“But
if we’re going to constantly use mentally ill people to dodge conversations
about gun control, then the very least we owe them is a fucking plan.”

I watched this yesterday and was almost in tears

I’m glad to see folks like John get on their asses for this.

Mental health was originally brought up in the wake of these shootings with good intentions, but gun assholes saw its use as a mere tool of distraction pretty quickly. It’s so fuckin’ gross.

haha yeah had to do it :v

Back in January, it came to my attention that Madonna’s social media team had been using a series of 3 of images in a campaign on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram with her head superimposed on my paintings to promote her new album “Rebel Heart". I’m pretty easy going, and never wanted to make a big stink about things; all I wanted was for this to be fair and civil— everyone in my circle felt I should “sue! Sue her!“, etc” but I didn’t want to make a big stink about things, just because it was a high profile name. But despite my messages / emails to Liz Rosenburg (her agent) commenting on the said social media posts, and the MANY posts of people defending the work / calling her out on it, the messages were overlooked and ignored, and the work was never credited. I’m used to getting the BS line of “we love your work, but unfortunately we don’t have a budget to pay you, but it will be great exposure for you and will get you lots of work as a result!” And while yes, it is flattering to see a world icon use my work, she also has a net worth of close to $800 million, so budget definitely isn’t an issue, and I can honestly say, considering who it is we’re taking about, I would have been MORE than happy to just be credited, and have the exposure a high profile name like Madonna would have provided. I mean, in doing the math, off of Instagram, the images got a collected 145,000 + likes, on Facebook, some 77,000+ likes, and Twitter, about 1,000+reposts. That’s some serious exposure that was leeched from me and my art, and used to promote her agenda. I got caught up with some work, and kind of forgot about the whole thing a few weeks later, and just wrote it off as a ‘’so this one time Madonna used my artwork” experience, y’know, one of those.

NOW  (since the Rebel Heart tour kicked off)… I found out the art is being used on her “Rebel Heart” tour from a friend who recognized the work during the show. I’ve seen at least 4 youtube videos that show it, as it’s part of a loop played during her song “Rebel Heart”. Granted it’s a SMALL part of the show, but I was never A.) asked, and B.) COMPLETELY ignored when I called her staff / team out on improper use of my creative property.

I think what I’m upset about through all this is, the whole experience only perpetuates the frustration we artists have of getting ripped off, and taken advantage of. I worked hard to make those paintings, well over 100+ hours put into making them and well, if Madonna can just take them and use them for shameless self promotion, she has no right getting upset / suing people who use her work without asking. You might be Madonna, but BITCH, I’M MAD ON A few different levels. You stole my material, girl.

Tumblr community, can you please share this, and pass it around, in an attempt to highlight her hypocrisy, and speak out for the MANY artists who are taken advantage of, be it knowingly, or unknowingly. Thank you so much!

Reblog art. Always.

100% this

Pretty much what I’ve been saying, telling, yelling, screaming to people, guess what? They don’t get it nor care. So WAKE UP viewers and show some love. I even have a dedicated account just to reblog art that deserve more attention.

i need y’alls reblogs because I have a “NOT SAFE FOR WORK” Tumblr which means they’ll never help promote me, by listing me in their “recommended blogs” or the radar or whatever. Reblogs are all I got.
