ART THEFT
Someone is selling my art at conventions. I am waiting for a reply to find out what con and what artist it was but if your see anyone selling my art take a picture of their booth and of their artist name. I’m so sick of this…

I saw nothing remotely resembling your artwork at GenCon in Indianapolis this weekend so there’s that, at least.

Yeah the last Con I went to we asked about the art at most of the booths…there was indeed one who was selling art from multiple artist online (buttons, granted they spent the time and money to put them together but still) so I asked and the one woman actually said “well we did all the work?? So who cares?” The guy who was running the booth heard and looked over at her appalled as we walked off. When we circled back to the booth he flagged us down (the girl was gone) and said he could show us where he’d commissioned the pieces to use as his buttons. So that was nice, but yeah if you find a place with a lot of differently styled art go ahead and ask about it. Shut this kind of thing down.

Just a reminder, from someone who runs conventions:

If you see something, you say something!  This goes for any kind of shady behavior in general during and event, but convention staff are generally really nice and are really concerned about stopping any kind of bad behavior during their event.

After a convention, most staffers are kind of dead to the world for a bit, so getting answers after the fact can be a challenge at times.  But if you can provide proof – or in an exhibit/artist/dealer hall – provide tangible proof of an ownership issue (like a fanartist’s page and their re-posting/use limitations) or a bootlegged item, they will deal with it immediately, either by getting the vendor to remove the item or items in issue from the floor or by banning them, depending upon their own rules and judgement.  

Most of those staffers also staff other conventions and convention runners, especially those with longer running events, do talk.  Most of the vendors in an area also tend to be a tight knit bunch who will very gladly point out to convention management when they have someone with a seedy record on their hands (if they didn’t know about it beforehand).

Please, keep looking. Not for a person, but for your passion, your love, your courage, your goals, your dreams, your happiness, yourself. Keep looking. Explore yourself before you explore another. Know your worth, know yourself. Only then will you know what you need over what you want. You need yourself to become your own.
