Tons of things from my brain

Art thieves are like fungus; you get rid off one, another one appears. And when friends are affected it adds more to the anger. This individual is an especially nasty kind! #artthief #artthieves #stolenart #plagiarism #traced #tracedart #scam #scamartist #ripoff #badpeople #artistsbeware #alert #slimer #ghostbusters #badexcuse #screenshot https://www.instagram.com/p/COTz7z_DCho/?igshid=1eo0brj4w4w4n

Update on the art thief: they left an furious anger after finding out they got exposed. 🤣 Also a huge thanks to everyone that helped! 💖💕 Trying to squeeze out free art from artists is an insult on itself, but stealing someone else’s art and pretending to be that artist is a whole new level of bad! A hot tip I can give to other artists is to share your art as a small image (JPGS recommended and too small to be repurposed as merch) and if someone asks you for a trade and you agree on, make sure they do their part first. Commissions: either full price or 50% of it payed ahead of time. Hope everyone (except for scammers and thieves) has a great week!✨ #update #scamartist #scammer #arttheft #artthief #stolenart #revenge #seasonfinale #happyending #thankyou #exposed #funnystuff #message https://www.instagram.com/p/CMvX_tUDIOZ/?igshid=1e1x9h9hjr1k4

Scammer alert! There is that person who pretends to be an (popular) artist from Japan. Not only do they seem to do this to gain popularity, but also to receive free art from people. This person tried to scam me and other artists to get free art. They would keep asking (in an very annoying way) if I’m open for commissions, which I wasn’t because I was already busy. Eventually I gave in and then they claimed they have no PayPal because they are „too young“. Which was the first strange thing, especially since they agreed to pay. We eventually agreed on a trade and judge yourself on the result. Found the original artist on Pixiv and messaged them on their Twitter account. And it confirmed my theories. Sadly; Instagram STILL hasn’t done anything against it! All I can do at that point is to warn other artists. #scamalert #artistbeware #scamartist #identitytheft #stolenart #warning #beware #disney #gravityfalls #renandstimpy #nickelodeon #adventuretime #skullgirls #couragethecowardlydog #cartoonnetwork #mylittlepony #ghostbusters #therealghostbusters #evidence #screenshots https://www.instagram.com/p/CMnrWmpjNhS/?igshid=16pzli695vw78
