Edit 2:

Seems comments have been disabled on his page and that comments are slowly disappearing. Lets see what happens next.

Edit:

You can see a full list of those confirmed so far here: [link]

Original Post:

... and it's by a "big un". Surprised which piece it was in the end.

Anyway the guy who does the artwork for excision / subhuman, I'm assuming people know who they are, I don't, has been ripping people. You might well have seen that Jonathan Foerster was ripped in a big way by him:

Anyway my piece from a while ago "The Rings": [link] is in one of them too [link]

Screenshots if he removes it and denies it: [link] [link]

I didn't see anything else I explicitly recognised, but I'm sure there are plenty of people's work in there. Anyway you all know the drill.

The facebook page is: [link]

I was already one of the artists on that list :P

Any idea if there have been any developments while I was away?

I don't understand the purpose of doing something like that! Do people just want attention? Judging from the amount of comments on the wall - I guess it's working (?)

He stole - and ruined your image!!!

But... I don't get it! :confused: Does he want to be hired? Or just have people think he's an amazing artist based on work done by other people?

Narcissism... it ain't a pretty sight!

No idea, although it appears he did get plenty of commissions via this, probably sizeable ones, I am informed the musicians he did artwork for are pretty big up-and-coming producers (dubstep and stuff like that, not my thing so can't vouch for any of that).

What I don't understand is how people think they will get away with it these days, the internet has become such a small place that someone will stumble across the rip and the original piece and spot it, and there are so many willing vigilantes for this sorta thing as well.

Who knows eh?

Cheers for the support Steve!

I've never spotted a rip myself, although a couple were drawn to my attention.

It's too bad it actually worked to the extent that the guy got paying gigs by misrepresenting himself!

Hopefully he has to pull that stuff down - I hope Facebook is good at dealing with situations like this - they'd better be!

Well its down now, not sure if it was him or FB. Just considering the next move. Although I'm off to Italy for a week tomorrow, so it will be others looking after it all.
