This rabbit hole goes deep. Tons of other artists ripped off in this Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheGeekFind/items

LOTR by Jimmy Cauty. Name of the Wind (title?) by Marc Simmonetti. Eddard Stark with Ice by Michael Komarck. The Gunslinger by Steve Stone. Dark Tower (title?) by David Finch.


Please identify the artists and spread the word. 374 products in their shop. I’m exhausted.

And so far I’ve notified:

David Finch
Mary GrandPre
John Howe
Michael Komarck
Jae Lee
Marc Simonetti
Chase Stone
Steve Stone

I messaged the shop owner, warned them about copyright, and as usual they seem clueless—or are at least feigning ignorance. I honestly don’t know how you can rip off such major talent and not realize what you’re doing.
