Gently trying to push to find out why Thisisnotawebsitedotcom took my artwork.

I'm still not like, angry about it. Just sort of confused as to why somebody from an official Gravity Falls website's art team decided to use my stuff when they've clearly got a huge amount of talented people on the project.

My header, as in A Return to the Falls:

Again, I can't emphasise enough - it's spot on. It's pixel perfect. It even has weathering marks that I added, which the designer has attempted to cover up. Somewhat tellingly, it's also got a Greasy's diner coupon which is a very similar design to my own efforts, in the same location.

I get that this is fanart and it's all a good bit of fun but I would have at least liked to have been asked. I don't even expect to get anything out of this, just an acknowledgement of 'we took this unfairly' would be nice.

I even get that this is something most fans would be super proud of, even be excited by - but this is mostly just really, really strange. Like it doesn't make a lick of sense as to why they'd use a fan creation for this.

Please do reblog. Maybe bring it up on Twitter. A few of my friends have already, just in the vain hope that Alex acknowledges it. If you do the same please just tag me as well so I can keep track.
