Following the thread, it looks like Jake’s lawyers are prepping for a release of his new book by going after people using #inktober for their own personal works.
This really isn’t accurate and is an overreation to property rights Jake has had since 2009. He has made it clear that he is seeking out to stop random people who aren’t even a part of the art community from stealing his logo and selling merch that isn’t actually affiliated with him. His recent post about it clarifies that he isn’t trying to go after artists selling their own work who mention the word Inktober and if someone gets flagged without genuine cause, they can easily reach out to him to clear up the misunderstanding.
It’s nothing more than a blatant lie to claim he is trying to prevent artists from selling their own work.
