PLEASE HELP ME REPORT THIS PERSON!!

Sorry for the long post, but I need you guys to help me out.

 This person has been tracing/copying not only mine but several other artists’ artwork. They’ve been selling traced/copied art on their bigcartel and participated in various exhibitions for their own profit.

Their Instagram Tumblr Bigcartel Twitter

Signal boosts are super appreciated, thank you!

coping art and claiming it as your own is so low and is a huge peeve of mine. This person is ridiculous and claims doing “art” like this is ok and isn’t considered copying since they alter it a smidge. not to mention they blatantly copy from an artist i admire, Kaneoya Sachiko

there’s a lot more, too. the only thing “original” about their stuff is the dreads on the guys head. report and call them out. it’s one thing to copy but trying to make profit off of it and trying to get known for their artistry is way lame. it’ll bite them in the ass soon enough because when they actually have to freehand it looks like this. they can private their instagram and twitter but they can’t private their tumblr :)

What’s worse is that he finds this whole thing hilarious. He doesn’t see anything wrong with what he’s doing and people are even defending him. WTF

Edit: There’s not a lot on his shop at the moment, but BigCartel does have a section on how to fill out a DMCA here.
