It has recently come to my attention that people have been stealing my art and making possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars off of it.
As an artist who is currently unemployed for mental health reasons (and is not receiving government assistance), this is really messing with me. I made $0 off of that artwork, and i didn't bother to make stickers myself because any time i make stickers, i end up just spending a bunch of money, and nobody buys them. Of course, this is your standard artist's issue, but seeing that tens of thousands of people have bought my art from people who just stole it HURTS me DEEPLY.
For reference, below is my original art
It's essentialy like if someone came into my home when i wasn't there and stole a bunch of valuables and then sold them. I am a bit at a loss for words
There is a 0% chance I will ever see any of that money, but if you want to help PLEASE SHARE THIS POST and you can check out my socials and interact with the tiktok i made on this topic.
in addition to selling my art on redbubble and inprt, I'm also working on slowly adding the designs I current have on those over to teepublic as yet another option for you, besties, so keep your peepers peeled <3

FUCK RED BUBBLE, FUCK TEE PUBLIC. You might think that they won't steal your art because you don't have a lot of followers, think again. I had 6 followers on my pinterest, where i posted this art i made, and they still managed to steal my art, and they are actively selling it.
We need to seriously start making a big stink about this, more than we have before. The fact that companies like this are still able to thrive is a crime to all artists. And, if you buy from Red Bubble, tee public, or any other company like that, you should be ashamed of yourself. Instead, what you should be doing is msging the artist and asking them if they sell prints or image files, and if they don't, at least you let them know so that they can start making prints!
I am so done with the world -.- I'm unemployed due to personal reasons and i could have used that money.
