disneyforprincesses: thelostsunprincess: feministdisney: katiewoodger: DISNEY HAVE STOLEN MY ARTWORK I don’t know what to do. I am so upset. Can anyone help me? My painting was created back in 2010, (see it HERE) and since then so many people have expressed their love for it, not just on tumblr, but in many places. At least 9 people had it tattooed on their bodies. It’s one of my favourite images I created at University and I was proud of it in many ways. Disney have used it on a cosmetics bag HERE (look at the back)and they have produced a Tshirt HERE with a really similar design clearly modeled from my painting I’m so mad because I have no chance at getting Disney to do anything about it. I had so much respect for the company and now I am just SO upset and disappointed. Any help, advice or signal boosting would be amazing. And thank you so much to the kind person who messaged me about this. I’m so sorry this happened to you, it really is a beautiful painting! I hope they compensate you for it :( that is really terrible… that would blatantly rip off young illustrators knowing there’s a good chance they won’t notice or won’t have the money to take it to court. I wonder just how many of their products were copy/pasted rather than paid for?? Hopefully not many…. :(  The person  who alerted me to this post noted that: something about a big corporation thinking they can use the work of an unknown girl and profit from it is distinctly anti-feminist to me. If enough people contact Disney and complain, maybe they will pull the shirt and bag? I doubt it but its always worth a shot. Wow that’s screwed up
