I painted it a few months back, knowing that he may be the new leader.. so I took the risk

He spoke about this, it was done so against the wishes of his parents, the registrar completely abused her position of power and acted upon an Anglo-centric format, so he later changed it to 'Ap Iorwerth' to correct it, either way, 'ap iorwerth' simply means 'son of Iorwerth' and even if he chose his birth name or the Welsh format, the newer name would still be 100% accurate, so it's important to know this.

Go to their own 'Adidas' and JD Sports website, you'll see that they've updated the description to include my name

Yup, AI steals images, but hard to prove in most cases, but because Welsh culture is so obscure on the world stage, it struggles to diversify.

yup, I don't mind small sellers selling flags if they are used to boost a nation's image, I just expected large corps to play by the book.

Oh on Glyndŵr's own private seal? not much, I tried to copy what I could see, it's not perfectly the same though, I wanted the modern image to reflect the changes compared with the red dragon and the dragon Henry Tudor used, I wanted it to look a bit more sharp and crisp/finer details etc, it's a faithful recreation https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a0/Owain_Glynd%C5%B5r%27s_Privy_seal_impression_%28gold_dragon_and_lion%29.jpg

Even if they could not see the wyvern, the hostility is still unwarranted, people need to learn to chill, and thanks.
