Question about Afremov patterns

I noticed when searching for patterns under "Leonid Afremov" or "Afremov" that there are very few to download.   There are MANY that have been recycled, including one that was to fulfill a recent bounty.  Does anyone know why?  I love his stuff and want to download the patterns but they are almost all recycled.

Can any moderators help?  Thanks!

Hi xcherubx;

As you know "Afremov" is an artist.... Surely you can find in here afremovs work in cross stitch...

But we dont accept "home made" patterns ... It means full backround , converted (imported) patterns ... It means again made by pattern maker program or pcstitch ....

Once we accept like that patterns and abuse by users ... every picture turn to pattern and upload in here ..

And afremovs painting easly turn  home made patterns.... We can accept only under a "brand" afremov works

I see. So for the ones that were bountys and someone submitted it, it was removed because it wasnt the real pattern?
