Vendors have been pulling Parker’s book off their online stores as well. Even art websites like DeviantArt are not supporting Inktober by not hosting the event.
The majority of artists are not supporting Jake Parker by not participating in Inktober this year. Instead of splitting the art community, the controversy united it. In the art community, plagiarism is inexcusable. Parker rests his case by stating that his lawyers advised him from going into detail. It would only be natural that the book’s topics will be similar. He argues that since inking is a form of art that has been taught for years. He claimed that he would never plagiarize anyone’s work. Dunn also shows his original notes and artwork which took over three years to create for his book.īarely two days later, Parker tweeted his response to the accusations. With his lessons being retaught in the wrong order. Dunn’s artwork and instructions have been seemingly copy and pasted with some wording altered. In Dunn’s video, he said, “I needed to create this video for you to get some insight into the amount of work that goes into making a book…and for you to see the importance of protecting your work.”ĭunn shows in his video, his book and Parker’s book, Inktober all year long, side by-side to reveal jarring similarities. Dunn is a well renowned artist, author and YouTuber who shares his art advice and tutorials online. Then last August, Alphonso Dunn accused Parker of plagiarizing his book, Pen and Ink Drawing.
Less than half of the Inktober artists either refused to participate or begrudgingly joined the event. Despite the controversy, the majority of artists still participated in the event that same year. Either artists saw Parker as holding Inktober hostage or protecting his intellectual property. This event split the art community in half. He decided to protect his property by choosing to copyright Inktober. He believed that since he is the creator of Inktober and felt responsible for anything that comes from it. Parker gave the art community his reason to why he made his statement. That was until last December when Inktober was copyrighted by its creator, Jake Parker. It has since grown into a worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year.” Since its debut, artists everywhere have been participating in the event and contributed their artwork, which sparked a worldwide trend. Inktober was created during October 2009 as a “challenge to improve his inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. However, the event that was created for artists to celebrate inked artwork has been hijacked by the creator of Inktober himself, Jake Parker. In October, every piece of artwork would be done in ink. Inktober is a worldwide event that artists have always participated in.
