Good afternoon,
I am an artist online who goes by [private]. I am specifically writing to you in regards to a website illegally using my work for profit, primarily using images from my Instagram page ([private]). My email address is listed at the top of my Instagram page if you need to confirm my identity.
Here is the offending material. You can see here my Instagram images have been published in a gallery crediting me as "Min Soo Ky."

I have linked to every image from my IG below:
[private]
I have also taken screenshots and video clips of the location where the offending material is being used. I can send these clips and screenshots over if requested.
The website in question is offering a monthly subscription fee (located here: https://altscifi.github.io/store/art/join.html) for $7 as well, so they are making a monetary profit from their website while using my images, without permission. They have never personally contacted me before publishing my photos and I have never authorized the use of my photos in this manner. I would never allow a website to make money - for themselves - off my work.
Other artists have also commented that he has taken their work and is selling these works as prints on this website - while I cannot obviously file a DMCA takedown on their behalf, you should also be aware he is trying to make money off prints as well.
None of my work, including this, is under any sort of creative commons license. I only grant permission, via email, for my work to be used on other websites not owned by me.
To rectify this situation, I want my photos removed. Additionally, if this person is violating any terms of service with you, I hope that you will carry out whatever measures are necessary for those who willfully break these terms.
The owner's email is [private]. This person is also affiliated with [private], according to [private].
I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above on the infringing web pages is not authorized by the copyright owner, or its agent, or the law. I have taken fair use into consideration.
I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner, or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
I have already read your guide to submitting a DMCA takedown notice.
Do not publish my mailing address or phone number publicly. I read that all DMCA requests are published, so please omit the information below. My physical address is [private]. My phone number is [private]. I prefer physical confirmation that this situation has been dealt with; I would prefer confirmation via mail
