The AuGHOST Files: 2022

May 19, 2025 Leave a Comment

This year, we had to deal with an art thief. He stole artwork that was posted in the AuGHOST hashtag and reposted it as his own; three of my submissions were stolen.

But this led to a beautiful moment of cooperation where a couple members of the AuGHOST community – complete strangers – reached out and made me aware of this thief. We all reported him and got his Twitter account suspended. When people come together, they can accomplish anything!
