Hello everyone in the TC community this is Mrs Tiki Beat - Marcus is in Hawaii at the moment so he asked me to drop you all a line and thank you so much for looking out for him and his work - Hewey you are very switched on!! I have made contact with the people at Homebake and they are very apologetic for mistakenly using Marcus's work in their artwork, however, Marcus was more than happy for the image to be used and they are now going to add his details to the image to make sure that he gets the credit for the carving (and the photo) -I have copied their response below, as you can see they have really paid a huge compliment to Marcus and his work.

"I did honestly think it was an ancient carving from a museum - hence it being so relevant to our messaging.
Now that I know that it is yours, I would be more than happy to credit you - however, as I am also so taken by it's beauty, I would actually be interested in buying it from you (especially as it is kind of a mascot for such important theming)."

What a wonderful forum you have looking out for each others art and protecting it from being used incorrectly. Thank you again. Yvette
