Hello my dear Steemians and Art Fans,

 

 

I actually was not planning to post today but one of the use mentioned @art-venture and asked to view his post so I did and was very frustrated to see that the user without even thinking has pointed to his posts that are made of stolen images.

So let’s start…

The user presented his introduction post:

 

 

This user of course used WOX community and called for @art-venture:

 

 

This is the painting and of course:

• That is beautiful watercolor
• Made in Korean watercolor style, which required certain skills, in order to do it, the person should have some experience.
• Also we can see the signature, which is very important.

 

After quick search:

 

The real Author of the painting is Samantha Anderson Artist, that is her facebook with her photo as logo and his description:

 

 

 

Case 2: Photography deception:

 

We decided to check his other post to make sure if he might have done only one mistake but no, his other post was also Plagiarism:

That is his post:

 

 

That is such high quality photography, the person should be professional photographer.

 

After quick search:

That is his post:

 

 

This is the real author of the photography:

 

 

 

Case5: My favorite Photogrpahy:

Seeing that almost every single posts is plagiarized in our opinion the user had given enough reasons to exclude him from our Community. We also would like to notify @steemcurator01, to support our anti-Plagiarism campaing

 

If you like what we do, please support our Initiative, it takes a lot of time and research to collect the evidence and we are working hard on keeping Steem blockchain free of Plagiarism and Abuse.
