Godaddy Allows Unauthorized Domain Hijack

Jason Gaylor — Wed, 07 May 2008 15:00:46 +0000

My friend and co-worker Dan Spencer was recently a victim to a domain thief. His site flyguydesigns.com and domain was hosted with godaddy one day, and then before he knew it, they allowed an unauthorized transfer of ownership to the domain and hosting account. After making over 10 calls yesterday to them, the summary is that they can’t help him. The hijacker has converted all of his “buy now” buttons into his/her own paypal account, and when a customer makes a purchase, they don’t receive any product. Not only is this a complete violation, but his reputation is now on the line. After years of building up traffic and sales from lots of hard work, it’s hard to believe that someone like godaddy would allow such a thing.

For the time being, don’t purchase anything from his site. If/when he gets this resolved, I will post again.

Jarad Johnson has a few words to say about this. Other comments and info on the Departika blog.

UPDATE
Thanks to commenter below for providing information on how digg helped David Airey get his domain name back, I’ve decided to push the digg thing a little harder and see if we can’t try and help out Dan a bit. Please take a second and digg it up.

Valentastic Valentine

Jason Gaylor — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 19:27:12 +0000

I commissioned some folks at ~~Blacksuits Creative~~ Departika to help out on some designs for this Valentine set of Photoshop Brushes, PNGs, EPS, and Illustrator vector art. There is quite a mix of ideas here. Thanks to Katie Canada, Dan Spencer, and Erik Rothrock for helping me put these together. Would have had them up earlier but my hosting company decided to shut down my site for a few days because my traffic was maxing out the CPU on their shared server. :)

I’m now on a Dedicated box. Whatever the heck that means. Hopefully that won’t happen again. I’m glad to be back…

There are 15 Brushes in this set. The brushes work with Photoshop CS and above. Anything before CS will require using the PNG files below. Buy this set for $11.99.

The original vector files for this set are available for $9.99. You must have vector editing software (such as Adobe Illustrator, or Macromedia Freehand) to edit this file. Included in this download is an AI, and an EPS file compatible with Adobe Illustrator version 8 and above. Preview of the Vector files.

For those of you using earlier versions of Photoshop or other editing software I offer a nicely zipped file of all 15 PNG files from this set. Buy this set for $11.99

Tasty Tattoo Photoshop Brushes, Vector Art, and PNGs

Jason Gaylor — Wed, 13 Sep 2006 22:58:09 +0000

Tattoos, Tatoos, Tattos, Body Art, Super Cool Body Paint For Your Mom, whatever you want to call it. I embarked on a journey last week to create some tattoo inspired brushes. I sat down with some graph paper, a pencil, and some tattoo magazines. Taking cues from some of my favorites I drew several designs, scanned them, traced my sketches in Illustrator, converted my art to vector, and then I brought them into Photoshop and made a nice little set of brushes for you. If you’ve used my brushes before then you know the drill. If you’re a newbie, read on…

These brushes are big, so they are ideal for print work. You can use them for Web stuff as well, but you will need to size them down. Most of them are around 1800-2400 pixels wide or tall. Here’s a few examples I created to illustrate what you can do with the Tasty Tattoo Set:

Brush Compatibility
This Brush Set Works with CS and CS2 versions of photoshop. For those of you using earlier versions of Photoshop or other editing software I have created a series of PNG Files (8.0 MB) for $14.99. These should open in almost anything else.

Vector Files For Purchase
The original vector files for this set can be purchased. You must have vector editing software (such as Adobe Illustrator, or Macromedia Freehand) to edit this file. Included in this download is an AI, and an EPS file compatible with Adobe Illustrator version 8 and above. Since there are a lot of designs, I’ve divided them into 3 individual sets. You can buy them individually or purchase them all and save $3.
