“I found art on pinterest/this forum/reposted on someone’s tumblr and I want to find the original.“

One: See if you can find a signature.  If you can, then you can google the artist.

Two: if that fails, right click on the image and select “view image”

This will take you to an image source page.  This is where the website is hosting the individual image file.

Copy the url.  Open up Google, go to Images, and click the camera.

Paste the url into the box and hit search.

You will end up with results based on how many websites have links to this image.

Generally it takes between five and twenty minutes to find a piece of art, depending on the rarity.
