And sadly, it wasn't by a dashing art thief jumping out of windows while swilling martinis.  ArtistAbe, a talented and friendly artist who let me snag a Harley Quinn poster for a few bucks shy of his price when I was short on cash, has found some of his artwork being sold on phone cases on Etsy Shop, naturally without his permission.

Considering we're all on a site dedicated to art, I don't have to explain why that sucks.  ArtistAbe asks that you DO NOT support whatever unofficial distributor is selling his artwork but if you wanna hear it straight from the horse's mouth, here's his journal explaining the situation, fav.me/d6vuwrd (However, this shouldn't be taken as an invitation to go kicking down doors and trying to catch crooks either...Disclaimer).

While you're at it, why not check out his whole gallery?  If you like fun and the joy of life, he's got you covered.  If not, then you're probably the guy selling his stuff without his permission.

That's just rude. D:

I've been on ebay finding other people's works on things I'd consider buying had they not been stolen.
