Hot Topix again the home for stolen art.

Jess Fink who has done a number of comics and T-Shirt designs has found that Hot Topix is selling one of her designs.. well almost.

A Hot Topix rep had little to say.

“It is my poiicy to encourage freelancers to use the free Getty photo images as reference points & we also use sketches from the Japanese free clip art books, which have inanimate objects with cute faces & legs etc. which are also very similar to the soap.”

Remember Todd Goldman.

Hey guys, thanks for the post! I have to point out though that it was not a representative from Hot topic, it was a representative from the design company that made the rip-off and then sold it to Hot Topic. They buy shirts from all kinds of venders and people, apparently though don’t back check quite so well.

Thanks! That helps.. also if they don’t check work all that close maybe we should all try to get jobs with them.
