I would love to know what is really going on. Do the Visual Arts Biennial of the Central American intend to let Habakkuk Guillermo Vargas feed and water the dog, then tie it up to be on display and then allow it to escape and die? Where did you find the truth? When checking out this story I researched a number of different sites, including Sky news and they all had the same story. I would love to know what is really going on.

Do five minutes of research and you will see that everything you've been told is a lie.

I'm not sure if my submission was up to par to make it in the expo, but I'm keeping my eyes and ears open. It's too bad I'm in the states, I wish i could see the show, it should be amazing. Again good work, get some sleep. Darren, I cant wait to see all your hard work pay off. I’m not sure if my submission was up to par to make it in the expo, but I’m keeping my eyes and ears open.

If they are returned, they may be sold again through some other channel. You should also check with Index about money, since they would be able to provide a paper trail if they've made payments on these books. And if they haven't paid, I'm sure the printer/"publisher" would want to get paid and may crawl out of their cave to receive a payment.

The power of the web has proved it's case here, the fact is that there are some people out there who are just greedy, and stoop so low to do anything, even if it means illegally stealing your five years hard work, and all these illustrators copyrights, and designs, to make money. This surely has been an awful experience for you, but it's a huge learning curve all round, we all admire you're perseverence in this matter, and I hope all the replies you've had in this case, make you realise, what a great website, and focal point Apefluff, and little chimp society is around the globe, and maybe this response will give you some ideas to publish your hard work at promoting the illustration community, of which you brilliantly represent..... Think forward once this saga is over, never look back, and take your passion forward, the response is proof what a respected spokesperson you are for the illustration community. Well done, and good luck....I'm impatiently waiting for another update now!!!!! Darren, this is great news.
