I am also a graphic artist. The industry does frown upon what he did, however his explanation of wanting to protect the privacy of his customers makes perfect sense in this forum full of stalkers. He still should have disclosed the samples were not his, but it is not as if he sold the work of others. Move on.

Techshare and Bitmover I hear you Bro

Tell me honestly, Have you ever seen any artist, who is hiding his work with this reasoning? I am yet to meet any legit Online-offline freelancer be it Concept-storyboard artist, Animator or any Sculptor who use such excuse ( scammy artist? Yes, many). Every artist I have met in my 9-year career show their work with pride. In Art Industry one doesn't need any degree, diploma but only work. Work is signature for every artist, Period.

I agree he didn't scam anyone here. Did it ever occur to anyone why? Because he got caught. That's it. Its like burglar entering in someone house and caught red-handed then his defense says that he didn't loot anyone.

I can understand why lutpin and suchmoon changed their feedback negative to neutral. Because somehow, he manages to portray an entirely different scenario about the Industry practice and the result, feedback turned into neutral. Which was wrong in the first place. ( No disrespect to lutpin/suchmoon)

If we go by this logic then every user who got red trust because they used google translate or plagiarizing content and so on should be given a second chance too. I am sure everyone of them need money as much as next guy and they need to put food on table also.

It not about " Bottom of the barrel and good education drama" I am high school graduate only ( i am not going to advertise where I was born only to counter any argument etc.) Poor people don't try to scam others, they work hard, smartly and climb up to ladders. So success is not about education or social status, its about Work Ethics and hard work of individual. as simple as that.

I can only sympathies in this case. I hardly tag someone unnecessary and i chose this option only when i am 100% sure and here i am positive i am not doing anything wrong.
