Saw Jonathan Coulton live tonight. Great, great show. Paul and Storm were an amazing opening act. If you can, drop by their site and drop a couple bucks. The got pinched for some cash at the border.

Anyway, this was a nice treat - the song from Portal 2 live!

Please reblog if you care about protecting artists’ work from talentless thieves.

So on Tuesday I rage spiraled into space for a while when I was told that Todd Goldman was ripping off my designs AGAIN.

I know my designs are simple and play on ideas we all understand but the fact is Goldman offered me a job in 2006. He said he loved my Threadless shirts, that he bought a Lil Soap shirt and wanted me to work for him. I told him I would think about it and we never spoke again. A few months later I get links from people to David and Goliath tees, the company he owns and he is selling rip offs of my designs.

So Threadless got their lawyers involved and sent him a cease and desist and eventually, (probably because he was also being sued by ANOTHER artist at the time: http://tinyurl.com/5ubyu7o ) he took them down. Now he is selling them again, as you can see in the above image.

Then as always, whenever I talk about my shirts being ripped off I get emails telling me about more rip offs. This time an Etsy user, Tyneshia Buie who straight up TRACED the design.

I’ve had my shirts ripped off A LOT, Forever 21, Hot Topic, Wet Seal, and every time it gives me insane stomach ulcers and I have to track down the thieving “designers” and send Cease and Desist messages and contact Threadless and lawyers. It’s called protecting your copyright and it’s AWFUL HARD.

At any rate, this Etsy seller was selling the most blatant straight up TRACE of my art work I have ever seen. I got some help from some nice twitter people and the design was removed from the site, but not the seller. As you can see in the image above she isn’t oblivious or ashamed, she knew what she was doing.

The point is that art theivery is fucking bullshit. No one should buy from this girl again, or Todd Goldman/David and Goliath but they do! I’m sure that Etsy user will continue to steal and D+G has merchandise in every major crap store in the world. Help me spread the word that these people are VILLAINS and not in a cool way.

As for me, I am sending Cease and Desist messages and contacting lawyers and bathing in a see of stomach acid as I rage spiral into space.

This is awful. Tyneshia Buie, the girl behind the rip off etsy shop, is GLOATING about profiting from stealing Jess Fink’s design. Just fucking appalling. I hope we can flood Google with Tyneshia Buie’s name being associated with her design theft. Tyneshia Buie steals other artists designs, gloats about it, and profits from people who actually put work into creating something original. Tyneshia Buie should be fucking ashamed.

Oh yeah, and Todd Goldman too, but he already has such a loooooong detailed, documented history of ripping off other cartoonists that it’s probably not even worth the effort.

Tyneshia Buie is a fucking thief.

Finally, got back from PAX East (hence the blog dump) and took an hour to colour one of the LOLbat coloring book pages that scott put up on his website. Had fun, went for a Batman: The Animated Series look.
