Hello Everyone, Here I am crawling out of the shadows to rant about SOMEONE I know.
Yes, it's tea, but it's VALID tea in my opinion.
Starting off short and simple, I cannot BELIEVE someone isn't able to get this through
their craniums and acknowledge THAT IT'S WRONG. But if you go to a convention, and you
go to an artist booth and you make a purchase- ONLY TO RESELL THE ARTWORK AND MAKE
A PROFIT OFF OF IT. YOU'RE WRONG. THAT'S BAD, AND YOU NEED TO SIT THE FUCK DOWN
AND CHILL THE FUCK OUT.
Any person should know that you're stealing from the artist. You're making a profit off of work
that isn't your OWN. That's so low, and it can get you into A HEFTY amount of trouble if the artist
is will to contribute their time into it. Not to mention, it would just genuinely suck for the artist.
Now allow me to explain by what I mean "Making a profit." Making a profit is evidently when you're
MAKING money. So when this person when out and bought a product from this artist and went ahead
and sold it- SHE MADE A PROFIT- because she didn't' sell it for the same price, SHE SOLD IT FOR MORE.
She didn't offer the same deal that this Artist was selling, she actually made it such a stinge it's disgusting.
So with doing that, she got MORE money selling the artwork, than what the artist would have selling it.
If you go out and buy a print, only to resell it to a friend FOR THE SAME PRICE. I don't really see there
being any problem with it. If you go out and buy a print and you GIVE it to a friend for FREE. THERE IS
NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. BUT IF YOU GO OUT AND BUY A PRINT AND SELL IT SO YOU CAN MAKE A LITTLE
MORE CASH. THEN, BITCH, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMMMMEEEDDD.
Again, I can't understand enough how someone so insensitive and downright 'stupid' can actually
do that without realizing it's WRONG. For the girl that i'm talking about- she would HATE if
she found out that someone was taking her own artwork and making a living off of it. So why
can't she apply the same circumstance to what she's doing and just... FOR ONCE THINK!!!!
This all falls into the category of STEALING. If you're a supposed 'contributor' to the art community (Regardless
of what genre it may be in) But you STEAL someone else's artwork, Credit, ETC. You're in the wrong.
Art is such an easy thing to take, ESPECIALLY if you're an unknown artist like myself. I had my shit
taken in the past. Exact Images, Tracings, and Ideas. So as little as I believe this will benefit any of the
soulless jackasses that are doing the wrong thing- I was at least able to get my rant out both on
my other social media and on here too.
OOF- WHICH BY THE WAY YOU SHOULD GO FOLLOW MY NEW INSTAGRAM ART ACCOUNT. WOULD LOVE
SOME MORE SUPPORT ON THEIR IF YOU LIKE THE BULLSHIT I CREATE! But till then, I'll probably see ya
all when I'm actually gonna do commissions when i've hit rock bottom. xDDD
