Usually I don't pay much attention to people who just display my art with watermark intact. But they seriously cross a line when they remove watermark and MAKE MONEY WITH MY ART!
This soab portuguese.alibaba.com/product… is selling canvas prints of my art and a lot of other artists from dA on alibaba.com. The page is in Portuguese so I can't seem to go very far with it. I tried to report Intellectual Property but they ask for an IPR number which I don't seem to have. Anybody got any clues about that? I have reported all the other artists I could recognize. Please spread the word and give a heads up to other artists as well.
This is their website www.shunzhang.com.cn/
All help is appreciated.
Update:
I somehow managed to send them a message after signing up on alibaba's Portuguese portal. Got a reply today:
"Dear Renu Shama, This is shin from Shunzhang Arts & Crafts,
I do sincerely apologize to you on behalf of our company, We have deleted these pictures immediately after checked with our picture worker today. It is a big mistake on our work, we wil enhance the design control from now on. Welcome scrutiny.
Apologize again & with all my best wishes.
Any advise, please contact me anytime.
Shin"
It absolutely makes no sense that they weren't aware of it. Anyway, they haven't taken it down yet. I have send them a reply to this and am waiting for them to take it down.
In addition, I found a few links that will be helpful to report them:
Here's the page in English on which they are selling my work:
www.alibaba.com/product-gs/673…
There is a report suspicious activity link towards right. Please report it to alibaba there.
Here's the list of other stolen art:
www.alibaba.com/products/F0/Mi…
Please go through it and report all the artworks that you can recognize.
Let's take this thief down together!
Update:
They finally took down my art from their website and alibaba. Thank god this got resolved. To all the other artists whom I informed, please go ahead and check if your art has been taken down too. I asked them to make sure they took down everything that was stolen and not just my art. Hope they've done that.
Thank you so so soooo much everyone for all your help!

Artwork rip-off?
I usually don't care about these things. Especially create something similar to my work without any credit, people copying my paintings, people posting my work without permission, people posting it on their blog with poetry or whatever. After about a decade of making art, you eventually get tired of pointing things out.
But then there are these straight-up rip-offs that I can't ignore.
Mine:
Rip-off:
It's especially sad when a person has skills but doesn't want to come up with their own original ideas and thinks it's OK to blatantly copy someone else's work then hope no one notices.
Calling out for mentees
Hey all!
So I've got some time on my hands and thought I could mentor a few people in both photo-manipulation art and drawing/watercolor painting. I will be creating a Facebook group for it as I am not too active on dA anymore. So you must have a Facebook account. If any of you are interested, please let me know. I will only be taking a few mentees at the moment.
Additionally, if you have any requests for a tutorial, let me know.
Oh and a quick question, I just realized, no DDs at the bottom. Is that the new dA thing? No DD thumbnails on all pages?
Hope all my dA friends are doing well.
:peace:
Falling in love again
Hello everyone! It has been a while since I updated my journal here. I haven't been a lot active on dA lately. I have just been uploading art on and off and disappearing. Those of you who follow me on facebook mostly know what I've been up to. For those who don't this is what has been going on.
I have lately been falling in love with art again and rediscovering it. After a while on dA, I started to realize that this was becoming more of a popularity contest. Getting less to hardy any faves started to become upsetting. And because I usually tried to create from my heart and what was not hot and popular at the time, it got a bit more upsetting
