5/29/2016: I know this is old now, but I still laugh at this every time I see it.
That's right folks, you read that right. Two kids (I'm assuming they're kids) think I stole a drawing for a contest I recently entered and won.
This drawing to be exact. (Edit: 10/24/2015; I updated this drawing with my Twitter handle and EpicDuel username.)
*Ahem* Okay, so, here's the story; At the beginning of this month, BioBeasts announced a contest to create a Beast and post it up on Twitter to their contest feed. Some time passes later and I see the winners announced and I was among one of them. I was really happy and excited and I was awarded $50 worth of points to which I can use on any Artix Entertainment game.
Today I check my email and I got an email notification from Twitter that I've been mentioned in some tweets, curious, I go to check it out. To my surprise, I see this.
My Twitter username is BlackCrowKnight because the name GiantPurpleCat was taken on that site.
After seeing this, I started laughing. I couldn't believe that these kids got mad at me just because I won a contest fair and square. The staff at Artix Entertainment do their research so they will know if a drawing was stolen or not. Mind you, I have my real name on both my Twitter and DeviantArt and if the staff did think I stole the drawing, they would have notified me immediately. They do background checks for every art contest entry for all of their contests, if I did, somehow, steal this drawing and submit it to them, they would have told me and disqualified me, but they didn't because they knew I drew this.
So now, I had to tell these kids that the drawing belongs to me and that this DeviantArt account is mine. Since I just replied to them, I don't know if they will reply back and issue an apology or not. But I do want an apology from these two because they're spreading lies and misinformation and that's not cool.
UPDATE: I never got a reply back from that kid who keeps spreading lies about me "stealing" the drawing. He's still crying and whining that "someone better deserves the prize", ironic, coming from someone who's a narcissist, calls everyone a noob, gets mad over the simplest of things and downloads games and emulators and is too cheap to support Artix Entertainment because "they're a rip off", wanting to use bots, asking people for their game accounts and the list goes on.
UPDATE 2: He never responded to me or my posts and never gave me an apology. I either shut the kid up by proving him wrong, or something else. I don't know.

So, my college has shut down
I've written plenty of stories about my crappy, excuse of a college and how horrible my portfolio teacher has treated me and another student and then it finally happens, my college shuts down.
For those of you who've read my previous journals, you all might be thinking "Well, that must be fantastic news to you, Cat!" But the truth is, yes and no. "What?" you guys exclaim in your heads before you ask me why, let me explain.
The news of my college came (seemingly) out of nowhere and I practically saw almost every one of my college mates share an article around about the college shutting down with some happy and others, not so much. I was a mi

Moving and Slow Art Production
Hey guys, I wanna let you know that I'll be pretty slow in producing art for a while because I am moving to another town and the past week has been rather exhausting with collecting donation money for my boyfriend's fathers burial and attending the actual burial itself.
Once I'm settled into the new house, I'll try to post some new art. But for the meantime, I'll be busy with moving and with my job.

I know I replied to this a while ago and I agree with most of what you did but there's something that I personally can't condone and it may have been an oversight for you.
You shouldn't have posted his Twitter links etc where people can go and target him for a specific reason. Regardless of your follower numbers, it is inherently a horrid thing to pin a target on him regardless of his actions towards you and regardless of your initial intentions for posting them. In that sense, you're basically doing the same as him. He spreads lies about you but you are also unintentionally attacking him back. You want to post evidence of his transgressions, sure. Post a pic or something. If other people seeing this also feels offended, they'll seek him out themselves without your urging. You basically turned yourself into an instigator and are no better than him. There's a reason why I never name names whenever I have beef with others. Spread awareness, not hate.
I hope you can reflect from this and not do something so reckless next time. Make a difference by not becoming them.
