One of my watchers here on dA suggested I take a look at pandafurlife's gallery. Probably all images are stolen. And the thief is actually selling it as prints! dA if you don't react on this one I really don't know what will make you react... :no: Some examples of stolen images:

This is really hilarious what this thief wrote in the artist's comment: "A picture of a dock taken during a getaway trip." :rofl: This is Vista Dock Wallpaper! :rofl:

And this one is stolen from one of dA's members:

The comment of J-Works says enough: "This is the cover art from Maroon 5: Hands All Over. It was done by Rosie Hardy and since you have yourself listed as a male on your profile, I'm guessing that's not you. DA isn't a place to just dump pictures you like and you are in violation of community rules. Please remove this post."

Okay, this picture appears on dA as often as that Pikachu kitten! =P

Found in gallery of styleme89. I suppose most if not all pictures are stolen. I don't know who are the artists who made the images, maybe you can even recognize your work... :shrug: I can only say for certain that this is work by photographer Andrew Lucas:

Just now I came across this page on Facebook called "Fresh Your Mind" - www.facebook.com/freshyourmind posting a bunch of photos from dA without crediting anyone. One person said she wrote names of the authors under some of the photos but it seems that the owner of the page deleted it! Claiming the artwork as their own then...?

In any case, if you see your work and you're on Facebook - I suggest you report the page!

Just to warn you if you came across a deviant called SohaMenassa. It's a fake profile with photos by other artists. For example:
Alternative Fashion by SohaMenassa Original: Pearl by Ophelia-Overdose by Ophelia-Overdose
Confused by SohaMenassa Original: roses fairy tales by xHIMSOULSx by xHIMSOULSx

I reported it, I think the artist did the same. It's sad dA is still not reacting... :no:
