And yet another update...

Thanks to everyone for being so supportive and rallying, it means a whole lot. I just got of the phone with Land of Nod, and I am so pleased to report that they responded to my complaints in a very personal and classy way, very much in line with their brand and general ethos. I am optimistic.

I am so glad they are responding, I'll keep my fingers crossed that there is real and appropriate follow through.

Glad to hear things are looking better! Love all of your artwork!

I am glad it is looking better. I can only imagine how frustrating that is. Hopefully there will be a positive outcome. I know recognition is so important for you as an artist but I hope you also get cash!

I sent an email to LON and also got a response. I hope things are being resolved to your satisfaction. I absolutely hate to think bad things!

Just saw all of this!! OOF so sorry this is happening, but I am so glad to hear things are looking better. SO STRESSFUL and ANNOYING.

Sending good wishes your direction

Oh, yay. Here's hoping they do the right thing. Personal and classy is the way to go!

I have to be honest- I don't think they are very similar at all. If you google "princess and the pea illustration" you will find many equally as similar/different. I'm sure you were their inspiration (which is a bit shady considering you have a relationship with them).

For what it's worth I ADORE yours and think theirs looks boring and generic. They should have paid you and had more of your influence. I may have actually wanted to purchase the set.

assholes? yes
thieves? no

I am glad they are responding in a positive manner. I love your Princess And The Pea design and hope they end up crediting you.

Please keep us posted. I hope you get the recognition and financial compensation you deserve.

I have seen knock offs before and this seems like a generic copy of the princess and the pea fairy tale. I am not sure what the fuss is about. Nobody owns the right to a fairy tale??
