Artist Beware: Little~Bit on FA

[knowntobite.livejournal.com]

WHO: Jess Little Bit, Porter Corgi, Jess GShep, DykeShep

WHERE: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/little~bit/
https://www.weasyl.com/profile/dykeshep

WHAT: Conversation and Business Transaction started on Facebook through their Furry Account moved to their OTHER furry account then to their email THEN to Furaffinity VIA Notes: Was a trade – 2 German Shepherd car decal stickers in exchange for traditional artwork that was to be mailed to me.

WHEN: January 4, 2012 5:16pm and 5:40pm for initiation of transaction
My first sign of issues should have been when I had to have a friend get a hold of her when she FINALLY emailed me back on Tuesday, December 11, 2012 10:48 PM OR when I finally got a hold of her through FA note June 25th, 2013 03:00 but no, the REAL issue was figured out here recently when she flat out blocked me from her FA, deleted all comments then most of her journals and I had to post a journal and note an FA admin about it on August 16th, 2013 08:13.

PROOF: Numerous forms of communication from two different Facebook accounts, emails, and FA notes.
Facebook Convo:

Days later - Accounts Changed - OLD Facebook DELETED. Luckily I had her added as a friend on her OTHER Facebook account so I messaged her there:

Had a friend NOTE and shout her through FA to get her attention and have her email me when I got no response via Facebook and realized she hadn't posted anything on there in months. So here is our emails back and forth when she finally found the time to email me:

And this is my last reply to her last email to me – it was unanswered:

Finally got my FA back late last year(was under a temp suspension) and messaged her through there so we didn't have to continue our transaction and messaging through email and notes are easier to deal with:

Well, I didn't hear from her in a while and I sent her a C&P'd note I was sending out to all who still had art they owed me. She replied to my note and posted up a journal on FA that same day about her getting ALL ART DONE THAT DAY. I responded with - can't wait to see mine. She hid all my comments and her responses to me which stated mine will be completed with the rest of her owed art. When 12-13 days had past and she, again, posted up no new art and a journal about taking more commissions, I went to comment on her newest journal about the ones she was suppose to finish nearly 2 weeks ago. That's when I soon discovered I was BLOCKED by her. I posted a journal asking someone to find out why I was blocked - I do not want them to harass or gripe at them, just simply inquire but was asked by the admin to remove the journal in the notes below, so I did. I then messaged an admin to ask her WHY I was blocked when she still owes me art. This is that convo with the admin of FA:

Here is a print screen of her saved address still in my amazon account along side MY address, my bf's address(same as mine), and my mother's address.

EXPLAIN: As you can see from all the messages, I HAVE asked for updates, tried to contact her several different ways when I got no response from her, tried to fix the issue, was VERY patient and understanding, etc. She is now just blatantly trying to "brush the transaction under the rug" so to speak and ignore the fact that she DOES in fact owe me art and has said so many times on many different forms of communication and despite the fact I have proof of everything. I no longer wish to have art by her, I would much rather just have my $$ back for the decals and am worried about all the other clients waiting for art and warn others never to do any sort of trade or transaction with her.

EDIT: She recently took down the BLOCK on FA long enough to send me a note. Trying to lie to me about what she told the admin and state she would now draw me a SKETCH to put this all behind her. I made a reply and a day later after talking to some friends and the bf, I sent one last note to her via FA. I've been nothing but kind and understanding to this girl and I have finally had enough. I put my foot down and told her this is what I want, otherwise I will NOT be a happy client. I have yet to receive a reply and really don't think I will.

wow, i forgot all about this girl...she still owes me half of a trade from 4 (or more?) years ago.

[crystamartin.livejournal.com]

Just a heads up, but the fact that you've used a font colour setting makes this impossible to read on my friends page with a dark theme.

[tealmoonxiv.livejournal.com]

Not to mention the font and color hurt your eyes on the light theme.

