Grendel commission by Shelton Bryant: 13 years and nothing yet!

Ciao Enrico, certo che ne hai di pazienza io l'havrei mandato al f..... già da diversi anni :)

sei un grande, ricordami la prima volta che ci vediamo che ti devo un caffè la pazienza va sempre premiata :)

un abbraccio Claudio

P.S. Lake Como si farà?

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. 

Happy anniversary?

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.
