ether

seriously people, don't call yourself an artist if you're not going to 1) ask permission before using another artist's work and 2) not give credit for the original work.

 is a blatant rip off of my "sleepless" image  .

because the thief didn't ask me in the first place about using my work, i had to find out second-hand about this rip. he even admitted that his fat blur was based off of my image in the comments but, when asked about giving credit to me, never responds. but oh, he most certainly keeps accepting thanks for his "work" to all the compliments posted. what the fruitbat.

this won't be the first time it has happened to me and it won't be the last. i'm absolutely certain that i am not the only artist this has happened to. and really, at the end of the day, aside from the rants and anger, i just wish people had basic courtesy. if i wanted to use someone's work (or house, or cat, or car) i'd ask permission and i'd never tell a stranger "oh yieah, this is my stuff". that's just the decent, polite thing to do and it should be how people act regardless if one is familiar with "digital art copyright" or not.
