DUE TO MANY FACTORS OUTSIDE OF MY CONTROL,WE ARE BEHIND BY OVER 12 MONTHS. I AM DOING MY BEST TO COMPLETE EXISTING ORDERS AND WILL DELIVER EVERY SINGLE ORDER WE HAVE!

PLEASE, DO NOT DISPUTE CHARGES WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY OR BANK!

 DISPUTING CHARGES WILL ONLY DELAY US FURTHER. WE ARE A FAMILY RUN BUSINESS AND THE MAIN PART OF THIS BUSINESS HAS BEEN OUT SINCE JANUARY, 2024! IN OUR FAMILY BUSINESS, WE RELY HEAVILY ON EACH OTHER IN ORDER TO CREATE WHAT WE DO! BECAUSE OF THIS, IF ONE OF US GOES DOWN, WE ALL DO! 

YOU HAVE NOT BEEN SCAMMED, PART OF A GRIFT, OR CHEATED! 

EVERY ORDER AND EVERY COLLECTOR WE HAVE IS OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. OUR COLLECTORS ARE THE ONLY THING THAT HAVE KEPT US GOING! WITHOUT YOU, WE WOULD BE BANKRUPT!!! EVERY ORDER WE RECEIVE IS 100% LEGITIMATE AND IS NOT PART OF SOME SCHEME TO TAKE YOUR MONEY AND SCAM YOU! WE HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR ALMOST 50 YEARS! OUR HISTORY AND BODY OF WORK SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO SHOW THAT WE ARE NOT GRIFTERS, SCHEMING OUR WAY TO FAME & FORTUNE! IF WE WERE, WE WOULD NOT BE ACCESSIBLE AT ALL AND YOU WOULD NEVER SPEAK TO THE ARTIST OR MYSELF!  IT IS AN INSULT TO THINK WE WOULD DO THAT! IF YOU HAVE ORDERED A WORK OF ART FROM US, IT WILL BE DELIVERED, PERIOD! 

EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO US IS ABSOLUTELY, 100% TRUTHFUL!!! 

I HAVE BEEN CALLED A LIAR, DISHONEST, AND MANY OTHER THINGS THAT I WON'T REPEAT!  I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW PAINFUL IT IS TO HAVE SOMEONE YOU DO NOT KNOW CALL YOU A LIAR AND MAKE STATEMENTS ABOUT THE TRAGEDIES WE HAVE EXPERIENCED OVER THE LAST 2.5 YEARS! ONE PERSON SAID, AND I QUOTE;

"It’s a sad day when, due to your own lack of action in two months, you tarnish the family name and the historical good work of your father."

THIS SAME PERSON WENT ON TO THREATEN ME, SAYING THEY WERE GOING TO REPORT US AS FRAUDULENT TO THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES AS WELL AS REPORTING OUR SITE AS MALICIOUS TO THE DNS !  SHE ORDERED JUST PRIOR TO MOM DYING AND I DID EMAIL HER AND WAS CLEAR THAT IT WAS A DIFFICULT TIME FOR US AND THAT IT WAS GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME. FURTHERMORE, SHE ORDERED DURING A TIME WHERE SHE HAD TO GO THROUGH A POPUP THAT EXPLAINED OUR SITUATION, HOW WE WERE HANDLING ORDERS, AND THAT WE WERE 4-6 WEEKS MINIMUM FOR ESTIMATED DELIVERY. YET, SHE STARTED HER COMPLAINTS WHEN SHE WAS STILL WITHIN THE MINIMUM DELIVERY SCHEDULE. SHE WAS ENTITLED AND DEMANDING WITH EVERYTHING SHE SENT ME. THEN, SHE DISPUTED THE CHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER I SENT HER THE TRACKING NUMBER FOR HER ORDER. THIS WAS BEYOND INFURIATING AND AFTER ALL THE INSULTS AND TIME WASTED, I DID NOT HOLD BACK. AFTER ALL HER STATEMENTS REGARDING FRAUD, SHE WAS NOW THE ONE GUILTY OF COMMITTING "FRIENDLY FRAUD," BY MAKING A FALSE CLAIM SAYING THAT THE PRODUCT WAS "NOT AS DESCRIBED!" SHE MADE THAT STATEMENT WITHOUT EVEN SEEING IT!!! I CALLED HER OUT AND FILED MY OWN COMPLAINT! 

