POSTER: Shan

So, as hopefully everyone now knows, I'm an art student. And let me tell you, the one thing that any REAL artist can not stand at all, is art theft! Now, understanding that anyone with half an ounce of integrity or talent hates art theft because you take someone elses sweat and blood and claim it as your own, guess what some stupid little bitch-tard did in my art class, that's right, art theft! And not anything small either, no, this girl did it BIG! Well, if you're gonna do something, you might as well do it so you make an impression. I guess I'm starting in the wrong place though, let me explain how we can to learn that this idiot, Hello-Kitty-Girl, plagiarized a well known artist.

F.Y.I. I call her "Hello-Kitty-Girl" because IDK her real name, and she always wears hello kitty stuff, like, lots of it....LOTS and LOTS of it!!! But, aside from her horrible fashion sense, and the fact that a grown woman in her twenties wears T-shirts, jeans, sneakers, and a necklace all covered in an idol from a children's show ((and thats not to mention the backpack, don't get me started on the backpack)), she's an idiot. So, in my art 107 class, which is a 2D design class based on the use of ink and paint, we were given a project to CREATE a design which appears flat and lacking of any dimensionality, make a copy of OUR OWN design, and then flesh out the copy so that the flat design then has the illusion of depth and dimensionality. Mine was inspired by 1930s jazz posters and is reminiscent of several well known New Orleans artists, however, mine isn't a copy of any of their work, it was simply inspired by. Everyone has influences in their art, so much has been done in the history of the world, that it's hard if not impossible to make something completely original and never seen before. But what she did was not "inspired" by the work of another artist, it was the work of another artist.

Has anyone seen "Totoro"? I hope so, because it's a good anime movie. Well, anyone that has seen it knows the scene where totoro is standing on a tree with that little mini rabbit thing next to him, and they both have leaves on their heads and it's raining. Well, we were presenting our projects this morning in class, and Hello-Kitty-Girl goes up to present "her" design. Well, she holds up a picture that's the lineart for that scene in the movie, as she says "This is MY design..." the guy sitting next to me, who realized the same time I did what movie the art was from pipes up ((probably without thought)) "Dude! That's fuckin' Totoro! I just saw that movie for the first time last night! That was.....fuckin.......you.......you drew that?" It was funny to watch his face go from "I love that movie" to "You art thief" in a matter of seconds. Well, needless to say, because it's a fairly popular movie, a lot of people in the class had seen it, so We're all just staring at Hello-Kitty-Girl. The teacher, not having seen the movie, asks what Totoro is, and once we explain its a movie, she turns to Hello-Kitty-Girl, smiles, and asks her to continue....in the most condescending tone I have ever heard come from a human mouth. So, Hello-Kitty-Girl, goes on to finish her presentation, trying to make it clear that it was her design, she also mentions how she had another design, but liked that one best.......idiot.

I think the best part was when the teacher asked to see Hello-Kitty-Girl after class.

See, it's bad enough to copy someone else's art, and FYI, even if you re-draw the pic, if you haven't changed anything, it's still art theft, but it's just dumb to steal the art of a well known artist and re-draw something that thousands of people know about. See, here's my theory, art theft should be punished in worse ways than simply being expelled from college and ridiculed by your peers. The torture should start by stringing the art thief up by their thumbs. Hang them from the ceiling with meat hooks in their back maybe. And from there, carve into their flesh the piece of art which they claimed as their own. Yea, that would work. Then parade them around naked so all can know what horrible crime the committed. I'm telling you, art theft is one of the cardinal sins in my book.
