Everything in this guy's shop is a copy

I guess having a Y chromosome and being on Etsy means you get a free pass for all kinds of crap, huh? Not only did he start a similar thread a while back to boohoo about being caught out, but he also had a line of people waiting to suck up to him. As to his shop, he seems to 'borrow' a whole lot of 'inspiration' from other artists in a way that's as subtle as a sack of hammers.

I'd be hesitant to give advice to this guy (especially written advice). We're only hearing one side of the story, remember.

His work is so derivative that it's impossible to believe that he did anything other than swipe the design of the InvotisOrange designer. What is it with folks sucking up to a male seller on etsy? In other forums in which (I'm guessing they're women) sellers claim their work was ripped off, they seem to get smacked down.

Intuition tells me that this guy thought that he give the illusion of innocence by going to the forums and bemoaning his plight. He comes across as a creepy, plagarizing sociopath.
