Artists can now post their art for all to see and unfortunately, those very much less talented can steal it and claim it for their own! The thing is there are millions and billions of eyes out there and a pair is bound to notice that an ‘artist’ is claiming something he/she did not do. I’m glad you all caught this jerk! 😡
Unless you’re not a popular artists. I’ve dealt with theft of my art before… I’m not popular, so only my friends and a small hand full of people recognize my work. I watermark the crap out of my work now.
Wow he deleted his whole gallery/profile on DA. Makes me think all of his art was stolen then. Or DA may have done that to him.
Yeah as an artist I watermark the crap out of my art too, but it just seams like art theft has been getting worse.

I was refreshing the main page once and saw some cool marker art. I browsed his gallery… just joined that day, said he wanted to “get his name out for commission money” and as I browsed his gallery, I noticed one picture looked like a direct trace from another persons art. I mentioned it, and he deleted his entire account 2 hours later.Yea, nobody has really stolen any of my art that I know of claiming it to be theirs. None of my PYOs really either that I know of. I remember someone posting pictures of Watergazers PYOs on ebay claiming that they painted them and they were selling commissions.

I had wondered what the point was of posting stolen art, other than ego gratification or being “clever” (fooling other people). But posting someone else’s art and then soliciting commissions, that goes beyond copyright infringement and into fraud (in my opinion). 👿 I can see why you were so quick to let the art community know that it wasn’t his work.
