It has come to my attention via e-mails from two different collectors that there have been auctions on Ebay claming to be original art from me being sold at a low "buy it now price"... the two pieces in question where of Batman and the Joker

Please be aware that I believe these auctions to be cut down copiies of 11x17 prints.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please feel free to contact me as to the authenticity of an auction.
Below is a copy of an e-mail that I sent the seller...
Hello My name is Stuart Sayger. I have recently received two e-mails from different e-bay buyers telling me that you have conducted two auctions on e-bay that claim to be original drawings only to actually be digital prints... The auctions also claim that you are a friend of mine. I do not recognise your selling name... If you are indeed a friend please contact me personally so that we can clear up this matter. If you have other pieces by me and wish to clearification as to wheather or not they are originals please feel free to contact me directly. Otherwise I ask you to please not sell anymore auctions related to me or my work on e-bay or elsewhere.
If you feel that a mistake has been made please feel free to contact me via e-mail.
