not trolling

You can’t get much happier than a pig in muck, or so we are told.

But when this little piggy arrived in the farmyard she showed a marked reluctance to get her trotters dirty. While her six brothers and sisters messed around in the mire, she stayed on the edge shaking. It is thought she might have mysophobia - a fear of dirt.

EVEN MORE STOLEN IMAGES, PLEASE RE-BLOG

Please look at these images. This “stall” belongs to a Dealer who exhibited at London Expo this weekend.

Images look familiar? They should. They’re all STOLEN.

This guy claims to be the “genius” behind these works of art. Truth is, the majority, if not ALL of them, have been swiped from deviantART, printed on canvas and sold WITHOUT PERMISSION.

This guy is a fraud, a plagiarist, a thief and liar. Why is he even allowed to exhibit at London Expo.

We all need to gather proof that this guy isn’t all he claims to be. If you recognise ANY of these images. PLEASE SHARE OR COMMENT BELOW. A lot of these works are by American artists. We need to inform them and put a stop to this.

Please, please share and let a team of us put this right. We need to gather a lot of solid evidence to get this guy thrown out.

He didn’t have any business cards (no surprises there) but he’s exhibited and sold at London Expo many, many times.

I intend to write a deviantART journal about this and spread the word myself. It would help greatly if you could share your photos here too and we can pool all our evidence in one place and compare photos.

BY THE WAY, THE GUY IN THE FOURTH PHOTO IS THE MAIN STALL-HOLDER, I BELIEVE, HE WAS PUTTING ALL THE CANVASES OUT ON DISPLAY.

This is What Happens When You Give Thousands of Stickers to Thousands of Kids

Not everyone on Tumblr has English as a first language. 

Do not assume, straight away, that they want to offend you.

Do not assume, straight away, that they have misunderstood you DELIBERATELY.

Do not assume, straight away, that your meaning is IMMEDIATELY OBVIOUS to all concerned.

I am monolingual. I SPEAK ONLY ONE LANGUAGE and I am NOT PROUD OF IT. But seriously, the nuances of language are HUGE and even I know it.

I’ve spent a lot of time teaching students who only speak English as a second (or even third) language and really it is so easy to lose the nuances of the English language it’s not funny. So.. just… think twice before you are a dick. 

I have a lot of friends who speak English as a second (or third, or fourth, etc) language, and it pains me to see them get jumped on when they accidentally misunderstand something or express themselves without the exact correct shade of meaning they meant to in English.