THE REASON I AM STATING ALL OF THIS IS BECAUSE THIS ONE PERSON AFFECTED EVERYONE ELSE THAT I HAD ON THE BOOKS AT THAT TIME. HER ENTITLED, AMAZONIAN ATTITUDE COST ME HOURS OF WASTED TIME. EVERY SECOND I SPENT ON HER TOOK ME AWAY FROM BEING ABLE TO WORK ON OTHERS ORDERS. WORSE, SHE COST US THE ONE THING WE DON'T HAVE MUCH OF, MONEY! HER DISPUTE AND THE TIME IT TOOK TO GO THROUGH THE "INVESTIGATION" ENDED UP COSTING US MORE THAN WHAT WE MADE ON HER EXTREMELY FRUGAL ORDER! YES, FRUGAL! SHE ORDERED AN ITEM THAT COST HER LESS THAN $100.00. I LOST THAT $100.00 IN THE DISPUTE AND I LOST THE PRODUCT AS WELL BECAUSE SHE RECEIVED IT AND DID NOT SEND IT BACK. LASTLY, I AM ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE THAT SHE HAS COST US EVEN MORE BY POSTING BS CLAIMS AND BAD REVIEWS ABOUT US. ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT SHE WAS BY FAR, THE WORST CUSTOMER I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH IN THE ALMOST 30 YEARS I HAVE MANAGED THIS BUSINESS!!!

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR IS THAT WE HAVE SUFFERED GREATLY! WE HAVE SUFFERED FINANCIALLY DUE TO THE LOSS OF OUR PROJECT AT THE ACADEMY AND WE HAVE SUFFERED EMOTIONALLY DUE TO THE LOSSES WE HAVE ENDURED IN THE LAST 2 YEARS! WE HAVE ALSO SUFFERED PHYSICALLY DUE TO THE STRESS AND PAIN THIS HAS CAUSED. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SICK IN MY LIFE, YET IN THE LAST YEAR, I'VE BEEN HOSPITALIZED 3 TIMES AND I HAVE BEEN IN THE ER AT LEAST 8-10 TIMES. I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A VERY RARE CONDITION THAT HAS CAUSED ME A LOT OF ISSUES. IT HAS KEPT ME FROM WORK A LOT IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS! I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW STRESSFUL THAT HAS BEEN AND WHAT IT HAS DONE TO ME. HOWEVER, THE STRESS FROM THE BUSINESS AND THE LACK OF ANY FLUIDITY, HAS TAKEN AN EVEN GREATER TOLL ON ME BOTH PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY! ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT AND I AM SUPPOSED TO PUT MY FATHER'S NEEDS AHEAD OF MY OWN. AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT HE HAS TOLD ME I SHOULD BE DOING!  

THIS HAS ALMOST DESTROYED ME ON EVERY LEVEL! IT'S TAKEN EVERYTHING I HAD AND CHEWED ME UP AND SPAT ME OUT! I AM NOT COMPLAINING AT ALL, BUT I CANNOT HANDLE MUCH MORE OF THIS. I DESPERATELY NEED HELP! ALL I WANT IS TO COMPLETE EVERY ORDER ON THE BOOKS AND THEN CLOSE THE DOORS AND NEVER LOOK BACK. THIS WAS NOT THE CAREER I CHOSE, I WAS GUILTED INTO IT AND TOOK IT ON TO PROTECT MY MOM! SHE IS NO LONGER WITH US SO THERE IS NOTHING LEFT FOR ME TO DO. NO REASON I NEED TO STAY AROUND EXCEPT TO DELIVER ALL OF THE ORDERS ON THE BOOKS. 

