!ART THEFT¡

Right...here we go, i hope i don't get banned for this, but anyway, I feel other people and not just me can benefit from this.

Recently a user on here (not saying who) has been banned for creating a fraudulent account of an artist that already exists. The reason i'm making a blog is because it isn't the first time this has happened. Maybe not on this site, but on others like it.

I'm making this blog, simply as proof of the date at which i tell people this because she has been known to use words from the original artists profiles on her 'fake' ones whilst impersonating them, but IF you see my work or chars ANYWHERE else but in MY gallery HERE..on THIS profile, then please contact me IMMEDIATELY. I only have an account on here and ONLY post my art on here, if you see someone promoting my art elsewhere, then IT IS NOT ME!! Okay, okay, >_>

I know it's sad i've had to do this, but the internet is both a good and bad place >.<

Here are a couple of links which you may find useful. One of them is a webiste made by an artist that has already been targeted.

Same message applies. Should you see my work anywhere other than this account or my DA. Then please let me know.
