So two years ago I commissioned Paiseley (http://www.furaffinity.net/user/paiseley) for several sketches to be paid upon completion. A year passed without seeing anything, and she posted asking for commissions or donations, and I reminded her about the commission and offered to pay if she would follow up with the art. $50 and a year later nothing to show for it. So I asked for a refund. Now four or five months later I haven't seen anything for my efforts except a lot of people posting shouts to her FA page saying that they too are owed refunds or massively late commissions.
Does anyone know what the heck is up with her? Has she vanished with other peoples' and my money? I mean it has been over two freaking -years- now since I commissioned her, and months and months since asking for a refund and now there's a flood of people in the same situation as me.
Edit: Her old LJ was purged and deleted, but someone just pointed me to her new LJ for contact purpose http://thatgirlmitch.livejournal.com/
Edit2: Twitter account under the same name http://twitter.com/thatgirlmitch , including tweets about buying a new car this past month. Clearly financial problems prevent giving refunds to multiple people...
Edit3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iba8dDpLyVc and she can't afford to give refunds, but she can buy tickets to see the Bosstones, their new album, and plane tickets to go fly to their show at the Boston House of Blues.
Edit4: I was given her contact info and called her tonight and left a voice mail about the commission. She texted me back saying she had no idea who I was or how I got her number and never to contact her again. I texted back with details and got a "Do Not Contact Me Again" as a reply. Trash.

I hate to say it, but I do believe you've been had. Which is unfortunate.
EDIT: Haven't you posted here about her before? Or was it someone else...

They have been harvesting themselves a pretty bad rep. :(
Maybe if you didn't have such a shitty attitude, you would get commissioners. A novel idea, isn't it?
I was thinking the same thing. If they weren't so shitty with commissions and a blatant scam artist, I'd probably commission them. The style is adorable.
I wonder what happened...if anything. I'll be watching this post for updates.
I don't think that I/my sister were the only ones never to get their icons from that one.
P.S.
She has a twitter under the same name as the LJ. Which includes regular tweets 'n stuff. -.-;

As for Paiseley, it's really a shame she's doing this-- her artwork has been nothing but fantastic. She was also posted here in
--
...I just wanted to mention too, that in that post, I was mentioning Havoc owing me something. She ended up finishing it in a matter of hours and it was MORE than perfect, so yeah.
I know Paiseley's gallery/LJ links to Havoc, but they're not the same person. Havoc's also been very nice to me this whole time. She seems very "real" and easy to talk to. No complaints.

Tsk.
Maybe everyone should come together that she hasn't done the work for and uh .. jump on the legal train?
Maybe these artist would learn not to screw with people if the commissioners took mass action. It'd be a lot cheaper than going one-on-one with her, too.
