Красный дуб забыл сбросить листья. Выращен из желудя привезенного из Москвы 😉. . Для обычных людей -красивое дерево, для ученых - страшный враг и оккупант. . У меня он на собственном участке, на котором растет много разного. Пока никому не мешает, будет мешать - возьмем пилу и будем воспитывать. . #дуб #дубкрасный #дубы #деревья #деревьязимой #дубовыелистья #растения #зима2020 #вдохновениерядом #biserokru #деревьяоккупанты #сорныедеревья #three #quercus #quercusrubra https://www.instagram.com/p/CIWFCpEJiJM/?igshid=d0dwhvzipylj

Inspired by or stealing?

‪Update: All the posts mentioned here have now been removed (February 24th)

Before I get into this I ask that if you reblog this, please go back to the original post to do so in case I need to update this post at a later time. ‬I will also put this in my Instagram stories and archive them.

This is something I had hoped I wouldn’t have to post. But apparently giving people the benefit of doubt and a chance(or many) to do the right thing, means they’ll ignore it/you and just continue in the same manner.

Long story short, back in January I accidentally came across someone who seems to have systematically taken art they like, copied/traced it and passed it off as their own on Instagram. Like I told them, imagine my surprise when Instagrams top suggestion for me was what I believe is a traced drawing of mine. They’ve grown a fairy large following and gotten numerous likes under false pretense, all off of the work of other artists. The drawing I personally believe is copied from mine had over 3k likes before they turned off showing # of likes. Another post featuring a copy of a bamf-castiel sketch was liked by Misha Collins.

I didn’t want to share this without showing everything we have gathered about this. These are just the posts where we’ve been able to find the original art. There’s a good chance there’s more, but I can’t comment on other posts than these. A friend of mine actually found one more original art just before posting this, but we haven’t been able to confirm the original artist as of yet.

I wasn’t going to make a public post about this because frankly this whole situation makes me extremely uncomfortable. They claim they’ve done nothing wrong, but did delete some posts after I contacted the original artists I could get a hold of, who I assume contacted them directly to have it taken down. They also stopped posting new content which made me reluctant to take this public. However they’ve now made a new post that’s clearly traced as well (Loiseautattoo) and I can’t in good conscience keep quiet anymore.

Before they stopped answering my dm’s they told me this was all a misunderstanding and that they always credited which clearly is a lie. They also told me that I should tell them who to credit, to which I replied I’d assume they knew better than me who’s art they’d copied. I want to point out that a lot of these pieces have the name of the artist in the image itself so there’s simply no excuse. At this point it’s way past the point of missing crediting, this is stealing. Stealing someone’s art, ideas and lines, claiming it as their own and it makes me feel sad and disappointed.

I’m not making this post so people can go after them. Please don’t do that.

My goal is simply letting people know of the situation at hand so they can make an informed decision about whether or not they want to continue to like their posts and follow this person.

The images shows the original art first, middle shows original art overlaid their post with opacity lowered and the last is their post.

The reason I’m making this likely too long post is that I want to educate people. Too many don’t care about crediting or supporting artists. Doing what this person does is not ok! You might get away with it when you don’t have many followers and a low number of likes. But if your account grows, more people will see and the likelihood of being called out grows exponentially. Tracing or copying another artists work does not fall under ‘taking inspiration from’ and saying ’credit to the artist/owner’ is not giving credit. You will be hard pressed to find an artist who hasn’t traced something at some point in their life, and tracing can be a great tool to improve your skills. But even if you’re super proud of the end result, it’s not ok to post it on social media, claiming it as your own by not stating specifically that this is traced and who or where the original is from.

If you enjoy looking at art and fan art I ask you to keep your eyes open. If you come across someone who post new art multiple times a day, or you notice they have very inconsistent styles in different drawings there’s a good chance that the owner of the account is not the owner of the content they post. If you find yourself suspicious, please do some digging, don’t accuse or call out anyone unless you are sure. And if you find these words hitting a bit too close to home; do better! Don’t steal from fellow artists! It makes me especially angry to see someone piggyback off of years of fanart stolen from within the community because we’re a small community and I admire every single person that have put the time and effort into making art that they’ve shared with the fandom over the years. And that is why I’m making this post even if don’t want to and it makes me highly uncomfortable to do so.

I owe you all trees from last autumn. Life happened but spring is near and so I'm making an effort to post trees again here. 😉 Here's some beautiful March sky with some 60+ year old Northern Red Oaks (Quercus rubra) reaching up to touch it. . . . . . . . #treesofinstagram #treesofig #treesofmassachusetts #treesofthenortheast #treesofnewengland #northernredoak #quercus #rubra #quercusrubra #nativetrees https://www.instagram.com/p/B9lI7XphADY/?igshid=uy20mzbodwmz
