Please check the links below. There has been a massive Art Theft. on DeviantArt. Please make sure you have not been stolen from, and that if the world is sick and you have, that you note the person in the second link to be in on the law-suit.
I was reluctant to read this for fear it was another "Simon Ashton" message, but thank heavens it's legitimate for once! Or not, I guess, since it's worse news than a hoax xD
Wow, this IS serious.. good thing my art is too crappy to steal, and I haven't posted really anything on DeviantArt. Good luck to taking this guy down.. whoever he is. Ugh, also a good thing.. my one year old destroys my art.. lol. He just trashed something I was working on for TEF.. I'd like to see someone steal that and sell it as their own, lol.
I've been reading about this. Its just ridiculous that this guy would have the gull to do something like this and still be able to say hes an artist. I find nothing artistic about stealing someones artwork and claiming it as your own. It's not too smart to steal and sell an artist artwork, especially when you've stolen from over 100 people. I just hope those he stole from can gain the justice they desperately need. I'd like to see this guy rotting in prison, lets see how artistic he can be in there.
Good thing my art is just pixel stuff and reference sheets. Nobody could probably even sell it for three dollars, let alone three hundred C8
That's some really messed up stuff right there, though. Did he think he WOULDN'T be caught, with how much art he stole?
@Saanra:Rofl your pixels are great though ^^. I'm happy my art isn't good enough to be stolen either, thats the good thing about having crappy art rofl. Its anti-theft
This guys actually selling it for a whole lot more than 300$. Its going for $1000+
I honestly don't see him coming out of this situation alive if the lawsuit fails although I'm pretty sure they will win the case. They have a ton of proof against this guy even dating back to 2009
This is infuriating and I'm not even an artist. I've always had massive respect for the artists on deviantart though so this hits me somewhere deep, idk. I hope the lawsuit goes through and brings him down.
But about the art theft, I find it disgusting to steal someone's creation, who's worked a long and hard time on it... And then, you claim it as your own and sell it for a huge fee. This is outrageous. I hope the thief gets the time to rot in dungeons and think about it!!! Luckily, I have only photography, that's not all that special.

Have people just become so lazy that they can't create their own art? It's really disturbing, the amount of theft :/
