This delightful individual, instead of sending you a message of "thanks for the watch" or such when you follow him, rewards new followers with a threat of a frivolous copyright lawsuit if they "copy his work" (which consists of some very basic drawings he did years ago, and unhinged memes about American politics).

Anyone is free to copy and modify my work. Art is about sharing and collaboration, not greed, control and lawsuits.
