ahaa yio know who ya are :P

ménage à trois

You know who you are. 

I've confronted this issue several times in the past and most people who know me know who you are already and know what you did to make me block you. 
Need I remind you that you blocked me first under the impression that 'my friends' were harassing you about copying my artwork for your commissions and YCHs. 

You blocked me and then I blocked you having dealt with your lies and deceit for 3 years previous before I finally gave up on you; seeing that you were only using me and my work to get money for yourself. 

However, it has come to my attention that despite being blocked, despite blocking me, and despite it being well over a year that you are still somehow mirroring my work with your own. 

So, let me ask you -- how is that? 

How is it that I can have you blocked and yet I had a customer of mine message me asking if I had an alt account where I was selling artwork for less money; that I was cheating them somehow? 

I'll tell you how -- You're block evading. Logging out or going to an alt account I haven't blocked and seeing my work. 
Although: You can't be logging out because you can't see my work unless you're a member of dA though. On other sites you might be able to do this but idk... 

I know this because, guess what, I logged your IP address and have a tracker that notifies me whenever your IP shows up as a visitor on certain sites I have you blocked (DeviantART, Instagram, Twitter, etc.) 
& It's been pinging for the last year quite a bit... I didn't say anything because I figured whatever, so you're stumbling onto my page, you can't see my work anyway. 

Then I got a note the other day with 'evidence' of the same shit you were doing for years. The same stuff you did that made me angry with you in the first place. 
I don't care about poses or a few similarities in other people's artwork. That's fine -- we're all inspired somewhere from someone. It's alright. 
However, you go out on a limb to mirror as much of my work's look and 'style' as you can and you sell it to people. That's what grosses me out about it. Not only me, but you're doing the same with another artists I know who is too nice to say anything about it & it's not my place to. He can confront you if he wants but I'm pretty sure he has no beef with you. I do, and you know it. 
You also know why I have one with you and why I still have one with you because you don't change. You lie to your customers and take their money for artwork you just rip off from other artists. 

You're blocked from my page on your main accounts. 
At least the ones I know of. 
I tracked your IP the first few times I was getting notes about you earlier last year. Since then I'm pretty sure I have had about 145 email pings about your incognito visits.
Yeah, you can block your account name if I don't know it but you can't block your IP fully and since I've had stalkers before I made sure to find something to help me know when they're still around in the best way I can. 

If I keep getting pings about your visiting my pages I'll report you here with the proof I have of your block evading. dA might not do a damned thing about it but I may also write you up on a beware site as well due to the fact you cannot get it through your head that I want nothing to do with you. You know this but you're still doing the same shit you've done for the last 5 years. You don't change and that's sad as hell. 
Leave me and my work out of yours and stop using it as a baseboard for your commissions and shit you sell! 
I am not your personal reference piece to make money. You're old enough to know better. 

Don't deny it because the proof is in the pudding. People are asking me about it more than ever lately and while I'm following the damn rules by not bothering with your page or work, its been sent to me via screenshots and texts by others who are concerned I'm cheating them out of money be selling cheaper lower quality work on a different account. 
That says something. 
& no, this isn't just strangers -- these are clients I'm working with or HAVE worked with. Some are also concerned friends who watch BOTH of us and are wondering what's going on.
Most I ignore but this is getting annoying. 

I blocked you and you blocked me well over a bloody year ago -- stop visiting my page(s)!




Alright, sorry to everyone who had to trudge through this but honestly... I'm up to my ears with this person's bullshit. I've tried many times to leave it alone and let it go but they keep popping up over and over and over and over and over again.
They're blocked and yet they're still selling work that's basically a ripoff of mine -- EVEN MY CURRENT 'STYLE'. Somehow it's mirroring that to the point of people asking about it despite being blocked.
So, they're block evading and it's gross.

This is your final warning, kiddo. I don't want to report you but holy shit, stop. It's pathetic really. You started this whole blocking thing and I thought we were done. Apparently not.
You just can't stop, can you?

Alright, I'm off. I had to say something because I know you're watching and people will say something about this to you. I want you to know you've been caught red handed and I'm on my last straw here.

PS: BTW -- I don't want to hear from you, I don't want to hear from your friends or white-knights and I'll block every one of them if I they try. I want you to leave me alone once and for all and stop breaking rules to get what you want. I don't want apologies, you had thousands of times and used them and then lied repeatedly to stave off my concerns just enough so you could keep doing what you did.

To everyone else, if I haven't blocked you -- Better yet, if you're reading this...This isn't about you. So, no need to worry.

I am not sharing names publicly because I DO NOT want this person harassed or bothered. Do not ask me to share their name publicly as I will not do it. If you know who they are, fine -- DO NOT SHARE THEIR NAME AT ALL or I will hide the comment.
Please, respect this?
Thank you.
