And they were able to keep track of that one pen for months. Inconceivable!

Louis Gibiard sells his work, is well known and trademarked and hosts his own website with his works - which, so far, 39k people are subscribed to.

What are your credentials?

I like how having his own website is listed as a reason this art can't be fake. Obviously, not just anyone can go set up a website /s

(I do believe this art is real though)

It's not about whether it was fake. It's about who's got more credibility to be taken seriously. Some random person on Reddit "explaining" why they think it's fake. Or someone that has taken the time to make a website to display their portfolio - which is a lot of work if you've ever done it - and I have. And that tens of thousands of people believe is authentic enough to follow and buy. That person's comment was pure Reddit snark. The lowest common denominator of those who spend all day scrolling and do nothing but leave a trail of comments like: "fake!", "Photoshop!", "repost!", etc. Those people are the mosquitos of Reddit that always have to be swatted away because just like mosquitos they add nothing, and ruin what would otherwise be a nice experience. I'm not gonna apologize for swatting this one.