[knowntobite.livejournal.com]

The font color is black and the links are green. This is what it comes up on IE and Google Chrome for me. Ive made sure to change it back to black before posting again. Sorry if you cannot read it, you can copy and paste it into something like Word or Notepad and change the font and colors to something more suitable for your tastes. Thank you for trying to read my post.

[crystamartin.livejournal.com]

Thanks for editing it! I can read it now.

I'm just going to point out in that last exchange with her where she says you can keep this post up "until you receive the art" that it's against the rules of A_B to delete posts, full-stop. So this post's going nowhere.

Why she's so bothered about getting the entire post taken down when most of her commissions are from friends, yeah, right. She is correct though that the screencap with her address is dangerous for her, so good for you on editing that out quickly.

That said...

Ugh, this is just... Yeah. Definitely beware. Not only did she try to completely get out of giving you the art, now that she's been caught in that lie she's trying to change what was agreed? Sucks for her that the decals are only the value of a sketch in her opinion, but she agreed to make art in exchange. The fact that she short-changed herself is no one's problem but her own.

[knowntobite.livejournal.com]

Yes, I read afterwards that you cannot take a post down that the tag "resolved" would instead be added. Completely understandable. I feel bad that I had mentioned taking the post down then finding out you can't but only slightly lol Others need to be warned about her shady deals and how she tries to lie and manipulate things so she can get out of a deal/trade/commission.

What blows me away is that she tried to lie to me about what she told the admin. I am SO glad to have all that screen-caped. I do NOT wish to do business with anyone who will blatantly LIE to a commissioners face about something. ><

And seeing the commenter above, and a commenter from one of her recently journals, she STILL owes people art while still posting up journals about how she wants MORE commissions. I hope the commenters are able to get their art as well.

Even though this post cannot come down as I had first mentioned to her, I am actually glad it is staying up. Even as a warning to others that this is actually quite common for her to try and pull. For others to be aware that she WILL be quick lie to your face or give excuse after excuse and then BLOCK you to try to keep you quiet. Even go so far as to lie to an admin to try and get out of it.

Thank you for your support. <3

whoa dude whats with that font? :L

[knowntobite.livejournal.com]

I think I fixed it. I apologize.

[kayla-la.livejournal.com]

'Most of my commissions are from friends so an AB doesn't really phase me much'.

What a strange attitude to have. I would think your conscience would phase you when you realize that you literally stole from somebody. Are things only morally (legality of theft aside...) wrong to her if they cost her money or something?

I just can't understand doing something pretty blatantly wrong and shrugging about it like that. 'It was just a little theft, who cares? Pssht.'

[crystamartin.livejournal.com]

The thing that got me about that was she said that, but at the bottom she talks about taking the post down... I thought she didn't care about being posted here?

[zackfig.livejournal.com]

Funnily enough, most of the problems I've had when I do business is with friends.

I guess some people think that because you're friends with someone, you don't feel as obligated as to keep your reputation as an artist

[lichdog.livejournal.com]

I remember this girl posting to literally every FA group offering herself as an art slave. :T

[cathzcathz.livejournal.com]

What a immature attitude with that journal she made about not caring for the A_B post. She left a ever lasting impression there.

I hope she learns that having that way of thinking is going to ruin her reputation and get no customers.

[dragontripmon.livejournal.com]

And the comments from that same journal are not helping either.

EDIT: Yeah the journal post is still there. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5011512/
She really does not seem to care what can happen with an mindset like that.

[gallifreyanfuzz.livejournal.com]

Particularly the "should be told in private" bit.

Just screams that she'd prefer people not to know about it instead of dealing with the issue responsibly by either reimbursing or doing the work.

Beware very well warranted.

[cathzcathz.livejournal.com]

I saw, jeez. Its purely disgusting to see that, I was tempted to throw my two cents on that journal but I'm withholding.

A shame really. Beware really well warranted. :/

[xubunturambles.livejournal.com]

Disgusting, disgusting behavior.
