Gather all the artists affected and take him to court for violating contract and not paying out. I knowna few good too many artists who took part in this and it's utter nonsense this is happening to them. Their art is being sold for someine else's profit. It's theft and just downright wrong.
We have a discord going with many of the artists, and I believe Kei is getting in contact with a few of them via email letting them know where things stand. Legal action is being considered, and I can confirm that some artists who have left are still finding their prints being sold. Inkedfur has an Ebay account ( i cannot say how often it is used) but we found several daki's there from members who had left inkedfur.

The snark in his last message about creating your own artbook and keeping all the royalties doesn't illicit much confidence in his professionalism. He seems to be completely missing the point that they made promises as a company, and these promises are falling flat and are not holding up to the expectations that he created in the first place.
Their unwillingness to share sales figures, that you've asked them to do multiple times, is also REALLY suspicious.
Yeah the unwillingness to share sales figures, Even with Kei who has asked and was staff, is very very fishy. He is trying to work out a deal with Kei now as 'he is the only one who actually signed a contract with Inkedfur' and has gone silent to the rest of us at this time. I believe (I dont have the figures in front of me at this moment) that he was offering like.. 800 to be split for the royalties of the 80 books left in stock. But he has supplied no proof that he has.. 80 books? And nothing about the previous sales.
I couldnt help fighting snark with snark a bit with that last line. This wasnt about money for me, I never expected to get -much- but I did expect a bit more than 7.30 and the more questions I asked the more it became apparent things were not as they told us they would be.

Given what I personally have experienced with him, and the screenshots I have seen from others. I can believe this pretty easily. I didnt share them because they were private conversations, but I was given screenshots showing James badmouthing an artist to another when they left Inkedfur, trying to start a callout war and bad blood, as well as James going back on sales numbers and denying they happened. Saying we were only promised as little as 25% for the book for the first year and then it would go to 30% and that he never authorized a 35% sale to us.
Just, Lots of going back on his word and being unprofessional. Its pretty clear he doesnt treat artists as they should, we are just there to make money for him.
