I started watermarking my art when art thievery became popular here on dA (or at least very popular, since it was here before).
The only case I found my work somewhere else was.. kind of a feature cos they copied my watermark too and didn't claim it as theirs. That was on a blog. But they didn't tell me that the took it..

Never. My art isn't good enough :D
I've started watermarking my pictures, though. because I don't want to go through all the stress with making them remove the picture(s) and stuff.

My art's not good enough to steal :rofl:

But I hate seeing that happen. ( >_< ) People can be such jerks~

I have had two stolen. One from a club (should have seen that one coming) and one from a gallery.

I don't think I've had anyone ever steal a specific piece of art I made,
but someone did completely take my online persona and all my art before. :|
