FRAUD! This seller ( wpikn96 ) lies that he sells figures-busts painted by me! In the description of the product he subscribes by my name! I'm angry! I'm offended!

Can E-bay do anything about this? This is blatant fraud if I ever saw it!

I've already reported it to E -bay.

Beautiful work Olga some very lucky people no own the figures.
I am shocked that people are now Pirating painters, the piracy of resin/metal figures is well known but this is something new, I hope you manage to stop these people soon.

I suspect it is the same guy using two Ebay accounts Olga.

Good luck, hope you get him taken down, the Chinese copy everything from Intellectual property to Painted figures.

Unfortunately it's big business in China. I understand hundreds of thousands of people are involved in copying other peoples work. They don't see anything wrong with it.

 

[Jimmy S]

what bust where they selling?

 

[Nap]

I've already reported it to E -bay.

Zernia ...disgusting isn't the word , he has nothing listed now at the moment so hopefully your complaint has worked

You are so right to be angry and offended

You are a wonderful artist whose work holds pride of place in many display cabinets .

Keep painting

[Richard Baxter]

Wonderful work, as ever. You should write a book explaining your techniques. I hope that these fraudsters get what they deserve.

This has been shared over in the Treefrog Treasures Toy Soldier forum, too. There is a body of collectors of Russian pieces (eg, Aero-Art, et al) and they spotted the scam, too.

Prost!

This is awful. To the extent there is something of lemonade to be made from lemons it’s causing my wife and I to become interested in buying your work..I’ve never thought much beyond my own daubing, but owning a piece of yours would be wonderful

 

[Tecumsea]

I have five of Olga's pieces and would say that she is among the best figure painters in the world. I also have several other St Petersburg Studio pieces beautifully painted as only the Russians can but lacking the light and shade and original artistry that Olga puts into her figures. I Guarantee my friend that you will not be disappointed and will acquire a piece by one of the best if not the best, especially her Japanese pieces which are unique works of art.

Thankyou Keith. I’ve been following her work..and agree..the St Petersburg group does wonders but Olga stands out...and to think she has a career of how long still before her?
Much of what the more amateurish of us..that means me...do represents a mix of history, romance, losing oneself in an innocent yet engaging pastime..but then there are proper artists. And a tradition that has been around for ages albeit perhaps cast in other genres. Zernina is in that group..

 

[Tecumsea]

I agree there are painters and artists in this hobby-the Artists produce pieces with the wow factor while we mortals just hang in and try to learn something.

Just noticed..another of Olga’s pieces on ebay ..$15 from China...cripes.
