PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT / PSA
This is a warning regarding @05sw (@/brofrot on Twitter).
I don't usually make these types of posts but i have to at least try to bring attention to this since they used to be my mutual.
They are an art thief who traced work belonging to original artist @/samfemnn and passed it off as their own on twitter without apology.
All the information is here:
On a personal note, we were mutuals for a while. I noticed they had unfollowed me while leaving me following them.
I gave them the benefit of the doubt for a couple of days and reached out to see if it was an accident. I was completely ignored while they continued to post, so I chose to block them.
About a week later, I saw the original artist's call-out post regarding the tracing. I publicly quoted it to bring awareness to the situation.
Immediately after pointing out the art theft, they blocked me. Blocking someone instead of addressing clear plagiarism strongly points to accountability avoidance.
I highly recommend avoiding interaction with this account to protect other artists in the community
