Special Wing Overlays to Help Flip the Senate!

I want to help the effort to ensure voting rights and getting folks registered in Georgia for the January Senate runoff elections, so this is my contribution - digital iridescent Luna Moth fairy wing overlays in return for a $3 donation to either Fair Fight or The New Georgia Project.

From now until the election, 100% of the proceeds from these wing overlays will go to either The New Georgia Project or Fair Fight by default, non-profit organizations fighting voter suppression and registering new voters in Georgia.
You probably already know how important those 2 senate seats are, they mean the difference between Biden’s presidency being able to reverse all the harmful Trump era policies, or being hampered by a GOP senate with Mitch McConnell still blocking nearly every important bill.
After the election, depending on how well I am or am not doing, I may change the percentage to 50% or I may leave them as wings solely for donation to one of the handful of non-profit organizations I’ve chosen, such as Transgender Law Center, Black Lives Matter, Bail Project or the Sogorea Te Land Trust.

My other overlays of my original designs are set so that $1 from each is donated, as well as 5% of any of my hand made wing or accessory pieces I make here myself - the print-on-demand items are excluded since I already made only a very small profit on those but still have to pay sales tax on the full value.

Below is one example of how they look edited into an Adobe Stock photo by kharchenkoirina.

Of course, that copyright watermark on the wings won’t be there in the ones you download.

I’ve edited the wings in and adjusted the colors a little darker as well as adding some blur to them to look more like they’re in the shot. They’re from photos I took of the extra giant Luna moth wings I made a few years back, with an added back panel, so they are a fantasy version of luna moth wings rather than exact from nature.
There are 9 files included in total, 3 wing images that each have 3 perspectives created using a 3D perspective warp so you should have the perfect wing for most poses. One file for each wing version, you’ll have to mirror them and it’s assumed you already would know how to do that and some basic editing in order to make them look as natural as possible. There is already a transparency mask on them for you but you can always edit them to be even more transparent.

And that’s that! Please spread the word if you know people who would like to edit portraits or selfies with iridescent wings and help win the Senate back at the same time so we can get that mountain of bills on Mitch’s desk finally passed and get covid relief to all the many people who need it.

Fairy Wing Flash Sale! Tomorrow, Nov. 17 at 10am Pacific

Sorry to keep you waiting fairies! It took a minute to recuperate from the election stress but I’ve gotten some wings made for you. This Extra Large Pansy set in Ultraviolet film with copper veins is the star of the show.

They’re just a smidge smaller than the giant size, with the upper panels measuring roughly 26 - 27 inches long. They’re laminated with the Ultraviolet iridescent film, which shines mostly violet with some blue and hints of teal and a yellowish undertone. They are also the most clear of the films, so they look very ethereal.

In addition to these, I’ll also have a set of the Colette wings in clear Diamond Fire, there’s a set of the Rainbow Aquatica wings I already listed this weekend (surprise!) and I may add another repeat style if I can find time.
In case you need it, here’s the shop link: https://fancy-fairy-wings-things.myshopify.com/collections/flash-sales

Notice it’s different from the Home page of my Shopify store, although they’ll also show up there but the Flash sale page won’t have all the digital items showing first.

Infringement is NOT hot, Paris Hilton.

*Update: As of February 2023, the legal issue between Paris Hilton and myself has been privately resolved

How cheap does someone have to be, to find a listing for digital wing overlays and cut & copy the wings out from the preview image rather than buy them for a measly $6.99??

I got a message yesterday linking to an Instagram post from Paris Hilton, asking "are these your wings?" Yes, yes they are, and what is especially disappointing is it appears my wing image was cut from the listing graphic.

The listing is here: https://fancy-fairy-wings-things.myshopify.com/products/titania-fairy-wings-transparency-stock-png-files

That's right - rather than buy the legit files they happened upon, it appears this person instead copied the green wings out of my graphic, infringing on my intellectual property and violating my copyright.
I expect this is what they did because you can still see the edges of the yellow wings that are behind the green ones in my listing graphic and they included the wings in back on each side, which are in exactly the same position as in the graphic.

The files do not come that way.

I've sent a DMCA to Paris' merch store email, I've commented on the post as well as tweet at her and lots of other people have commented on this as well with no response.

Looks like another artist, Indg0 may have also been infringed in this image!

It's their background used here, without permission or payment according to Indg0.

I'm gonna need to see some order receipts if I'm wrong - and credit on the post - because there are no digital wing orders from her or anyone tagged in the post, which can be seen here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CE7-zZqHIG0/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

This is not the first celebrity infringement and I'm sure it sadly won't be the last as long as entitled wealthy celebs assume they can take whatever they want from indie artists due to their privilege and power. Paris Hilton's image is shown here in Fair Use, for the purposes of criticism, public commentary and communicating important news to the public about a public figure. For more of my experiences with copyright infringement, you can see my past blog entries by clicking on the Copyright Issues link on the right.

Oh and also? Just read today that she’s been heaping some praise on Trump, saying:
”He’s a very nice man. I think on TV people like to say things about certain people, but he’s actually a very sweet person. I like him a lot.”
GROSS.
She’s got an awful history of racist behavior as well, but somehow is still famous for being an heiress and the world’s first influencer.