I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO SELL THIS BUSINESS AND WALK AWAY WITH SOMETHING! UNFOTUNATELY, ALL I CAN SEE IS THAT I WILL COMPLETE EVERYTHING AND WALK AWAY WITH NOTHING. I WILL BE LEFT TO DEAL WITH THE DOWNFALL OF MY FATHER, WHICH I DO NOT WANT, BUT HAVE NO SAY. HE WILL NOT ACCEPT THE HELP I HAVE TRIED TO GET HIM NOR IS HE DOING ANYTHING TO BETTER HIMSELF. I AM SEPARATED FROM MY FAMILY AND DESPERATELY WANT TO BE BACK WITH THEM. THIS HAS COST ME MORE THAN I HAD TO GIVE! THAT SAID, I WILL FINISH EVERY ORDER THAT HAS COME IN AND ONCE THAT IS DONE, I WILL CLOSE THE BUSINESS. 

TO THOSE WHO HAVE BRANDED ME BY CLAIMING I HAVE LIED ABOUT OUR SITUATION AND THAT I HAVE SCAMMED PEOPLE, BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT TO BELIEVE! I DON'T CARE! I JUST HOPE THAT YOU NEVER, EVER, HAVE TO FACE TRAGEDY AND TRAUMA LIKE I HAVE. HOWEVER, JUST REALIZE THIS. KARMA IS ABSOLUTELY REAL! YOU DO NOT WANT TO TAKE THE RISK, BECAUSE TRAUMA ONLY CARES ABOUT BALANCE! IF YOU'VE UPSET THAT BALANCE, IN ANY WAY, YOU WILL FEEL KARMA'S STING. TRUST ME, IT'S NOT PLEASANT AT ALL!!!

SO, THAT IS IT! THE LAST THING I WILL SAY IS THAT I AM DEAD SERIOUS ABOUT EVERYTHING I STATED. THAT INCLUDES THAT I REALLY WANT TO SELL THIS BUSINESS. IT CAN BE A GREAT BUSINESS AGAIN! NOT LIKE IT USED TO BE BECAUSE RICK IS NO LONGER PAINTING. HOWEVER, HE HAS DONE ENOUGH WORK TO KEEP IT FRESH AND CONTINUE TO PUT OUT AMAZING ARTWORK. IF YOU WERE TO RELEASE JUST ONE OF HIS PAINTINGS PER DAY AS A NEW PRODUCT TO SELL, IT WOULD TAKE OVER YEARS TO RELEASE THEM ALL. RICK HAS DONE AROUND 4K ORIGINAL PAINTINGS IN HIS CAREER. THAT'S PLENTY TO GO ON! 

THAT SAID, IF ANYONE WANTS TO TAKE UP THE BUSINESS AND BUY THE STUDIO AND ALL THE RIGHTS, I AM ABSOLUTELY LISTENING! MAKE ME AN OFFER AND IF IT IS GOOD ENOUGH, IN MY MIND, THEN YOU BET I WILL SELL! WITH THE RIGHT MARKETING AND THE RIGHT TEAM, IT CAN EASILY BE A MILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS PER YEAR! HELL, YOU CAN EVEN TAKE RICK! HE COMES WITH THE BUSINESS AND IS STILL ABLE TO TALK! MAYBE HE CAN START CREATING AI ARTWORK. HE CAN TELL SOME ELABORATE STORY AND TURN IT INTO A MASTERPIECE! I DON'T KNOW IF AI HAS THE ACTUAL BANDWIDTH TO KEEP UP WITH HIS ABILITY TO EMBELISH A STORY, BUT HEY! WHO KNOWS!!! JOKING ASIDE, I DO WANT TO SELL THIS THING AND GET SOMETHING OUT OF IT. THAT IS SERIOUS! IF YOU ARE THE ONE, CONTACT ME THROUGH THE SITE OR ON FB MESSENGER. 

THAT'S ALL!
