I one had someone claim a Rita Ora portrait I did was mine when I first started out and she RT'd it it got like 40K likes/shares and there was no way to prove it was mine.

Also people steal designs for merchandise (clothes, prints etc), always happens to artists so you have to be careful.

Time and hard work go into these so it's not fair when others get credit.

What do you want to achieve apart from likes?

I'm a self-employed artist so recognition, a wider audience and a good following which in turn leads to more and more commissions.

I'm non-stop as it is working and selling world wide but I'd like more.
