This is really heart breaking for me to tell you all of this but due to the extreme case of piracy of the Structure of Man HD course students are no longer buying from me directly, they are choosing to steal. I am lucky to even get one order and that does not cover the costs of all the fees I have to pay to paypal, amazon , yahoo and google. I worked so hard to create this course for over 5 years of my life now, to provide a valuable service to all art students. This course has helped so many and impacted so many lives. But there have come many students who for whatever reasons have spread this course on thousands of websites killing all my sales. I lost my job due to my disability and my wife has been sick for over 13 years, she cannot work. We have no insurance and we both have never collected any type of disability. This is my only income to support my family through teaching art online. I make very little money from these sales but it was enough to feed a family of four and pay the rent, month to month. Please help us by just investing even in one course and not support these piracy websites. I have always kept the price so low for everyone to afford this 96 hours drawing course, because it is against my values to milk people for knowledge. Please if you are not able to help then at least spread the word enough so I can put food on the table and pay my rent. I wish students would understand piracy has such a major impact on individuals lives. Piracy is illegal and against the law world over and can never be justified. Piracy is an organized crime done to bring down small businesses by all individuals who participate. Piracy is stealing period. The Art community must address this very serious issue as it affects all of our futures. I ask all students who are stealing this course from piracy websites or from their friends to think, what is the point of any student getting a higher education when knowing full well all their future work will be stolen by others. Do not destroy your own futures. No person has ever gotten ahead in life in the history of this world by stealing. Please do whatever is in your power to take down from these websites this drawing course and only buy it from me, your teacher. Artists cannot hurt their Art teachers like this.
I also ask all of you to please pray for my wife. Pray for here to get up one day from her bed and be pain free from these dreadful 13 years.

For everyone who steals shall be cleaned out according to what is on one side, and everyone who swears falsely shall be cleaned out according to what is on the other side.

And it shall remain in his house and consume it, both timber and stones."

Exodus 22:25-27
"If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be like a moneylender to him, and you shall not exact interest from him. If ever you take your neighbor's cloak in pledge, you shall return it to him before the sun goes down, for that is his only covering, and it is his cloak for his body; in what else shall he sleep? And if he cries to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate."
Isaiah 38:17
Behold, it was for my welfare that I had great bitterness; but in love you have delivered my life from the pit of destruction, for you have cast all my sins behind your back.
James 4:1-17
What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, "He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us"?
1 Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
Hosea 7:1-3
When I would heal Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim is revealed, and the evil deeds of Samaria; for they deal falsely; the thief breaks in, and the bandits raid outside. But they do not consider that I remember all their evil. Now their deeds surround them; they are before my face. By their evil they make the king glad, and the princes by their treachery.
Matthew 7:7
"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you."
