Reblogging to help boost the signal about this rip-off artist.
EVEN MORE STOLEN IMAGES, PLEASE RE-BLOG
Please look at these images. This “stall” belongs to a Dealer who exhibited at London Expo this weekend.
Images look familiar? They should. They’re all STOLEN.
This guy claims to be the “genius” behind these works of art. Truth is, the majority, if not ALL of them, have been swiped from deviantART, printed on canvas and sold WITHOUT PERMISSION.
This guy is a fraud, a plagiarist, a thief and liar. Why is he even allowed to exhibit at London Expo.
We all need to gather proof that this guy isn’t all he claims to be. If you recognise ANY of these images. PLEASE SHARE OR COMMENT BELOW. A lot of these works are by American artists. We need to inform them and put a stop to this.
Please, please share and let a team of us put this right. We need to gather a lot of solid evidence to get this guy thrown out.
He didn’t have any business cards (no surprises there) but he’s exhibited and sold at London Expo many, many times.
I intend to write a deviantART journal about this and spread the word myself. It would help greatly if you could share your photos here too and we can pool all our evidence in one place and compare photos.
BY THE WAY, THE GUY IN THE FOURTH PHOTO IS THE MAIN STALL-HOLDER, I BELIEVE, HE WAS PUTTING ALL THE CANVASES OUT ON DISPLAY.
Thank you all for reading.
FUCKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING ART THIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
THERE IS A FUCKING SPECIAL PLACE FOR YOU IN HELL
I’ve heard of this guy. Apparently he’s stolen my works as well. I’ve heard at cons he’ll tell everyone that he has “full permission from the artists” to reprint our work and sell it, which is straight-up BULLSHIT.
getting this out there. Dear artists on the internet, don’t give a FUCK about kids reposting your art, tracing it, or blatantly ripping off your ideas, they ain’t making a dime from it. Mofos like THIS GUY are who you should put your heart and soul into griping, e-mailing, and posting about.
THIS is what an art theft looks like.
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Police are looking for a 10-year-old boy from the Bronx who they say has been missing for almost two days.
Police say 10-year-old Latrell Hall was last seen on Macombs Avenue as he left for school around 8:30 a.m. Monday and hasn’t been home since.
Hall is 4’5″ weighing about 60 pounds with brown eyes, black hair and a slim build. He was last seen wearing a gold ball earring in his right ear.
Anyone with information on where Hall might be should call police or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.

Like I mentioned before, if this were a young white girl there would be two million notes already. REBLOG THIS! He is our child.
ugh, because of needless “reblog or don’t care” shaming, I feel like I gotta say: yea truth, but I don’t reblog a lot of this “tumblr can help find people” business because 1: It’s usually not local to me or the bulk of my followers who I know, and 2: I don’t really think these things help unless it’s someone from an online community.
Anyway that’s not important, this isn’t a podium; a kid from the Bronx is missing, he could be anywhere, true, but I’d estimate that wherever he’s been taken is pretty close to where a bunch of ya’ll live.
