But two weeks agoone of her blog ns spotted a text-painting of Kals being sold as a print in a Vancouver shop, without the artists permission. Kal was getting ripped off.With a little digging she found out that Be true to who you are has been reproduced on tote bags, necklaces, coffee mugs, and it was even spotted in a video. Ithas been posted on Tumblr over one and a half million times. And she hasnt seeing a cent in return. Its not approved, not allowed,and its not awesome,andwith that,Kal got to work.

Kal Barteski knows firsthand that the internet can work for her, and against her. The internet is big for me, its huge. I make my money posting things on the web. Kal is an artist and an award winning graphic designer. She makes a living selling her work online, and keeps her creative juices flowing with her popular blog, love life.
