Funniest art theft ever :DI just got a note that my artwork got stolen.. Not only mine, I noticed some other artists' works there. I usually take care of such things in private, but in this case I'll make the exception, as it deserves it. I literally almost fell of my chair, laughing, when I saw that

See for yourself:

Yes, I'm attaching this person's account name on purpose. After all she didn't feel bad to steal my art, alter it poorly and also claim she was the model for some of it, so why shouldn't I share her name in return? Seems only fair after all the hard work she put into it

Anyone knows how reporting works on Flickr? I never used it before.

Shame.

Who in their right mind thinks they can thieve a super popular artist and no one will notice?

~KrisKillerX Feb 12, 2013 Student Digital Artist

That is not a art theft ...
they just got inspired ...
like 99% inspiration ....
............BA DUM TSS!
ok that was bad joke

But well god why do people do this , i understand getting an inspiration but ,stealing a art and altering it to look differently (many times worse not just different)
aaah...xDD those people instead of just sitting down and starting drawing , improving, year by year, by themselves ...they just throw away that amazing and soul fullfiling process to the trash can ,and steal what is not theirs -.-" and the worst part is ...whan they go ahead and use money of your stolen art -.- just sick !!!

Poorly altered is an understatement o.o They are a disaster compared to the originals!

LMAO! I hope they know that if they really needed the practice they could have just asked your permission -- I doubt you would have not let them use your work so they could learn to use Paint. But attempting to use your work as their own like that? ....Woooow. HAH!

Oh yes, I have no problem with that. I'm actually really fine if people use my art for their own, personal creations. Like decoupage, bookmarks, tattoos, learning how to paint or whatever. As long as nobody sells it as his or publishes as their own creation, altered or not, or without credit, I really don't care. I'm actually very happy whenever I find my works used for such personal projects, I even had one girl do an actual woven kilim out of one of my geisha pieces and it was purely amazing!

Seriously! Just ASK! lmao

My god, that's just creepy...

Absolutely adore your artwork, by the way. I'll be watching you!
