Title: Check for yours... portfolio of copies

This guy is confirmed to have straight up copied at least one person's photos.  It IS a copyright violation when the illustration is obviously traced from the photo.

Yes, if you are going to trace a photo, you must also own copyright to the photo.

What is with these people. Good find. Hopefully when I look again in a couple days, enough people will have reported this dope, because of your effort, and this account will be gone.
