The artist in question will track this blog down and be a nuisance if I give his name. See his anonymous comment below threatening me. I got to know him a while ago and he was friendly, even made an necklace for Karleen as a wedding present. But he’s become a vengeful monomaniac after the death of his lover. It’ll be interesting to see if he tracks me down again

My latest discovery is in two parts. One is that I’m not very good at sticking to things. I haven’t posted to this blog in a couple of months and still have a backlog of posts to read… oops, I’ll try to be better about it. And the second part of the discovery? When I do stick to something, I do a darn good job at it. painting by Armando Perez

(K M was a strange artist who lived in Bournemouth with his gay lover, who later died. I was paid by an Englishwoman then in Singapore who was planning to sell his peculiar artworks. We met via a voluminous chat room called Ecademy. I knocked up two blurbs at £70 each. You can see some of his artworks here, under his real name C J H. (Later notorious as a cyber stalker).

Discovery –
When you are the in charge of a group of creative types who are all set in their ways and they just happen to be older than you…. you get a headache real quick. You know what they say about teaching old dogs new tricks… well try getting to get 10 creative people on the same page at the same time. ARGH!!

i was unfortunate enough to experience the san Francisco earthquake many years ago.The most memorable part of it for me was the moment I looked up from the table where i was studying at the sound of an amtrack train barreling towards me from a very precise corner of the house . I literally looked in the direction of the sound before i felt it. It took a second more for me to realize it was an earthquake. I wish I could be awakened to all reality that way……suddenly and unmistakable.

That is a nice discovery. I really haven’t experienced an earthquake in my ‘conscious life’ the last one was the 1985 Mexico City quake, and I was a little baby then. So, I know nothing about quakes.
Sorry about your dishes… and maybe everything else in your house.

Discovery:
Nothing gets your heart racing faster than a 7.0 tremblor (earthquake) while you are in the middle of shaving your head in the shower. Nothing makes you jump out of the shower faster than a 7.0 trembler. Nothing pisses me off more than a 7.0 trembler shaking all of my dishes out of the cupboards and spilling them out on the floor.

a wayfarer’s notes 
carefully amended
From the artist on 18 oct 2025 Nice artwork you have appropriated from saatchiart Mixed-Media-The-Prince-of-The-Power-of-the-Air/. Saatchi do not like appropriation taken from their site. Your defamation of me here has been reproduced by a very dangerous man on Facebook, and you are responsible for this ongoing harassment, Vincent (the publisher of the rochereau.uk blog) cannot legally republish your artwork from your Saatchi Art profile without your explicit permission. Here’s a clear breakdown of why, based on the relevant facts and applicable law: The blog’s author Vincent, based on site references to his old domain i*n m*ld*r.clara.net) shares a personal anecdote about being paid in the early 2000s to write promotional blurbs for Hobby’s art via an online chat room, but this doesn’t extend to current reuse rights. If either image is yours from Saatchi Art (as you described), this appears to be unauthorized reproduction and display. Legal Analysis Under UK Copyright Law. If either image is yours from Saatchi Art (as you described), this appears to be unauthorized reproduction and display.Legal Analysis Under UK Copyright Law
Since the blog is hosted on a .uk domain and likely targets a UK audience, the UK’s Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (CDPA) applies. (If you’re in another jurisdiction, similar principles hold under international treaties like the Berne Convention, but local laws like the US DMCA could also come into play for enforcement.)You Own the Copyright: As the creator of original artwork, you automatically hold copyright from the moment it’s created (no registration needed). Uploading to Saatchi Art grants them a limited license to display and promote it on their platform for sales, but you retain full exclusive rights to reproduction, distribution, and public display elsewhere. Third parties like Mulder have no implied permission to download, host, or embed your images on their site.for enforcement.)You Own the Copyright: As the creator of original artwork, you automatically hold copyright from the moment it’s created (no registration needed). Uploading to Saatchi Art grants them a limited license to display and promote it on their platform for sales, but you retain full exclusive rights to reproduction, distribution, and public display elsewhere. This Is Infringement:Reproduction: Copying and uploading your image to his server (as .jpg files) violates your right to control copies (CDPA s.17).Public Display: Showing it on his publicly accessible blog infringes your communication to the public right (CDPA s.20).No “fair dealing” exception applies here. UK fair dealing is narrow (e.g., for criticism/review, news reporting, or research) and requires the use to be “fair” (limited amount, transformative purpose). This post uses the image decoratively alongside unrelated 2001 blog excerpts—it’s not critiquing the art, quoting it, or adding substantial commentary. Simple crediting doesn’t make it fair or legal. No Other Defenses:Past Connection: Mulder’s 2000s involvement with Hobby’s promotions doesn’t grant perpetual rights to republish. Any old agreement would need to explicitly allow future uses, which isn’t evident.Public Domain or Expiration: Artwork from recent years (Saatchi profiles are modern) isn’t public domain; copyright lasts your lifetime + 70 years. Transformative Use: The post doesn’t alter or comment on the image—it’s just illustrative filler. What You Can Do Next Document Everything: Screenshot the blog post, note the date, and save copies of your original Saatchi listing (with metadata showing upload date and your ownership).Contact Mulder Directly: Email him (try ian@rochereau.uk or via his old clara.net domain if active) with a polite cease-and-desist request. Reference the CDPA, demand immediate removal, and warn of further action. Keep it professional to encourage compliance. Platform Takedown: If hosted on WordPress or similar, file a DMCA notice via their abuse form (even in the UK, many platforms honor them).Report to Saatchi Art support—they monitor for unauthorized uses and can assert their license claims. Escalate if Needed: Consult a lawyer (e.g., via the UK Intellectual Property Office or free advice from the Artists’ Union England). For small claims, you could seek damages (e.g., lost licensing fees) through the UK courts—M***** could face statutory damages up to £10,000+ per infringement.
