My Art Used on Other Sites


Sometimes when I am looking for Marilyn Monroe art by other artists to add to my Marilyn Monroe Art Pinterest board, I come across my own art on other people's site.

In these situations, I had no idea that my art was being used. I was not contacted by the site editors to inform me they were using my art. 

On one or two sites, the person who uploaded my art edited the art itself to remove my name from the image, which bothers me a little bit, but they at least put my name in HTML below each piece.

It feels really, really strange hunting around the internet to find photo reference material to draw, or to find other people's art to collect, but to come across my own artwork on someone's site, when I was never told they would be using my art. 

:bulletblue: Here are some examples of my art used on other sites (I also have screen captures in my deviantArt "scrapbook," with thumbnails to these below):

:bulletblack: Someone uploaded my Lily Munster drawing on Comic Vine site

:bulletblack: Someone uploaded some of my Marilyn Monroe artwork on Naldz Graphics site

:bulletblack: Someone uploaded some of my Marilyn Monroe artwork on Creatives Magnet site

:bulletblack: 
Someone uploaded my Marilyn Monroe pencil drawing of Marilyn Monroe as Kay Weston on Fan Pop site

:bulletblack: For about the past year (over 2013, and into 2014) someone is using one of my Marilyn Monroe artworks as her Pinterest profile photo, which you can view here: Pinterest site

That's awful! Especially when they pretend they made the art, wrote the piece or took the picture. :X

I've seen some of mine out there but at least they said it was my art. :hmm:

Still not sure how I feel about it being somewhere I didn't put it, but I guess that's the nature of the internet... once it's out there... it CAN be taken! :shrug: :cheer up hug:
