Etsy Art Thieves
Art Thieves abound on Etsy, and Etsy seems to encourage them by ignoring DMCA take-down notices. Here, we are looking at the Art Thieves on Etsy who are claiming Aaron Kuehn's Typogram art works as their own.
This is Aaron Kuehn's Skeleton Typogram, which he solely created and on which he solely owns the U.S. Copyright. Take a look at it.

Today we feature an art thief who goes by the name Hannah Harrison. Hannah stole the art of Aaron Kuehn, removed his name from his art, and is presenting his art as her own on Etsy. She is charging people to download PDFs of Aaron Kuehn's art, so they can print up their own shirts. Hannah Harrison is an intentional and willful Copyright infringer and Art thief.
Hannah Harrison is also a violator of VARA, the Visual Artist's Rights Act, in that she removed Aaron Kuehn's name off his art so he would not get credit, and is selling his art as if it were her own. For shame. She also put a background on it for purposes of display on her page, obviously because she thought this would thwart our efforts to find her infringements using search tools.
First up, we have Hannah Harrison, who also uses the name ASHDesignsGA.
This is Hannah Harrison's Etsy page, filled with art thievery:

Hannah Harrison is a hardcover stealer of art. She has done the unthinkable, the shocking. She has stolen Aaron Kuehn's Skeleton Typogram, removed his name off his art, and is selling pdf downloads of his art -- so that others can then illegally print up items and sell those. Shocking!
Hannah Harrison must be either delusion and deranged to think this is her art work -- or she must be a disgusting art thief. Or she might be both!
Let's see what Hannah Harrison's customer's think about the stolen art they have purchased from her:
Oh, look at all the happy customers! Do they even know that Hannah Harrison is an ART THIEF and they are buying stolen goods?
Here are Cassie Gossett and Daniel, both of whom used Aaron Kuehn's art, stolen from him by Hannah Harrison, to print up shirts for others. This is Copyright Infringement on a grand scale!
Here's Lisa and Dee Brown!
Here we have Natasha McDonald, Jess Shanning, and others, all buying stolen art from the Art Thief, Hannah Harrison!
Poor Cheryl - she could not figure out how to get into the file she paid for. The stolen art file she bought from Hannah. How sad.
Hannah has made MANY sales. Each one of the sales was an art theft, a copyright infringement. And each sale was a further theft because each one used the pdf to print up shirts. Hannah Henderson owes lots of money to Aaron Kuehn now. Look at her smiling in her photo!
Etsy has been notified about these copyright infringements aka art thefts committed by Hannah Harrison. Etsy has been notified numerous times. Etsy has taken no action. Etsy is complicit in the rampant art theft on its site.
There are several others on Etsy right now stealing the art from this same artist. Each one will get his or her own page!
