If artists want anonymity, fine. However, a lot of them don't put any identifiers even when the images are completely harmless. Some of these artists put their nicks on some, but not all, images in a completely arbitrary manner.

Furthermore, nobody said they had to put their real name. A nick is... a nick.

a) Look at image.
