I have sent a message to @artwatch. If you search my wallet history, you'll clearly see a payment to @artwatch 17 days ago with the memo "Agreed additional steem for open use of giving steem submission - thank you." I made an arrangement with @artwatch in good faith and paid for the use of the image despite it not winning the competition. You can clearly see from my posts how I am using them in combination to help create the Giving Steem initiative and I do indeed have every claim.

I'm sure you can understand that someone who ran a competition to commission the work of artists to help build an initiative and paid them all in good faith would feel that it was not appropriate for someone else to co-opt the use of those images? Can you not run your own competition to produce your own images? I appreciate you like the image, that was the idea. I'm sorry this has happened....I don't understand why you would want to use an image that was already in use but I guess you didn't mean any harm.
