Attention ALL artists!

You sure have seen this post. It has spread like wildfire over the past few days so I doubt there is any artist out there who hasn’t seen it. But even if you didn’t, you should read on because I’m about to tell you a handy little thing that can help you to protect your art from such assholes as the anon who submitted this bullcrap, as well as art thieves in general.

The magic word is Metadata.

Metadata is like an invisible signature that is embeded into a file. It can contain all kinds of information, like Title, date, keywords for online seach engines, and copyright information. And the best thing is, since this information is “hidden” in the code of your picture, it’s hard to remove it.

There is a nice basic tutorial on how to add Metadata, or “additional file information” to your images in photoshop. It’s really, really easy so check it out!

“Adding Your Contact And Copyright Info To Your Photos With Photoshop” on PhotoshopEssentials.com

I’m not sure if you can do the same with any other art program. If you know how to do this in other programs / can confirm that it works the same way there, please tell me so I can add the information to this post.

Adding the Metadata will not stop idiots from taking and reposting your art. It also won’t make them stop editing out your signature. It WILL however, help you prove that you are the original artist whenever you have to. Always remember my friends. You, the artist, are protected by law. No one has the right to take your intellectual property and hard work and repost, use or edit it without your permission. Ever.

art thief: well how can you prove its yours??

me: /opens metadata

I spread the word as it is important to all artist who ever suffered from art thieving or so.

You guys, metadata is super important, you guys. In an everday and legal sense. People legitimately look at and rely on metadata to know the basic, but important bits of information about a digital product (paintings, photographs, exe files, etc.), ESPECIALLY the source.

Don’t underestimate it!

Encourage kids to pursue the arts. There’s far too many dreams being crushed in young people by others telling them the artistic industries are hard with no money, and to go down a STEM or economic office route instead. Some people aren’t suited to that, and that’s okay. Encourage artistic people to be confident to they can find a way to thrive in the industry they love. Start young, let people be happy making themselves who they want to be.

Hey there! I'm a big fan of your art and I love scrolling through your blog to watch all of them :') I'm not sure if I can but I'd like to ask for a fairy Jungwoo if you have time and if it's okay with you. If not, it's fine ^^ keep on drawing and thank you for your art 🖤

Hello! Thank you so much for your support - it means a lot💙 I thought about drawing Jungwoo, I'm totally mesmerized with his voice so he's in my list of "draw or die" persons XD Guess I'll draw him sooner or later! And the idea of fairy!au for him sounds really great☆
