On June 23rd 2014 I received an e-mail from a CG artist claiming that <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=153915832" target="_blank"><b>Kenneth Sullivan</b></a>, a former <b>Pixar</b> employee and current associate to the <b><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=172290456" target="_blank">Murphy brothers</a></b>, contacted him in May of 2014 and hired him to model a CG character.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://imaginearsanimationscam.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/lineup2.jpg"><img alt="" class="wp-image-311 size-full alignnone" height="211" src="https://imaginearsanimationscam.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/lineup2.jpg?w=600" width="600" /></a><br />
<br />
In his first e-mail to the CG artist, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=153915832" target="_blank"><b>Ken Sullivan</b></a>
introduced himself as the Project manager for an undisclosed short film
and mentioned two individuals, a director and a producer, but didn’t
reveal their identities. These two individuals were most likely <b><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=172290456" target="_blank">Adam and Antony Murphy</a></b>, since upon completion of his services, the CG artist was paid through a <b>paypal</b> account associated with <b><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/imaginears-animation-studio" target="_blank">Imaginears Animation Studio</a></b>.<br />
<br />
This is the Scottish Animation Studio that stole some of my artwork and tried to raise <strong>$250,000</strong> through <strong>kickstarter</strong>, without my knowledge, permission and without compensating me, in direct violation of US copyright laws. <span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show">These are the same people who repeatedly threatened to sue me for <strong>$10,000,000</strong> in an attempt to bully me and silence me.</span></span> <br />
<br />
<a href="https://imaginearsanimationscam.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/ken_01.png"><img alt="ken_01" class="size-full wp-image-317 alignnone" src="http://imaginearsanimationscam.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/ken_01.png?w=640&h=235" height="235" width="600" /></a><br />
In a following e-mail to the CG artist <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=153915832" target="_blank"><b>Ken</b></a> included an e-mail from the short film Directors, where they praised the CG artist work and once again confirmed<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=153915832" target="_blank"><b> Ken Sullivan</b></a> as their project manager. The signature to their e-mail indicated the short film’s code-name to be “<b>Project Rita</b>“.<br />
The reason why the Directors didn’t e-mail the CG artist themselves,
nor reveal their identities was most likely in order to prevent the CG
artist from googling their names and realizing they were notorious scam
artists. Similarly, the reason why <b><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=153915832" target="_blank">Ken </a></b>and the twins referred to the project as “<b>Project Rita</b>” as opposed to “<b>Steampunk AL</b>” was to avoid being associated with their previous <b>kickstarter</b> fiasco.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://imaginearsanimationscam.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/ken_021.png"><img alt="ken_02" class="alignleft wp-image-322 size-full" src="http://imaginearsanimationscam.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/ken_021-e1403638100851.png?w=640" /></a><br />
<br />
The CG artist was provided with a character package that included
turnarounds for the character and he was asked to create a CG model of
the character.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://imaginearsanimationscam.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/model_turnaround.jpg"><img alt="model_turnaround" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-316" src="http://imaginearsanimationscam.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/model_turnaround.jpg?w=600&h=338" height="338" width="600" /></a><br />
<br />
Upon completion of his services, the artist was paid through a <b>paypal</b> account associated with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/imaginears-animation-studio" target="_blank"><b>Imaginears Animation Studio</b>.</a> Out
of curiosity, the artist googled the company name, found
numerous references to their scam and immediately alerted me. His final
model is shown below.<br />
The character design that he was provided with, matches a design that appeared online on the <b>Murphy</b>‘s
now-defunct crowd-funding blog, in late 2013. A comparison between my
design, their derived design and the CG model is shown below.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://imaginearsanimationscam.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/model_comparison_02.jpg"><img alt="model_comparison_02" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-314" src="http://imaginearsanimationscam.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/model_comparison_02.jpg?w=640&h=338" height="338" width="600" /></a><br />
<br />
This is the <b>Murphy</b>‘s second attempt at deriving a CG
model from my original artwork. Below is a comparison between my
original design from 2012 and a design, that was produced in 2013 by a
paid contractor who the twins provided with my artwork and asked to
reproduce it.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://imaginearsanimationscam.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/model_comparison_01.jpg"><img alt="model_comparison_01" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-313" src="http://imaginearsanimationscam.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/model_comparison_01.jpg?w=600&h=338" height="360" width="600" /></a><br />
<br />
Upon receiving this information, I contacted <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=153915832" target="_blank"><b>Ken</b></a> through <b>Facebook</b>
and asked him if he had been in touch with the twins. He lied to me and
told me he hadn’t heard from them in a few months. I asked him about “<b>Project Rita”</b> and he suddenly stopped replying. Almost immediately the CG artist told me he got an e-mail from <b><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=153915832" target="_blank">Ken</a></b> asking him what he had told me.<br />
I asked <b><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=153915832" target="_blank">Ken</a></b> if
there was anything I could do to help him and I asked him to explain to
me why he was still working for the twins at the risk of ruining his
reputation.<br />
He never replied to my questions and shortly afterwards he blocked me on <b>Facebook</b>.<br />
<br />

