He noted that he and his team made an effort to hire Ástor to make original art for Monster Prom because they were fans and also because the team wanted to make sure Ástor got paid fairly. Quijano also noted that art theft is incredibly common across multiple artistic disciplines, and that ensuring artists on the team got paid and got proper credit was a priority from the beginning. “Like… damn… 10 years ago I was dancing to Papa Roach music on a nightclub, completely unable of even imagining in the future they would be using (in a very nasty not nice way) art from a game I would create.” “The whole thing just gave us some good laughs, silly puns and a funny story to tell,” Quijano continued. “So this is probably that: a venue that improvised a poster and their graphic designer found our poster to do so.” What ends up happening is they just Google some random cool images to alter a bit and add the info,” Quijano said. “I used to work in nightclubs for a couple years, and clubs and venues always do the same: their graphic designers have to do some poster designs per week for each party, concert, whatever.

Right now, developers of the game Monster Prom say that they saw art that they’re selling as a poster for their game on a Papa Roach tour poster. In case you forgot who Papa Roach are, which is understandable, they had this hit song in the year 2000: This past week, the video game Monster Prom had its promotional art reused without permission by the band Papa Roach for a tour poster.
