I'm a graphic designer who works freelance and online. I make my living creating graphics for businesses and for printing on t-shirts and merchandise. My designs = my income.
Another recent design I created turned out to be a popular graphic, I placed MY design online for sale on merchandise, and then I promoted MY design through Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and though other advertising. A few days later the VERY SAME graphic -- MY graphic, was for sale on ebay by a user called comicalshirt. www.ebay.com/usr/comicalshirt
I immediately contacted them and asked nicely for a removal of the design, as I was trying to earn money from MY WORK, and I did not give permission for them to also reap my income. They ignored me. I contacted them through other means, Facebook, Twitter, email, Ebay, phone and they ignored ALL of my attempts to stop them from using my work.
Then went through the other designs they were selling to make sure they didn't have any more of my work for sale and I noted that most of the designs they were selling were ripped off. I knew some of the other designers so sent them the links. I also noted that some of the designs were stolen from well known sources. So clearly these people have no shame about stealing others hard work. They place it for sale and just collect all the benefit of other's work for themselves.
From what I witnessed: They obviously have ABSOLUTELY NO design abilities and think it's not going to come back and bite them hard to sell things that do not belong to them. I want them to know that they've just messed with the wrong person.
I work very hard for my income, and I'm a single parent, so I don't need to lose income to these idiots. Yet, for right now my most recent work is still being sold on their ebay account and on their websites. Ebay is currently dragging their feet in taking my work down because these douchbags have made ebay a lot of money with STOLEN designs. It is my mission to get their ebay account suspended.
I'd like to make something VERY VIVIDLY CLEAR TO COMICALSHIRT: I WILL NOT BACK DOWN and I will make sure every designer that I know is informed that you're selling their work for profit for yourselves. I will make sure every customer knows they're getting stolen artwork. I will make sure to leave this information online in all reviews, because that is my RIGHT as the designer of the stolen work that YOU are selling and taking the income for.
