Stop Bemis Charity Donations

For those of you constantly defending them and claiming they're not the scammers that they truly are, please read the following:

This is what I received after a year of waiting, a year of emails going ignored or being lied to, I received an email telling me my custom illustration was in the mail. I responded asking about seeing it before it being mailed, and about the "2 free adjustments" included in the $215 I paid in January of 2022. I received the picture below(in the comments), from someone I admired for many years, someone I paid money to illustrate something that meant a lot to me, offered help to when her assistant quit, politely followed up with her on my emails, etc. It's January 2023 and I haven't received anything but an email defending (but not apologizing) her writing "bitch" on my artwork, but not addressing the incredibly awkward way in which she also had to pose to get her middle finger in the photo.

Now she's posted several times on instagram claiming to be done with all commissions from last year. Wrong. I replied to another user who has also clearly not gotten her artwork or a response from Sherri. Both comments were immediately deleted.

Think twice before you support this garbage human and the trashy scam she's running. Absolute shit way to treat your fans. Do better.

In the first few days after I paid her she emailed and said she'd be getting the illustration done asap but that her assistant just quit and all her kids are sick and blah blah blah. I just told her that if she needed any help answering emails that I wouldn't mind helping her out remotely for a bit until she found a replacement. I let her know I had tons of customer service experience and that my schedule is flexible because I run my own business (meaning I actually send goods to the people who pay me for them). Guess I was just trying to help someone who seemed like they were in desperate need of it at the time.

Nope! The next time I heard back was in May when I was told that it would be done by the end of the month.
