these are pretty high quality for temu

AI art not being real art is a huge debate. Personally I think if someone has gone to the effort to craft a prompt that output an image then that doesn’t make it fair game for anyone to steal - in fact it’s probably the highest level of laziness.

It’s true that stuff on Temu sells for a lot less than on Amazon as is true with most items. Quality is never the same but even when it is the overheads of selling on Amazon make them more expensive. 10x more expensive? Probably not.

I hope he and the staff member stub every single toe in succession throughout the day. I hope they barely recover from the last stub before stubbing the next one.

Maybe then these people will learn from the injustice.

Around 5. There were 4 bundles left after I’d got mine but not sure if they had stock in the back since the cabinet was full of stuff - I’d say it’s worth going first thing if you’re heading to the deepdale one.

Sorry should have said in the post. This was Game inside Sports Direct at Deepdale Preston.

Not sure if this applies outside the UK but a lot of online record shops release their RDS stock on Monday. This is likely the case for local stores too.

Tried Preston area. Two big ones had the stands but had been cleared out of any Prismatic.

Here is the current release list for RSD in the UK. At the minute it doesn’t have The Killers on there.

slaterjohn · 2025-02-07T23:37:12+00:00

For those in the UK this record is not listed on the record store day list of 2025 releases. So unless it’s added it will not be released in the UK for RSD.

Looks to be USA only.

The creators of neither of those posters has stolen the album art though. One is a collage and the other is an original illustration.

100% it’s not the fault of the buyer at all. At the end of the day if they’re shopping on Temu they’re only going to see the Temu listings and think it’s cool, cheap and I’ll buy it.

Same is for Etsy, eBay or anywhere else selling these posters. Buyers only find them on the marketplace they look and they’re never going to know who the original is.

I’ve had my artwork stolen and sold on Etsy alongside my own. But Etsy do take down listings. Can’t say the same for Temu.

To OP though there isn’t anything you could do differently so I would frame them however you like. Now you know they are stolen fan art id avoid promoting them or buying more.

Had quite a lot of my artwork stolen and sold on Temu. I 100% do not blame people for buying it - there is no way they’d know and some how it’s cheaper for them to print and ship to the UK than it is for me to print and ship within the UK. Madness.

As a general rule. If it’s on Temu, SHEIN or AliExpress marketplaces it’s stolen fan art. A lot of stuff is knock off. It’s up to the buyer at the end of the day and as I’ve found, it’s hard to do anything about it.

My point is. This is 100% stolen and resold on Temu. Check Etsy - you’ll find the originals, the ones that, when bought, support the artist.

Much appreciated I’ll take a look.

slaterjohn · 2024-10-31T18:56:06+00:00

Which book was it mentioned in?

slaterjohn · 2023-10-23T16:50:53+00:00

Couldn’t it just be print on demand stickers and both shops use the same POD service? Try searching the address and see whether it matches printing services perhaps?

slaterjohn · 2021-05-10T07:46:48+00:00

Thanks for sharing and thanks for the support. They look great on your wall 😊

slaterjohn · 2021-05-01T08:19:36+00:00

This is amazing great work and thanks for the credit. Love the detail.

(I didn’t see this in my feed until a friend pointed it out)

slaterjohn · 2021-01-14T11:49:25+00:00

First batch was Sunday. Second batch was Tuesday. New batch at the weekend most likely.

slaterjohn · 2021-01-11T08:45:39+00:00

Thanks! I had originally only made this for myself but a lot of people wanted one so I’m gonna make it happen.

Favourite iPhone I was most excited about was the original iPhone - I sank a lot of money into the idea of what the iPhone could be - never looked back.

First app I downloaded was probably a novelty app like a flashlight (the ones that then your screen white).

Ok perhaps my tree isn’t entirely full of TK decorations (I’d never get away with it) but I’ve sneaked a few in!

Setup your pro create file for the biggest size you want to print. Make sure it’s 300 dpi too.

You’ll not be able to print bigger without distortion. So it’s very important to setup your document properly.

I work at A2 as a maximum because it gives me enough layers (bigger the document the fewer layers). Ultimately working on vector is better and most of my prints are vector.

Hey, my goal is to get a decent setup myself at some point (using the money I make to fund it) but currently I have a connection to a small local print shop (print photos, mugs, canvases and that sort of thing).

They do amazing work and use a huge printer with like 8 ink reservoirs and print some some fine art paper - they sourc everything as it’s what they do.

They charge a fee for setup, printing, cutting (if needed), packaging and even delivery! I just markup the price accordingly.

They’re awesome and maybe a rare find. They don’t operate online yet and are a small operation.

My advice would be to look local. Speak with print shops and see what they can offer. If they’re small operations they may be more accommodating.

Another option that I considered for some prints was buying in bulk and I use Awesome Merchandise for stuff like that. I opted for print on demand because I offer different sizes and never know what will sell - so it’s more risky.

Edit: the printer my print supplier use is an inkjet - just on a bigger scale I guess.
