Hey y’all, I keep finding myself having my work reposted by larger gimmick accounts without attribution and wanted to put a reminder out there that all of these pieces are my original work. It’s mostly just a minor nuisance rather than serious infringement but it is getting a little tiresome

If you see them reposted don’t harass the original posters but do politely let me know so I can send a takedown notice or something (mainly big meme accounts, I don’t care much if it’s someone with like ten followers)

Art is my only source of income as I am disabled and currently do not have access to accessible and sustainable employment+not eligible for SSI, so having my work attributed correctly to me is a huge help to building an art career thats more livable for me

I plan to offer prints and maybe start a Patreon on the future so people have more tangible means of supporting me, but until then getting the word out there that this is my work would be really cool since these images have gone so viral. (I have a kofi tip jar as well, but don’t feel obligated!)

In case someone gets on my case for having not signed my work, all three of these are very early pieces of mine and I didn’t really expect them to get so much attention and by the time they took off it was a bit too late to put the genie back in the bottle lmao. Very hindsight is 20/20 sort of thing… that and I’ve had a couple instances of my signatures getting cropped or edited out anyway 🤷‍♂️