<br />
I contacted him through his phone number and he admitted working for
the twins, although he referred to his position as a “liaison between
the parties”. This his despite his own e-mails where he repeatedly
referred to himself to and was referred to by the twins as “<b>Project Manager</b>” for “<b>Project Rita</b>“.<br />

<b><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=153915832" target="_blank">Ken Sullivan</a> is currently the only person I am aware of, who is still collaborating
with the twins despite being fully aware of their repeated acts
of copyright infringement, defamation and legal attempts to bully me
into silence. He chose to continue to work for them in spite of the
possibility that it could affect his professional reputation. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>On 04/25/14 I received a letter from a solicitor hired by </b><b><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=172290456" target="_blank">Adam and Antony Murphy</a></b><b>,
claiming that the twins reputation suffered irreparable damage as a
consequence to my “campaign of defamation” and demanding not less than
$10,000,000 (ten million dollars) in damages in order to offset their
financial losses.</b></span><br />

<h5>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>The letter claims that the twins are entirely responsibly

attempted to crowd-fund through kick-starter in 2013 and that my designs

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b>They claimed they were going to use my money to buy me a software license and instead bought themselves a software license which they temporarily leased to me and shortly afterwards transferred onto themselves without notifying me.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b>In conclusion it seems that Adam and Antony Murphy's </b></span><span style="color: #cccccc;"><b>reputation was not hard-earned and that their claims of irreversible damage are only traceable to their repeated misconduct regarding copyright infringement towards but not exclusively me, Pixar and Digital Tutors. </b></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div>
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;">The letter then claims that I have selectively edited and taken out of context my conversations with Adam and Antony Murphy.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;">Those claims are unfunded as I made a conscious effort to post complete unedited e-mails, including original typos, specifically with the intent to be as factual, unbiased and transparent as possible.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;">The only changes that I made to those conversations prior to posting them, were to remove personal information and to highlight passages of importance in order to dispute the claims put forth in the cease-and-desist letter.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;">The opposite can be said of Adam and Antony Murphy, who to this day haven't provided evidence in support of their claims of a binding agreement between us that would give them rights to copy, distribute and claim responsibility for my art.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b>Next the letter claims that the machine I was sold by Adam and Antony Murphy was meant to be used as a (render) node and that I knew this well before purchasing it.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b>It also states</b><b> that the software license that they purchased for me was meant to be leased and only limited to the time that I was contracted</b></span><b style="color: #cccccc;"> to work with them.</b><br />
<br />
<b style="color: #cccccc;">This is despite lack of evidence that such contract ever existed.</b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;">In order to dispute these claim I have no choice but to post several conversations that took place between me and Adam and Antony Murphy. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;">The conversations clearly demonstrate that they offered to sell me what they referred to as a "workstation" several times and advertised an incorrect graphic card (they promised a Quadro but delivered an ATI) which goes against the letter's claims that the machine was advertised as a render node before my purchase.</span></b>
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b>In regards to their spontaneous offer to buy me a Renderman Studio license with a portion of the money that I would send them for the workstation, they fail to inform me that the license would be leased and only at the condition that I would produce training material for them.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b>Their first mention that the license was essentially only leased to me occurs three months after the money transaction, after I informed them that due to the nature of the machine that they sold me I was unable to produce any training material.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b>Unsurprisingly at no point in our conversations prior to the purchase, there is a single mention of a binding contract between me and Adam and Antony Murphy and in</b></span><b style="color: #cccccc;"> fact during several of my conversations with them they specifically write:</b><br />
<b><i><span style="color: #cccccc;"></span></i></b><br />
<div>
<b><i><span style="color: #cccccc;"><b><i><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></i></b></span></i></b></div>
<b><i><span style="color: #cccccc;">
<br /> "we also purchase a renderman license, for you because we knew we couldn't repay the advice you continue to give us. And we thank you for that. :) "<br /><br /><br /> "When we get you a renderman studio license, you'll be able to make tutorials to your hearts content :O)"</span></i></b><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></i></b>
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b>Their statements don't indicate any condition to my access of the renderman license and in fact, the expression "to your heart's content" suggests an unconditional access to it.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">For almost a whole year, Adam and Antony Murphy took my art and storyboards and sent them to individuals and studios claiming it as their own and asking them to take part into a Kickstarter campaign with the intent to raise $250,000 for the production of a short film.</span><br />

