I decided to try out google's image search to see where my artwork had ended up on the internet. There was the typical disappointing art theft such as people editing out my signature, selling my art on iphone cases, and even one of my drawings was being used as the background in an online videogame: www.girlsplaygame.com/hidden-s…
But then I found something hilarious...
Do you guys remember the Kim Possible nativity picture I drew a few years ago? Here's the link if you haven't seen it...
Now obviously this is not a realistic nativity scene... I mean, Kim Possible is drawn as the Virgin Mary, Dr. Drakken is a shepherd, and Monkey Fist (a guy with genetically altered monkey hands and feet) is flying overhead as an angel. It was just meant to be humorous Christmasy KP fan art.
However, I discovered over google's image search that, not one, but several churches were using my drawing (without asking me) as though it were a real nativity picture. One Christian school used it as the image on a poster:
It was also used as the image for a serious Christmas article in the online Examiner magazine. It was used again and again... Here are just some of the websites that thought it was a normal nativity image:

Could they not see that Joseph is Ron Stoppable- a teenage boy? Or that one of the shepherds has blue skin? LOL
If only they had just asked me before using the picture, I would have told them it wasn't a real nativity scene.
God, this is too funny XD

Watercolors
I bought a watercolor set at Aaron Brothers yesterday, and a book on watercolor painting. I've always loved the watercolor paintings I've seen here on DA and I've wanted to learn how to paint in watercolor for a long time. I'm going to attempt some landscapes.
