shinybumofleonardodavinci: stiles-and-the-sourwolf: stiles-and-the-sourwolf: shinybumofleonardodavinci: stiles-and-the-sourwolf: The IG account Teenwolf_fanart is a blog composed of stolen artwork, much of which is mine. I honestly feel ill when I see people snatching original works off the internet and reposting them without permission, credit, and cropped-out watermarks. Upon finding almost my ENTIRE collection of Home drawings here, I immediately left several comments asking the user to please remove my illustrations. My pleas were ignored and a few hours later, another piece of my art was posted, again without links to my blog or fic. This blatant act of disrespect not only hurts me as the artist, but I feel it is also a low blow to all other artists who work hard to create a piece only to have it disrespected entirely. Some may ask why this situation irks me. “You get free publicity!” “You get to see all the extra likes your art gets!” But it’s not something to be celebrated. You work really hard on something, spend anywhere from 10-24 hours painting a scene to accompany the story you’ve been crafting for 10 months— and then someone steals your finished masterpieces and shows them off to 5,200 people without acknowledging your love, effort, or time you spent on that piece, and then those 5,200 people see your work and have no idea that YOU created it or that it even goes along with a story. I have reported this account and suggest others do the same, as it seems to be a blog solely dedicated to stealing and reposting art without permission. I spotted a lot of tumblr art as well, so if you create TW fanart you might want to take a look. Weeding through pages of posts and copy/pasting links to the 48 stolen illustrations of mine into a copyright report was not exactly how I wanted to spend my morning, but disrespecting intellectual property is not something I take lightly. Respect artists, please. I just checked the whole thing and my heart stopped when I found one of my drawings on it. It’s cropped and the watermark unreadable. I feel so incredibly sick right now. DON’T STREAL OTHER PEOPLE’S ART OR WORKS!!! I EXPLICITLY PUT THAT UNDERNEAT ALL OFF MY DRAWINGS. Is there anyway to report stolen content on instagram if you don’t have an account? Or if you have an account. Cause I’ll make one if I have too…. Don’t ever steal othr people’s works. We work hard on these things and we put it out there so other fans fan see enjoy it too. But art theft is why so many people r3move there works online!!! Checking back on the blog, the user appears to have deleted my comment on their most recent post (a stolen drawing of mine) expressing my urge for them to remove my work. Good thing I took a screenshot! My comment is now gone. I now officially have no chill. TEENWOLF_FANART BLOCKED ME AND OTHERS WHO REPORTED THEM, AND ARE DELETING COMMENTS TELLING THEM TO TAKE IT DOWN. I cannot access their page. This is NOT OKAY on so many levels. PLEASE GO REPORT THIS PERSON FOR ME. PROTECT THE ARTISTS @yijitumbles your stuff was here too, and please tag other tumblr artists if you see their stuff!!!! Fucking hell I just went to check it too and it said the page is private so I can’t access it either. I reported it just in time. But fuck I’m so freaking mad! The nerve on this person! I normally don’t reblog stuff from my main account to my side accounts but seeing this is about my art I had to. Me and a whole bunch of other artists are currently fighting a disgusting art thief. I was just in time to report my drawing as stolen but a lot of other artists where not that lucky. So please do report them and I hope we can get their account removed! I’m absolutely pissed and disgusted. After many people reporting and commenting on the stolen art they put their account on private or removed the comments and blocked everybody that commented. I’m not a very know or popular artist so my chances are smaller in getting a lot of people to react to this and help out, but if you can help please do! For the justice of art!!! -- source link
