Description

Now, this should really get a prize: we're onto the THIRTEENTH (13th!!!) YEAR since I ordered two commissions from SCAMMER SUPREME Shelton Bryant.

On May 12, 2009 (yup, twenny-o-nine!), I paypaled him $250 for a Zappa and a Grendel commissions and, up to some time ago (until when I bothered trying to get updates, that is), all I received was excuses, excuses and more excuses: family problems, unexpected humps, more family troubles, the cat has died, an effin' tsunami hit town, dog ate my commissions, "I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!" and so on and on and on: y'know, the full enchilada of deadbeat artists.
In the meantime Shelli-boy kept cranking out his cra...stuff to put on Ebay or on CAF. Tons of it, but nothing for me.

He could've done the right thing, namely refund payment (because after all that time I sure couldn't give a lesser doo-doo about the art anymore), and act like a grown-up for once. But he did not, so here it is.
Hope this saves some fellow collectors the pain of being separated from his/her money in exchange for nothing.

Eh, Claudio, lo già mandato a quel paese più e più volte, ma è uno di quegli stronzi a cui dei clienti non frega un accidente. Ma il caffè ci sta sempre!
PS: si farà, si farà!  :)

Why would you pay for a commission of this guy anyhow? Hope you get your money back.

For a short period he turned out a few which were most definitely not his usual rehashed pap, and those prompted me to order a couple. Unfortunately, after 11 years, I don't think I'll ever see anything from him, but every once in a while it is my pleasure to inform other collectors.

Very sorry this happened to you, Enrico. I'm getting jerked around by an artist at the moment and it sucks. 11 years?!?! Disgusting.

Well, at least they are still alive so you might get something. I paid more for a commision and got nothing. The artist has since died so thats money down the tubes. Will cross my fingers that you get something Maybe he thinks hes Leonardo, who took the money and ran too. A well known dealer robbed me too. These things unfortunately happen.

Che schifo....11 years..my god! Unica magra consolazione, i suoi pezzi avrebbero sfigurato nella tua collezione Enrico!

Thank you- appreciate these 'heads up' from the scammers. Stay away from Ray Lago while you are at it! it has been well over 10 years and still no Scarlet Witch or $300 (which, back then, was alot for a commission). Very sad!

Funny, I bought a piece from this guy about 13 years ago.  It was a pretty piece, and at the time it seemed like he was an up and comer.  13 years later and he hasn't done anything with his career including, apparently, completing basic basic orders for commissions.  Sad, very sad.  Sorry you got screwed.

I think I have the record however.  I bought 3 pieces of art from Alex Saviuk in 2003 and have yet to receive them.  I also have two other artists who owe me art.  One artist sale from 2018 and one from around 2009.  I feel your pain brother!!!

I'm having a problem getting a page I bought on eBay from a CAF collector Julien Beccalori 4 years ago. . I've spent the last 3 years occasionally emailing him with NO response. I saw him posing art for sale and contacted him saying I will go public. He responded 3 days ago!. He says he still has the page but may have sold it again after I purchased it. I told him I wanted him to mail the page, he said he'd mail it Tuesday. And he's not yet responded to any emails since he said he'd mail it. Does anyone know him. His responses are in broken English, is there anyone that knows him or could help me? I'm trying not to be a jerk to this guy but I don't know what to do.

Well, Nik, if you have proof of winning the auction and sending payment, post the artwork with screenshots of auction and payment on CAF with an explanation of what happened.
After three years you'd hardly be a jerk.
