So it's come to my attention that there's another impersonator on Flickr:

[link]

The account has been deleted, but not before he or she contacted a lot of people (many my professional peers) and models saying arrogant and uncharacteristic things...

these are also not me:
[link]
[link]

This is my only Flickr account: [link]

The most annoying thing about this is that the person took a lot of my biographical info and copied and pasted a lot from my online profiles... they also reposted a lot of old and obscure photos.

I just got an email from an artist on Deviant Art:

"I just got a strangely bitchy and egotistical message on a photo of mine over on Flickr from "you"

Now it may well be you but when I look at your bio there it's the biggest load of egotistical rubbish I've ever read. When I come back and read your latest journal entry here it is positively eloquent in comparison.

It's hard to see the bloke that wrote this also treating a photo sharing site as a dating site & spouting the crap that is in that bio over there.

So I'm thinking that maybe someone has set up an account on flickr as "you" and is trying to stir people up and give you a bad name?

The account is [link]

If it really is you then I'd advise you to stop drinking, or get back on your psych medication or *shrugs* I just hope it's a prank because if not you've just taken a whole bunch of steps in the direction of becoming a complete and total wanker.

Cheers,

So if you got some weird message from someone you think might be pretending to be me, feel free to contact me at lithium at lithiumpicnic dawt com if you have any concerns about authenticity.

If you actually do see me out somewhere drunk making an ass of myself or wearing a lampshade on my head... All I can say in advance is... I'm sorry.

It seems as though you have the worst luck ever! People should mind their own business.

D*mn! that bites serious butt!! Good luck with it all, I hope it gets sorted very quickly and properly. No-one needs this kind of thing, least of all someone who treats others as well as you do.

to be imposed on means your just too damn good.
many people wish that others would claim their work as their own.

however belligerence is intolerable.

Doesn't seem to be your year really, does it? :( Well, the bright side is 2009 is almost here and thus, a hearty time to drink!

On a lighter note, on the subject of impersonators, I hear Spartacus had it worse ;).

Okay okay, i'm going :P
*hangs head dejectedly*

Sorry to hear what happened, some people just have too much time on their hands... and they are bastards.


Anyway, so what is the latest on the lawsuit against this Chinese company that steals your works?
