'Daddy, where did your tattoo come from?' 'I don't know, honey, but it might have been deviantART.'
In the LJ community </a></b></a>[info]bad_tattoos_2, </a></b></a>[info]glennoar posts a bunch of, well, bad tattoos.

The problem arises with the last one, a large leg piece of a wolf, which she breezily claims was copied from a sketch of hers on deviantART.

Arise the naysayers! Cue seventy-some-odd comments of 'OMG EGO MUCH' and glennoar's defense to the death of her claim! (Included is your friend and mine, </a></b></a>thebitingfaery!)

Includes Photoshop overlays, one to disprove, one to prove (with red lines!), glennoar's personal attack on </a></b></a>[info]shauncey's art--twice--and a general descent into name-calling and insults on all sides!

Mmm, just before I head to bed. I think I'll go with she's an egotistic moron and that's not her art.

My reaction would be to ask if she based said sketch on a photo. If so, she loses extra-muchly.

She posted about this back on the art_theft comm, and she claims to not have used a photo. Interestingly, when she got the exact same reaction over there, she went "No offense taken." and let it go without wanking.

No, you see, making her fairy look like "trailer trash" is a response against how often fairies are identified with the Euro-centric and Classist clothing of old aristocracy. Fairies were a folk-tale of the people, and we intend to TAKE IT BACK!!1 The "badly-drawn" nature of it is a response to the meaning of "good art" foisted onto the masses by the bourgeoisie. We don't got no fancy book-learnin' to make no "good art." OMG STOP OPPRESSING ME!!

I like how she so definitively proves the drawings are the same by tracing a few lines that happen to match up.  Nevermind the fact that the ears, eyes, nose, legs, general shape and tilt of the face and the length of the body is completely off.

"You're stupid"

"No YOU'RE stupid"

"Your art sucks"

"No YOUR art sucks"

etc.

Of course I'm probably giving them too much credit in that I'm using "your" and "you're" correctly.

The post before that one is weird too. Someone's self portrait has been taken without her consent and tattooed on a total stranger...

The tattoo artist claims that s/he copied it off a Snuff box. I'm too lazy to Google it though.

Someone got a tattoo of my work on their arm once.

The thing is, it was my JAPANESE TRANSLATION work - I don't even remember what it was supposed to say anymore, but I warned him that while I'd do my best, I didn't even have my AA in Japanese yet.

Also, the guy was an online friend of mine, and so for all he knew I put together a string of random kanji and hiragana, or gave him the translation for "I'm a poser!" instead.

He sent me a pic of the finished tattoo . . . I so wish I'd saved it.

glennoar says that tattoo artist admitted referencing to her work...So she was right (unless she's lying about the artist) and was whining and everyone called her crazy but she wasn't.

Oh, NO!

I thought this whole stupid thing was wrapped up on art_theft! Didn't the 10 comments of "this doesn't look like a rip" do ANYTHING to clue her in?
