Last week we posted an item from Buzzfeed that captured an artist’s attempt to give Frida Kahlo a cover girl makeover.<\/a> But it turns out that we, along with several other websites that covered the story, wrongly attributed the piece to Tumblr user alisonofagun, who cleared everything up in a recent post:<\/p>\n

\u00a0In December 2012, a dude using the name \"toonsketchbook\" (he either deleted his blog or changed his url) created the Frida \"makeover\" repaint.<\/p>\n

I reblogged the picture and added a comment condemning it.<\/p>\n

Buzzfeed picked up the post and quoted my comment and the comments present on my particular reblog. They used my url as the \"image source.\" I began getting hate mail (some of it incredibly nasty). Because I didn’t know why people were coming to my blog, I deleted the post hoping that would stop the hate mail, but it just makes it look even *more* like I’m actually the artist because people can’t see that it was a reblog. (Not that that prevented people from thinking that I was artist in the first place, but it definitely made it worse.)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Since \"toonsketchbook\" no longer exists on Tumblr, the original makeover artist’s identity is still unclear.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n
