I'm just going to post this e-mail for you guys.

"Hi, my name is *Leaving this blank*, I live in Houston Texas. I have a friend named Chace Baker and today he sends me this email with a picture attached to it. He said he drew the picture using Paint Shop Pro. I highly doubt this but I have no way of proving it and he keeps throwing it in my face. The only thing this kid does all day is lay on his butt and play videogames so when would he have time to draw something like that? Im attaching the drawing so you can have a look at it and maby tell me what you think. It has Angelic Studios slapped on the it so thats why i came to you, maybe you could tell me if you've seen it or something. Thanks in advance, *name*."

The image that he stole was on titled "Kaos". What he did to it was lowered the resolution to crap, removed my signature, LEFT the watermark for my website, and added shit orange text on it.. WTF?

Kaos - The Original

I hate art theifs.

See if you can send a threatening email back to him telling him you will press charges if he continues doin it.

Him being the guy that did it.. not the one that sent you the email

I agree.

There's a Blind Man looking for a shadow of doubt.
There's a Rich Man sleeping on a golden bed.
There's a Skeleton choking on a crust of bread.

Take more steps to ensure that no one can take your art.

Some idiot took a picture of hers, removed her signature, put his "studio's" name on it, and called it his.

People are going to take them if they really want to I suppose. ^^ That's the risk of putting stuff online.

I love watermarks. ^.^ Thankfully, he didn't bother to remove mine so I still had it up there and his friend was able to trace it back to me.

Im using:
http://www.awphosting.com/vhost.php

the Personal Webhosting.. plus they can make plans catered to your needs if possible.

Also I think yer paying way too much.. I used a different place to register my domain name.. for 15 bucks a year.. and using this place for hosting..

He wanted to be caught. It was plea for help. Or maybe he's just that stupid to leave it in.

Oh my god...

Just for comparison... Ummm...

I pay $14 a month + $2 a month for Static IP, have 250M of space, no Badwidth caps, Domain registration is only $14 once a year... DM is generally a super fast site, functions well etc etc.

Registering your domain is yearly.. if it was $30 I hope to gawd you dont have to pay the same amount every year..
