I also had some of my artwork stolen recently. Some 14 year old kid got the black and white sketch of the pensive angel from me somehow. He saved it from crickie.com , then uploaded it on deviantart.com under his name. He didn’t change a damn thing about it, not even the file size. I confronted him about it, and the had the nerve to call me a bitch and tell me that it was his. He claims to have drawn it in 30 minutes in pen. This makes me FURIOUS! I mean, it’s like someone walking into my house and taking my hard work, and calling me a bitch for ever thinking that it was mine. I worked really hard on that. Hell, I work really hard on all of my stuff. That one was one of the hardest works I’ve ever done, and one of the best jobs I’ve done on hands in a while. What’s worse is that anyone that knows anything about visual art can look at the rest of his gallery and see that none of it is drawn by the same hand. It’s ALL stolen from other people. Damn kids. You can see my stolen work here and my DeviantArt gallery here. I’ve reported it many times, but it’s still up. I found it Friday night at about 7pm, so it’s been up all weekend. I’m surprised the thief hasn’t taken it down himself. He knows where he got it, and he sure knows he didn’t draw it himself…. GRRRR!!!
