Post photos of your stolen art

Posted by Alex Pickett on Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 6:51 PM

In this week's Urban Explorer, I tackle local art theft and profile a couple artists whose artwork was stolen, literally, right off the wall at a gallery and restaurant.

It's not a rare occurrence. Talk to any prolific artist and most likely they'll have a story or two about pilfered paintings.

As I reported the piece, I thought about the good it could do to get pictures of the stolen art into the public eye. So, if you read the online version of the story, there are photos of the stolen pieces I wrote about.

But there are only two photos so far. If you’ve had art stolen, I’d like to post your photos, too.

So, if you have a digital photo of your stolen artwork, go to the Creative Loafing You Shoot page and upload the photo via Flickr. Once received, we'll post the photos on the story's web page. Just think of it as a digital milk carton. And, hopefully, it’ll lead to the reuniting of you and your work.

What a great service to provide! As a group, emerging artists aren't all that good at getting the word out about anything, being poor self-promoters and all, much less about crimes committed against them. Now, about intellectual property theft, as opposed to stealin' the actual canvas... that's a can of worms to open.

The last point about intellectual property theft is a good one. It didn't make it into the article, but the lawyer I spoke to said this is probably the biggest danger to these artists. If they never registered their art with the government, someone can steal the design and make it their own. So, advice to artists: register your best work.

Likewise, if you stole some art, take a photo of it and put it in the same space....

It's the least you could do ... Also, if you do upload anything, try to put some contact info and where it was stolen, too.

No one likes a Windows XP slow startup.When you startup your computer you want it to be ready to use immediately. I can not make it that fast, but I can help you fix Windows XP slow startup.First step to fix Windows XP slow startup is to find out what programs are loading when you startup Windows XP. To do this click start, run, then type in msconfig and hit enter. Look at the Boot.ini tab. In the box labeled Timeout change the time from the default 30 to 3. This changes how long it waits to before booting.