10/25/13, after I successfully contacted Adam and Antony Murphy's
associates and convinced them to withdraw their support to Imaginears
Animation Studio, Adam and Antony contacted me and offered me a deal,
which I promptly refused:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #cccccc;">They
offered credit for the original story and monetary compensation as long
as I would stop interfering with their crowd-funding efforts. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #cccccc;"><i><b style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #cccccc;"><i>"</i></span></b>We will give you credit in the finished film for the work that you
contributed and a small percentage of the funds we raise from kick
starter. That way, you get the credit for your work and you get paid for
it. "</i> </span></b></div>

<br />
It has come to my attention that two Scottish individuals, <b>Adam and Antony Murphy,</b> who own a business called "<b>Imaginears Animation Studio</b>" are going around pitching a short film idea and designs that I am responsible for.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><b>This blog post was originally made on 10/26/13 and since then I created </b></span>a <a href="http://imaginearsanimationscam.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">blog</a> specifically designed for hosting the information contained in this article as well as future developments.</b></span><br />

<b>They have setup a website with the intention to crowd-fund a short film (Steampunk AL) using my original art and storyboards.</b><br />

They contacted me initially about a year and a half ago, asking me for both technical and artistic advice and I mentored them and gave them informal advice for months on end <b>*at no cost.*</b><br />

I continued to mentor them on their commercial and personal projects <b>*at no cost*</b> and share with them information about my own personal projects and art until they scammed me.<br />
<br />
<b>They sold me what turned out to be a faulty machine that they received as down-payment for a commercial project they never completed and they promised me that they would use the money to buy me a software license that I could use to make tutorials and assist them in their learning process, but instead bought </b><b>themselves an extra software license</b><b>.</b><br />
<br />
The machine I was sold was a so called "render node" a stripped down version of a desktop meant to be used as part of a render farm *NOT* for graphics/interactive work.<br />
In order to turn the machine into a workstation I had to spend an additional $1500, once again out of my own pocket<b>.</b><br />

<br />
I told them to not contact me ever again and to not associate themselves with me (as they were namedropping me in order to win clients over)<br />
<br />
Recently I discovered that they took my designs and story ideas and without my knowledge nor consent, contacted a bunch of artists and companies and asked them to collaborate on a short film that they are currently trying to crowd-fund:<br />

They seem to be comfortable ripping off artists and animation studios.<br />
Their website appears to be a ripoff from Pixar's.<br />

<br />
They were able to get artists (among which some of my friends who were unaware of the scam) paint the design above, model, rig and animate an animation test of the main character and were planning on going live with a kickstarter, with the goal to finance and produce the short film.<br />
<br />
After i successfully contacted their associates and got them to withdraw from the project and remove their association with Imaginears, Adam and Antony contacted me and offered me a deal.<br />

Because of this, I decided to put online the rough boards for my short film and re-post my original designs from about a year ago in order to be able to prove ownership of the designs and the idea.<br />
