Love it when some piece of shit steals a design I took two weeks drawing and AI-alters the faces to look like shit and then puts it on Etsy

Sold! Er, yours, I mean.

Aaaah you didn't need to do that but thaaaanks x

Reported. I came a while back for the cats that dont live here, stayed to enjoy the Spurs suffering and ordered some wallcharts and mugs along the way. Good luck with the business.

Couldn't report the fake one without signing up for Etsy, but as I am so far without a wall chart for this WC, I've ordered one from you.

Ah Peter that is above and beyond! <3

Purchased. It’s going on the kitchen wall. Wife will hate it. Can’t wait.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay (please say sorry to her on our behalf)

WANKERS. I am so sorry. How absolutely dreadful…

HAD BETTER DAYS x

Being an artist is so hard these days. And people like this are utter scum

Reported. Unfortunately we live in the era of dirty big watermarks on low res images being a necessity now.

Well if its any consolation its prompted me to buy your original. Looking forward to receiving it.

Absolutely despicable but nothing new in this though. Just ask @footballcliches.bsky.social about a certain Tom Burrows . #BurrowsBorrows

What's the best place to order from for shipping to the States?

Argh, I’ve kinda just stopped shipping the wallcharts to the states as I was worried they might now not reach their destination before the big kick off. Everything else on our Etsy shop can still be ordered to the US though x

same for Belgium?

Ergh. Sorry guys. If it’s any consolation my kids (and we) flipping love the ones we bought from you. Each night they spend way too long looking over each face again. Your work is repeatedly loved x RePosting it here too so people know to buy the real one. It’s ace.

I bought one of these for my son because I like the idea that he won't be able tell if it's a present or if he's done something wrong

Thanks just bought one from you , hope other do to 💪

Absolutely fucking demoralising. What's the fucking point putting effort in to anything *ever* when some cunt will just cannibalise it? Kill it, eat it, shit it out and charge for it. Gen-AI has made this kind of shit a piece of piss. FUCK OFF.

So sorry this has happened. I bought 2 from you, one for me and one for my daughter's 21st birthday present. She loves it (as do I). I will buy more from you in the future.

Can you report it to Etsy? Would that be a dead end to nowhere?

So far all the reporting procedure has got me is a new understanding of the word 'labyrinthine'

Was just chatting about plagiarism with my favourite regular and telling him about the time someone stole a line from me (a penis is not a prerequisite for loving sport) that I’m still mad about. People will tell you to take it as a compliment, they are wrong, get real mad about it creatively imo

Well I certainly am mad

The fucking cheek of it all, seriously.

If you fancy reporting the offending listing, you'd be doing us a solid. Love you. x www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4...

Reported ✅

Done!

Done

Reported.

Done. Bastards.

Done

Couldn’t work out how to report them but I did leave them a shitty message.

Reported.

Done. I also linked to your original. I'm tempted to message the seller and ask if it's their own work...

Done 🤞

Reported. I mentioned that they even left No Score Draws on there, so it’s straight out fraud as well as IP theft. Hope this helps getting it removed. Wankers.

Done.

Reported them and also messaged them.

Done This is really rubbish

Reported.

Reported and ordered one of yours so I can put it up at work and delight/disgust my colleagues - was leaning towards buying one anyway but this shitshow confirmed it for me 👍 Fuck AI

Reported for you.

Done. Might be worth pointing out that you need to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page to find the ‘report this item’ link.

Reported, cheeky sods, how dare they?

A little late to the party, but at the party no less! Utter bastards! Hopefully no idiots are buying that garbage and all the real idiots are now flooding to yours 😋

Done what I can. Also there's a bit on intellectual property, I was going to click this initially as the issue, but obviously it is yours, but it is an option to go down

Reported them and took the opportunity to have a proper look at your own online shop and ended up purchasing a couple of mugs. I can't help but feel I've been scammed somehow.

Also reported the thieving clowns. And…bought your one. And…still enjoying the Europa Spurs mugs 😊 Come on England (and COYS obvs…)

Reported. I'm sorry you're having to go through this.

Reported + ordered one of yours

Done and done. And I mean done. I'm sorry this has happened. How rubbish.

If it makes you feel any better, anyone buying their version will have a real issue filling it out because the knockout bracket they've used is not even close to accurate.

Done. Hopefully Etsy kick the fuckers off the site - they're taking the piss!

Reported this prick to Etsy, have messaged him too. Looking forward to his response

Disgraceful behaviour. Reported (after eventually finding the link to report a post).

Done. What a load of shiiiiiiite.

Can someone tell ya da how please

🤯

Done. The cheeky gits 👍
