K’ guys...Serious talk here.

Now...First of all, thanks to all the people who follow me. I do really appreciate the fact that you enjoy my pics and like/reblog them. I really do. (Jesus, I love to read your tags, guys. That gives me inner joy. More silly tags for me,thanks! :D ) This gives to me the right motivation to continue to draw/doodle/create weird comic pages and stuff like that. This is litterally therapeutic for me. I’m an insecure, anxious -OLD!, for F sake..- person with a HUGE inferiority complex and I also lack of self-esteem, so I’m always a bit embarrassed when I have to post something, because I always think my pics are the worst crap in this universe. So, thank you very much, guys. Knowing that people actually appreciate what I do, makes me very happy and slightly less anxious about what I draw and post. Feel always free to come in my page/blog/whatever is called my page on this forsaken site, to give me suggestions or I dunno...Ask me whatever you like...Say hello..Whatever. You’ll always be welcome.

BUT!

As the anxious, bitter, italian lady I am, I have to ask you something, since it’s happened already twice in a row in the past days...Could you just PLEASE to avoid to steal pics and repost them wherever you want without permission? You know..There is a reason if I wrote in my blog -and here I quote myself like the biggest douche in the universe..- “PLEASE, DO NOT REPOST OR USE MY PICS IN ANYWHERE WITHOUT TO ASK FOR MY PERMISSION! ”. Isn’t even so hard to read! Is in my main page right below the silly fancy goldfish icon which is my avatar! COME ON! I don’t want to sound like a complete A-hole, nor I want to foment dramas and stuff like that. I’m too old and lazy for that kind of things. So, just let me tell you something...A piece of my mind, if you wanna call it like that...Probably words in the wind, but hey! Just let me try!

I know you are probably just trying to get attention and I’m honestly flattered (And kinda surprised. My pics?...Seriously? Jeezus, raise your standards kids..) if you use my stuff to try to do so, but this is OBVIOUSLY not the right way to do it.....Besdies the fact that I ALWAYS hide my initials in each pic I do..(It’s L.S. btw..If you see those letters, that’s a my pic.)..And now, thanks to some people who thought to be smarty-smart persons, I’ll be forced to add more stuff or watermarks to each pic...

First of all: You’ll be caught. Sooner or later it will happen. No matter how skillfull an artist is, or in which platform they post their pics. It’s enough to have even a small group of friends or fans who actually know your style and how you draw to have “eyes“ all around you. Y’know..Friends are made for this too. You can only pray that the artist to which you stolen from, is not the kind of artist who sues you. (Yup kids...This can easily happen. I personally know someone who does that.)

And second: That is not and it will never be something made by you. It is pointless. Personally, I don’t know how a person could be proud of something they never did. You can maybe fool the others, but you can’t fool yourself. At the end of the day, you perfectly know you did nothing to be proud of. So..Yay! Congrats for nothing! And do not even try to use the ol’ excuse of “But I can’t draw!“. Of course you can’t if you don’t even try! You think artists learned how to draw in a week? Sorry, it doesn’t works like that. Years of practice and patience, man. That’s what you need to get good.

I litterally spend hours, to draw these simple things you see here in this blog. Sometimes even weeks, or months. I’m trying to get a bit better each day. Pretty sure that whatever other artist does the same. Passion. This is what we have and this is what pushes us to draw. Maybe you wanna try to do the same and be proud of something YOU actually did, rather than just grab something made by someone else, just to being noticed by this or that person...

Accept this suggestion by this bitter, old -now kinda passive-aggressive- italian lady.

Oh, and btw..If you repost with the excuse of “I wanna give more visibility to this artist!“...Nope. DON’T. Freakin REBLOG instead. There’s a motivation if there is an apposite option on this site. Reposting is not different than stealing things. If you really wanna give visibility to someone, just click the reblog button and let to the artist the due credits they deserve, ya jerk!

Now..After all this fancy charade and stuff wrote in a terrible fake-english..Let me give a public -deserved- thanks to this wonderful person called @fairykats.

They litterally came out from the blue and helped me SO MUCH with theft issues in these days. They also -patiently- explained to me -someone who doesn’t even know how to turn a computer on...- some tricks about how to properly use this freakin site. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! You are the best! I am now a grateful bitter,old, italian lady. (You saved my arse twice in a row, man... XD)

Go on their blog, follow them and enjoy their work.

#Art theft #Just a piece of my mind #Learn something good kids..#Look what have you done! You forced me to use a fancy term like foment in there!#And I don't even speak english!#Thanks @fairykats #You are amazing!
