hey so my art got traced and used as album cover art
a few of you might already know this but someone from instagram Matteo Rainini traced my art and turned it into fanart for a rapper called 6ix9ine which he then used as cover art for his new album “DAY69″
i saw the traced version a few weeks ago and thought “oh it’s just another weirdo on the internet this won’t get out of hand i don’t need to worry about anything” but i didn’t know this was happening at that time. All I knew was that someone traced my and nothing more.
but then someone told me it was being used for some rapper’s album cover and i STILL didn’t take it seriously because i thought “well if only one person’s telling me about this obviously not a lot of people know about this dude it’s no big deal” but then more people started to notice this thus more people started sending me asks about it and then i start to worry
as far as i know, 6ix9ine doesn’t know about this. he doesn’t know this was traced, and he doesn’t know about me. i don’t have an instagram and as far as i’ve seen the only way to get in contact with him is through there so i’m asking as an artist to please PLEASE inform him about all of this. here’s a link to his instagram and the link to the traced art on his account
this isn’t the first time someone’s traced my art and it sadly won’t be the last either people will be shitty and that’s just that. it is however the first time art traced from me got used for yknow. an album cover. and i really want it to be the last
