artwork to your
specifications on a rush order for your fanzines ("But, you have an
obligation to do artwork for my stuff!"). I remember that incident...

Terrie never said she came up with those backgrounds on her own, they are
obviously Mucha-ish backgrounds (as it says in the description). But, we
all know that Terrie is the only artist EVER to use the influences of
Mucha, or Nagel, or Frazetta, or Disney, or an almost inumerable number of
Japanese anime/mange style artist, or Wyman, or Smith - no, wait...

Obviously, the sophisticated level of sarcasm employed by Glen's

It's an opinion widely held, but I'm the one with the balls big enough
to dare SAY it.

Boy, you took a REALLY big hit on your crack pipe to cook up that alegation.

And what was this "free" shit? Terrie had my money for months, and I had
a deadline at the time, and I wasn't about to let her go O'Connell on
me. If she claims to be a "professional", then she needs to honor such
things as deadlines.

Let's face it, when you pay someone to do a commission, you may not
"own" them, but you sure as Hell RENTED them.

Yeah. Can't go wrong with a character whose basically a gay sex toy.
I don't know if that's how he started out, but that's what his rep is
now -- cacomistle meat on Castro Street. ("OOOOOOO! CHETHTER! YIFF
ME! YIFF ME! YIFF ME!") Like that facet of the original character
just took over -- at least in the minds of the fanboys. And once
more, the essence of "furry" gets defined by genitalia and the
prolific (or implied prolific) use thereof.

I had a nightmare once where I woke up one morning and found I'd
turned into a furry. Not just any furry, but a cacomistle. And not
just any cacomistle, but an exact Chester lookalike. My first thought
was how I couldn't go to *anything* fannish from now on unless I was
looking to get raped.

Though I'd heard the African Shields series are not selling all that
well. Something to do with the mostly-concealing traditional garb
they're wearing. (Though my favorite is the Zorille -- that outfit of
hers just sets her off so well.)

They're more than Mucha-ish Glen, they're Mucha. The elements of the
very backgrounds were so close that it was childsplay to identify the
exact pictures that were used when Smith generated her version of the
same works.

Clothing. Pose. Background. Props. Artistic Style (Art Nouveau).
So frighteningly similar that only a doped up sloth might miss it.
Exacting care was obviously taken when tracing the originals using a
lightbox.

You or the fanboys can defend her to the hilt all you want, but
pictures really are worth a thousand words.

Speaking of words...

From your own copyright FAQ version 1.2, dated 8/21/2000 that you did
in conjunction with Mel White:

= = = cut here = = =

I'VE MODIFIED WHAT SOMEONE ELSE DID, SO IT'S A DERIVATIVE
WORK NOW - I CAN COPYRIGHT THAT, YES?

Not at all. You have violated their copyright. The right to assign
derivative works rests SOLELY with the copyright holder - you cannot
assume that you can do it. If it's sufficiently different, you might
be able to get a copyright, but if it's obviously taken from another
copyrighted work - it's infringement. Plain and simple.

So Terrie's doing a "Bob Liefield", huh? Guess that's a good a sign that
the well's run dry as any.

Actually, each of Terrie's pictures are worth a thousand BUCKS to
Pimpmeister Glen, so watch him come after you now that you'd exposed his
little racket.

Actually, the widely-held opinion is that you're the only one loud and obnoxious
enough to say it. Or anything else, for that matter, and most especially when it
wasn't worth the waste of breath to say it in the first place.

Oh sure. ANYthing not sung in slobbering praise of Terrie Smith is mere
"envious mutterings".

I'd point out, that Terrie openly admits in her Littlepaw 2 collection's "How
to draw" sections that she uses Dover clipart for the backgrounds.. If the
work is old enough it's quite likely to be in a published collection for anyone
to use, as the copyright has expired...

