It would be unexpected to use quantifiers such as “lesser known artist”, “obscure artist” or “[somewhat] unknown artist” to credit a work. “Artist unknown” means “I (and in some cases, everybody else) don’t know who the artist is”. The only other option is an artist who goes by the name “unknown”, which is even more bizzare.

You can still edit the title and even the image link. A post at [email protected] that credits the artist already exists.
the artist’s name is even right there on the image. there’s really no excuse here.
I swear to glob I don’t see the name. LeBron James reportedly didn’t see the name. Chat, is she stupid ? (yes)
the image looks like it’s been mirrored, but it’s right by her left (actually probably right) shoulder. says “Cliven Zu”.
Yeah, to paraphrase something I once read on the other site, “unknown” doesn’t mean “I don’t know”.
I’d argue that it kinda does in this context.
