#it’s another to enter it into a fcking competition and win money from it

[sleepy-bebby]

Art thief Jeff Dieschburg plagiarised the work of Jingna Zhang and presented it as his own version of Turandot. Even winning prize money for it.

When confronted, he claimed he was “inspired” by her work even though it’s obviously just her work but flipped and recoloured.

In other news, Jingna is not the only artist he has chosen to steal from.

Here is his lovely responses when questioned. “I don’t understand why you have to make such a scene”, “I didn’t represent this woman from Japan (or wherever she is from)”. Smells like white bullshit.

And here is a snippet of a message he sent to Jingna trying to cover his ass after she found out about his plagiarism. Btw the person he “stumbled upon” is another plagiariser, birds of a feather something something.