Forgetting all those things from your past again, eh, Michael? Still mad

Not quite. You wanted Terrie to send you some artwork for some fanzine
you were doing - and she did. Then you asked her for something special -
which she did (that was what you paid for, and you got it when you wanted
it). Then you wanted some sort of cover, done in a specific style, RIGHT
AWAY! She told you that she couldn't get it to you right away, and that
you already had plenty of material. Your response was that you needed
this specific item, and that she "Owed it to the fandom to GIVE it to you
for use in your fanzine." She told you to pound dirt, as I recall.

Of course, I recall you back in EQ fandom, when Terrie was doing furry
stuff, and sent you some. You responded that you didn't want any of that
furry stuff, only elves. So, for someone who's "been in the fandom longer
than most", why did you reject it at first? Waiting till the EQ fandom
finally kicked you out?

Why bother having any memory at all? You seem to be doing all that for
me.

But then, the memory you have of me also seems to have me on the Grassy
Knoll, getting Stalin ticked off at his officer corps, and other acts of
general badassedness.

Still being a grudgemongering little shit that needs to dig up the
ancient past? Gee, were'nt you the fucker that gave Mr. Gentile a dirty
look when he dug up that notorious CF8 letter.

As for Richard, not only has he replied, but he's also even thanked me
publicly in his editorials.

So you think I'm lying and you want proof, huh? Okay, stick THIS example
up your ass:

Ex-use me? What bullshit are you puking out now? It's obvious that
you're taking stuff and amplifying it to bullshit levels just to
entertain the slobbering AFFholes here, but let's not start fabricating
outright lies.

If you think you're so right, then show me the letter in Richard's own
handwriting that sez I was eightballed, loser.

Meanwhile, go back to pimping pix of Chester's nadsack to the goobers
and stfu.

Um, he thanked you for "an intriguing 3D photo". Any Joe can send anyone an
"intriguing 3D photo". It doesn't take a lot.

Can't you read, Michael? You got the commission you paid for - then you
wanted another, right away, for free, because "She owed it to the fandom."
Hooked On Phonics just might clear up that reading comprehension problem.

Say WHAT? I'd love to hear you prove I said that, because if any AFFhole

Michael, lad: for me to hate you, I would have to be the slightest bit
concerned about you. You have become a cliche. You have pissed off so
many people in such a stupid and inept manner that you've just become a
joke to the world. And the punchline is that you don't realize it, and

And yet here you are, late at night, sending me all your love. What? Was
there a rerun of Letterman tonight or something?

Oh really? You mean, since I refused to let them make me into their

So sez the man(?) who's biggest niche is pimping his wife to drooling
fanboys at cons, who want pix of Chester "winking back at them".

There was Mark Iennaco, but now he's gone. And there was Kyla
Littlejohn's husband, but now he's gone too.

You're the last of a dying breed, pal. Homo Tomarnoldicus.

then why did the post I was responding to include the bit from the copyright

lazy is just lazy, but when I see remarks that includes "doesn't make it right"
I think the issue is more than mere lazyness..

I agree with that, it shouldn't say just "Mucha-style" on the
descriptions that would be more honest to give more credit to Mucha and
says these picture are modification/derivative of his paintings.

Just can't STAND the fact that I can be right about _anything_, can you?

Just as I thought. Fanboys are too chickenshit to speak in support of
someone that's "unpopular", for fear of being seen as "unpopular" themselves.

Well, I have'nt seen anyone confirm any of the allegations you & Glen
have made (Terrie would'nt count, because she can't talk while Glen's
drinking a glass of water).

I really wish you could have honored a simple agreement, but I guess the

Oh, good Lord, you insult Terrie Smith, then start cursing at Glen Wooten like
a 3rd grader would, then you just won't shut up. I'll agree that Mr. Wooten
shouldn't be fighting with you, I was taught that it's not a good idea that
college boys kick pre-schoolers. Terrie & Glen have done a lot for the fandom,
what have you ever done?

I will agree with Glen on one thing - why don't you just shut up? People will
think a lot better of you if we don't have to hear from you ever again.

