hi all, don't steal art!

>> stolen stuff (removed)
>> more stolen stuff (also removed)

(April 27 2016) Originally this was a long-ish post denouncing the theft of some of my older drawings, but the point was don't steal art, because stealing art is bad, kind of like Hitler. Also, if you see stolen art, you should let the original artist (and other people) know! I will thank here the person who took the time to send me a note telling me all about this. Thanks again.

As always, have fun drawing and not stealing people's work.

Taken care of it, I've informed the user about their wrongdoing and hopefully brought the message through about copyright violations, artist rights, desires and asking for permission.
Made them take the tweets down as well to prevent possible confusion about the real artist (in case someone is doing a reverse google image search and end up with them, which leads you to missing out on the credit there)

Yet, unfortunately, I think the user doesn't really seem to notice it was art theft, despite what I said. Maybe when they review the conversation later they might.
I'll keep an eye on them though, just in case.
