Despite everything, it’s still you.

Granted, art theft and reposting is never going to stop without proper education about why it’s so bad, and without help spreading word: but I’m coming to cross and lose my patience over being nice about this.

This is the MOST reposted on instagram piece of mine that I have. And I’m quite frankly losing patience every day retyping the message along the lines of “Hi, this is a repost of my art and I’d appreciate if you deleted this.” Every few hours.

I’ve personally dealt with and have seen successful about 50 people so far, I can’t keep track how many others afterward; and no its not just this piece, I’ve seen my other works reposted to instagram but again; this is the most popular I’ve seen.

Sure people credit me. But most don’t. Some even are taking credit FOR having drawn this. Not only do I have the files saved to prove anyone wrong, but I also had a live stream where real humans WATCHED ME DRAW THIS. I am TIRED of seeing my art reposted and being claimed as other peoples’ art.

And it’s not just me either. Plenty of my own friends have their works reposted and edited. Hell, I’m also finding my works on ifunny. But I’m venting on this here because the point I’m trying to make is: STOP.

If you spot my art or anyone you knows art reposted on any social media, please bring it to their attention and try helping them. Because I’m worn. I’ve only had my instagram for four or five days and I’ve left more comments on ‘Please delete this repost’ than I have followers or likes.

You may make a mistake, but you are not a mistake.

You may screw up, but you are not a screw up.

You may fail, but you are not a failure.
