New Video! Please Watch. Cricket Media SCAM

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@Laurel-Aylesworth thanks Laurel! Honestly, I got zero projects from my “exposure” from cricket. A whole waste of my time, effort, and resources. I would love if you guys could take them to court or something. What they’re doing is just disgusting and illegal.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

So... Cricket just paid me. there's a lesson to be learned here. If a client won't pay you, make a a YouTube video dragging them through the mud lol

[NessIllustration]

@Nyrryl-Cadiz LOL that's hilarious! Too little too late though if you ask me!

[Jeremy Ross]

Interesting @Nyrryl-Cadiz ! Payday is always a good day!

Did they ask you to take down the video, and if not, do you intend on taking it down?

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@NessIllustration right?!

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@Jeremy-Ross I totally agree. they didn't ask me to take it down tho. but even if they did, I would not take it down without a fight it's staying up as a warning to anyone who wants to work with cricket

[NessIllustration]

@Nyrryl-Cadiz They would have no right to demand that - the payment is in exchange for the illustrations which you have already delivered! They're free to offer something else in exchange for that if they wish, and you'd be free to refuse

[Laurel Aylesworth]

Congrats on getting paid! I have an alert of my calendar in June to start pestering them about payment.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@Laurel-Aylesworth all the Best to you Laurel. Keep us posted. ️

[ArtistErin]

@Nyrryl-Cadiz Congratulations Nyrryl!!!! That's my decision also! Pester them. @Laurel-Aylesworth would you mind posting your pester letter when you have put together? I may need it!

[Laurel Aylesworth]

@ArtistErin lol - yes, happy to

[Laurel Aylesworth]

@Laurel-Aylesworth Hey @Nyrryl-Cadiz - it's time for me to start hounding Cricket for payment of one of my projects. May I ask whom you contacted over there?

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@Laurel-Aylesworth hi Laurel! ️ Try this email accountspayable@cricketmedia.com

[Gabby Correia]

I am struggling with them now! I also did a few illustrations for them last year for their August Ladybug magazine and still waiting on payment. I've threatened a few times that I will name and shame them, but all I get in response is that they are having cash flow issues and that they assure me that I will get paid. When??? 10 years from now? They can't give me a timeframe. So frustrating! They owe me $1800

[Laurel Aylesworth]

@Nyrryl-Cadiz Thank you!

[Laurel Aylesworth]

@Gabby-Correia Gabby, who did you contact about payment? I'm dealing with Sue Beck as the art director, but she never responded about the payment due...so this morning I emailed the accounts payable address Nyrryl provided.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@Laurel-Aylesworth Hi Laurel. Yup, I also worked with Sue Beck.

[Laurel Aylesworth]

@Nyrryl-Cadiz I'm guessing she wasn't super helpful.

[Gabby Correia]

@Laurel-Aylesworth "Accounts Payable" are the only ones that respond... eventually, but they just respond with fluff or automated emails anyway.

[Gabby Correia]

@Laurel-Aylesworth I was dealing with Shavan Spears who put me in contact with Accounts