Well, there was a valid claim. If a commission was taken with the
understanding that there would be a deadline for it, then the commission
should be done. And don't get me wrong, I like her work and respect her as
a person and artists, but I do think that she's much more versitle on her
own to have to copy from a magazine or book. But, she's good at what she
does and the general public doesn't seem to mind so I guess that's all that
matters.

If you follow the thread closely enough, you will see that there WAS
indeed a commission, and that artwork purchased in that commission WAS
produced. Then Michael Hirtes demanded ADDITIONAL artwork for the cover
of his book, but with NO ADDITIONAL PAY for this new, rush-order
request. Michael claimed that it should be done for free, because Terri
owed it to the fandom. Terri was not about to drop everything else to
*donate* an extra piece to Michael, and that's what he's whining about.

The contract (ie: the money paid for the commission, and the delivery of
said artwork) was completed. Michael is ranting about not receiving the
additional artwork, for no additional funds, and on VERY short notice.

The fact that he keeps telling that story as a commission-gone-bad is
why Glen has to keep jumping in here to correct him.

The fact hat Glen won't let him believe his little fantasy makes Michael
call him things like "Terri's Pimp" and he then makes up stories about
how Terri's work is heartless and blah, blah, blah, ad nauseum.

Michael is a sorry, demented little troll, who always has to get the
last word in... and can *never* be wrong, no, not Michael. There *is*
entertainment value in it, though... because he is so obsessive about
this, he can never shut up. When he is about to lose one argument, he
attacks someone else with whatever hate-filled lie he can ome up with to
diert attention from the fact that he is losing the argument.

I wonder who he is going to defame next?

OKay okay, I read that after reading the message before posting. That was

side of the story now.

Personally I think this is getting nuts. Mike would have been better off
commenting on the art than on the people, at least in that respect there
were some valid points, but I can't support the name calling.

This might provide some guidance as to derivative works and how to
properly approach their creation and release:

http://www.loc.gov/copyright/circs/circ14.pdf

Fair Use:

http://www.loc.gov/copyright/fls/fl102.pdf

Another resource is going directly to the U.S. Code, Chapter 17,

Here's a convenient link.

That site provides a link to "Notes"

http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/casecode/uscodes/17/chapters/1/sections/section_107_notes.html

In the notes you'll find some interesting reading.

I'm trying to determine if Mucha's works are copyrighted by the Mucha
Foundation, or the Mucha Trust, or if his works have lapsed into the
Public Domain.

Anyone have clear evidence one way or the other?

All i've seen is some lackluster prints, and lackluster prints that were

I _requested_ that she could _contribute_ to the zine (ie, nothing
specifif like a commission is).

There's a big dif between a _contribution_ and a _commission_.

I made a _request_, but there was NO _demand_.

I now suppose you're going to call me a liar, in spite of the fact that
*I* was the one that made the request (were you intercepting the emails
between Terrie & I?).

To you, it's ALWAYS the other guy who is right, even if it was down to
me vs. Bin laden, would'nt it be, Darell?

No, it's what you are falsely accusing (still no proof to your

And that was that. I also asked her if she'd like to contribute (is that arm-twisting?).

Again, you're a liar.

If anyone wants to bother looking thru Google, it was'nt me who started
it. It was either you or Glen (don't remember which, and I really don't
freaking care either) that decided to bring it up, as yet another
example on how eagerly you like to give me shit.

>

Well let's face it! What IS the guy doing besides living off the wages
of his wife's prints? Even when it comes to the net, it's always Glen
that's posting, not Terrie.

> and he then makes up stories about

The word was "soulless", not "heartless".

And let's face it again. Can her characters get any MORE bland-faced?

And Darell is the fanboy asswipe that loves him so.

I'll accept being wrong on matters I actually AM wrong on. I'm not going
accept blame for things that people LIE about, however.

Yeah, it's called "being a fucker".

Again, you seem to think I'm just gonna bow down and be your bitch. When
will you ever learn that I'm not going to just stand there and let

I'm not the one to lie (you've got that distinction), and let's not
"diert" from the original topic, which was Terrie's ripping from other artists.
