It seems the only time I write journals is to moan, but hey ho,  I've found another art thief. Link to his profile: http://navkies.deviantart.com/ Link to the work in question: http://navkies.deviantart.com/art/Pirateship-418025554 What concerns me most is that he's described his upload as a T-shirt Design, slightly unfair (and illegal) to make profit off other peoples work. This is just a heads up for anyone, be aware. I believe other work in his gallery is stolen as well. You can always tell.

For the last half hour I've been going through all of my (recent) uploads and unclicking 'available for download', watermarking and plastering 'DO NOT USE' all over the description. Why now? It seems that I have recently discovered the joys of Instagram, and it's users' art-thieving ways. I know a lot of people think artists who over-react to people stealing work are stupid, and we should take it as some form of flattery. Unfortunately, I don't see someone stealing my well-earned credit and potential customers as flattery. A nice comment is flattering, and I appreciate every one. But copying my work without even a credit link? Please jump off
