Finally Gloomth is Ripped Off By Shein! Yay!

Luckily the people behind this publication know what they are doing and emailled me to ask about it. The photo they sent was exactly the same as mine, even down to the colours used.

What a fucking cheek!

Now I don't have a problem with people copying my designs (as long as they credit me if they are selling them) but when it comes to trying to pass it off as their unique design, that makes me fucking mad.
