Appropriation and Meme Culture

When Artwork becomes a meme

Meme culture has made media content increasingly spreadable. Now, this would be great for Content Creators if there wasn’t one glaring issue.

That being that the original creators of this “memeable” content often go unnoticed.

One example of artwork becoming a meme is the piece called “Master’s Blessing” by a Deviant Artist named MorkarDFC

This piece was originally made in 2016. In 2018 it suddenly became a massive hit in the meme community. The only problem was that the internet didn’t credit and therefore appropriated his artwork.
