This is a message from one of my favorite artists, Loish:

so, as some of you may know, my artwork has been illegally printed on a sweater and is being sold in numerous webshops in korea. one of them already removed the item; as of now, i only know of two, but there could be…

Please pass the message on, Loish is one of my favourite artists so it’s heartbreaking to see this happening to her. Art theft is just so wrong & it’s absolutely abhorrent to see it happening on such a huge, commercial scale. Art is not out there to be taken by people to be used for their own purpose. It belongs to the respective artist and we should feel privileged that they are sharing their art with us on the net, not abusing their rights. I really hope someone is able to help her set this right!

Same has happened to a photographer friend of mine
