illustration below is "Brotherhood" by Jonas Jödicke
This image was stolen by a singer to use on his merchandise. Link below for article by Nadja Sayej posted Jan 18, 2020 on Forbes.com details the story.
From the artist: " I first learned of Aaron’s use of my artwork from a follower on Twitter. They reached out via direct message telling me about Aaron’s tweet in which he had posted my artwork to promote his new merchandise shop. He did not mention me as the original artist and had not asked for permission in beforehand. That’s why I called him out in a tweet, in a polite way, to inform him that I was not alright with him using my art in that way."..
here is what the thief said: "you should've taken it as a compliment dick a fan of MINE sent this to me. oh here they go again, the answer is No this image has been made public and im using it to promote my clothing line (gave website for his merch) guess I'll see you in small claims court."
