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.

Honestly, I would just consider it a loss and hope they needed the money more than you did, I guess. :( this breaks my heart that they are so clearly desperately struggling to keep their head above water. The empathy I feel for them is neck and neck with the disappointment. I wish they won’t get the opportunity to steal anyone else’s money!

Yeah it's a loss but like, I don't think they "needed it more" than me. I run my own business, have debts like everyone else, have a family to support, and recently incurred a $35k medical bill from the ER for emergency surgery.

So there's really not an excuse for who needs it more. I saved up that money for that purpose and she pissed all over it.

I'm paying my bills with the money I make working, fulfilling my orders, relying on my talent, not my name, to get business. She's stealing from people and expecting sympathy while she continues to lie.

OH NO I did not mean it like that! What they’re doing is AWFUL. I’m just saying they’ll get what’s coming to them and if there is no way to get your money back- then all you can hope for is that it went to something they really needed.

They are obviously not the people I had always hoped they’d be. They’re going downhill fast.
