Being an artist in a plagiarism-ridden world may have you questioning how to maintain a sustainable career. Raymond Biesinger (@raymondbiesinger) centres that battle in his memoir ‘9 Times My Work Has Been Ripped Off.’ The illustrator gives fellow creatives the lowdown on how to deal with the theft of their work and honour their labour.

From the crowd at his Toronto book launch and a one-on-one conversation with Biesinger, writer Liana Yadav (@liana_yadav) describes the exasperating events that inspired the book. What initially started as a vengeful project directed at a non-profit organization that stole his work soon turned into a survival guide for artists in an apocalyptic freelancing climate.

While the debut of AI technology has produced anxiety in the creative world, “AI NOPE” walks through AI’s follies, its weaknesses, and how our art, text, and publications can strategically focus on projects AI cannot effectively do.

𝐑𝐚𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐢𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 is a Montréal-based illustrator, artist, and author. He has completed more than one thousand assignments for magazines, newspapers, and ad agencies since 2002. His 2025 Drawn & Quarterly book 9 Times My Work Has Been Ripped Off: An Informal Self-Defence Guide for Independent Creatives explores real-life instances (and responses) of wage theft and copyright theft in the creative world.
