I bought obviously stolen artwork today. How and where can I help find justice for the artist?

Admins please respond to this. The artwork was being sold for money and had the signature of the original artist erased. This happened on Saturday, in Hall D Cobo Center.

Are you still at con? if so I would recommend showing the artwork you purchase to a staff member onsite. There are artist alley and dealer room staff in the dealer room. Also there are convention operation/security rooms in both Cobo and Ren Cen.

I will past this information along but if you still on site and able to talk to a staffer member that it would be very helpful.

Thank you for bring this to our attention

I am no longer at the con, but I can tell you which vendor it was and which prints were stolen, and which print I bought as proof. I also messages the original artist that this happened.
