Updates: SOMEONE HAS STOLEN MY STUFF ON INSTAGRAM

by Stelluna

Stelluna Someone took my art and posted it as their own on Instagram.
Updates Why Me?
WARNING: THE NEXT FEW PARAGRAPHS CONTAIN MILD LANGUAGE (Like any of you care)
I was informed this morning by @Liv the trainer that a piece of my artwork, Stelluna, had been stolen and posted on Instagram. I AM OUT-RAGED. Who the hell do they think they are!? Stealing someone's stuff with out permission!? If they can't draw, then maybe they shouldn't, let alone steal SOMEONEELSE'S. They could've at least ASKED. I take TIME to draw these things and I'll be damned if I'm going to have them snatched away from me.

ISN'T THIS WHAT A SIGNITURE IS FOR!?! The bad part is all of my work doesn't have my signature on it because I didn't have my signature at the time of my older work. I have thought about LEAVING Pokecharms all together and not posting anymore. If wanted to be discovered on the internet, It wouldn't be as "that girl everyone steals their posts from". I've narrowed it down to 3 options:

1. Leave Pokechams and stop posting.
2. Add a watermark to my work.
3. Have people credit ME and only me (unless it's a collab) for the artwork

Post what you guys think down in the comments section below.
PS Link this page on other pages. I don't care if It's DeviantArt, I don't care if It's someone's profile page. LINK IT!!! #Don'tStealPeople'sStuff

    Guys, enough. Art theft is absolutely awful, but I'm not having 'Charms used as a staging area for a witch hunt. Please use the resources available at wherever you find your works to get this sorted. Thanks :)

    Great idea! I'll just repost with my signature on all of my previous! But that won't fixed the already stolen ones...
