“Taehakimdesigns” Is Stealing Mine And Other Artists’ Work. Even Selling Some Of Their Designs.

Hi, my friends—this is a really serious post and I need your help. 💗 I’m not the only person being stolen from, and I don’t want the next person to be you.

⚠️ ART THIEF ⚠️

“Taehakimdesigns” is stealing mine and other artists’ work. Even selling some of their designs.

Here is an extensive document created by Blue.journalist_ accounting the thief’s history. This contains other artists’s testimonies and further proof.

As for my side of the story, Taeha blocked me within minutes after I politely messaged them on TikTok to remove my artwork.

They are not only claiming the artwork as their own—they are actively tracing, coloring, and removing all of my watermarks from my original images (as they’ve done to other artists).

Here’s an example:

They also respond to comments as if they’re the one who created the piece:

After I confronted them and they blocked me, they proceeded to post MORE STOLEN ARTWORK. Even going so far as to falsely show their layers to “prove” they made it:

(I was able to see using an alt account)

And I’m not the only one.

Taehakimdesigns, who also went by taeha_kim_illustrations, has stolen other artists’ works.

@/Blue.journalist has an entire highlight on their Instagram of their past behavior. They’ve also been so kind to create a Google Doc outlining every encounter they’ve had with Taeha.

This document is incredibly important, as it describes what Taeha has been doing—and continues to do. They not only steal artwork; they sell them, falsely take commissions with them, and more.

Like all artists, I pour so much love into all of my art; I pour pieces of myself into my art, regardless of whether they’re silly or serious in tone. Which is why it breaks my heart that they’re not only stealing and selling stolen work, but treating others who call them out with blatant disrespect.

💗 I would appreciate it so much if you could help me report their account—even spreading the word helps. 💗

I’m only one of the artists they’ve stolen work from. I don’t want them taking from anyone else.
