Well congratulations on finding out that you're art work was of quality and was recognized unfortunately it was recognized by someone of unsavory character.

Dont worry artistic career paths are harder than any other to pursue but you get to do what you love and it usually works out for the better

That's a compliment!

Why art majors are inferior(assuming that you are an art major). It is really hard to make consistent income...

it's ok. I'm an unknown artist as well. art thieves are the worst though. don't let them get away with it!

Everything has value yours just had a lot

I'm a writer, and the first time someone plagiarizes your work, I think it's normal to be at least a little happy about it. After that, you just get annoyed and angry.

Original Poster here. I made an account a long time ago and used this bad occurrence as a last ditch effort to get an FML up. I gave up on my account and posted anonymously, so, here I am. Yes, some fool stole my art and posted it to their site claiming it as their own. I got a bit excited that someone liked my art enough to do SOMETHING with it, but then a few minutes later, the logic set in. It's down now, thankfully.
