Okay. I'm going to have a rant rn. Look away if it offends you. I am an artist. I create works. I like to be acknowledge for my works. As does every other artist. I am sick and fucking tired of artists not being credited in their work. It takes two seconds to acknowledge the artist. Two seconds. Put them in the source if you have a funny title you don't want to ruin. If you
don't know the artist try a reverse Google image search. If you still can't find them acknowledge that the art isn't yours (which you did this post? I know) and maybe ask if anyone does know who did it. I am guilty of not sourcing sometimes, I'll admit that. But I try. Which is what I'm asking all of you to do, please.
Celticrose I get that? But like I said acknowledge it's not yours and maybe ask if anyone else knows the artist. Just to make sure there's credit where credits due
Or just assume its not the posters unless they claim it. 90% or more of tge posts on here could fall in the catagory of unclaimed or borrowed work. Even memes. Its a little ludicrous to expect everyone to site a source. If someone wants to learn who an artist is, by all means, they can do a google back search but this is supposed to be a site for fun and entertainment, not a report.
I do see your point when it comes to people claiming others work, but its simply not realust to expect people to do research on every image they post.
Captain sparrow if you want to rant that's fine but also since the poster did not credit the artist and you know how easy it is to google image search it, Why didn't you also do that after everything said?
I knew the artist from sight. I'm very familiar with his works. What I'm saying is I shouldn't have to, I think it should be the posters responsibility. Also there is a difference between artworks like in this post, and memes. But anyway like I said I just wanted to rant, you don't have to agree with me.
But if you as an artist truly feel for this artist I think you should have atleast told fatpenguin who it is because you want artist to be acknowledged which is the whole reason for your rant. I'm not saying you rant was wrong just a flaw in your logic.
I see where you're coming from. But someone else had also already stated the artist in the comments before me. Repeating it seemed a bit redundant. But anyway, THE ARTIST IS ANDY GOLDSWORTHY
