Big red flag is "artist" tagging their own name in the posts. their bio tries to look as legit as possible, its all very Weird to do and of course staff is useless about it.

Oh, btw, if you are familiar with the artist known as “@frengchiano2″ on twitter, you may have seen a tumblr account by the same name. However, that account is not actually owned by freng, but is actually an impersonator, as confirmed by freng on twitter.

The impersonator’s tumblr account looks pretty legitimate at first glance, given that it has a link to the artists’ actual twitter and email address, and even has art posts that are tagged in a style consistent with actual artists, and the post history goes back years.

This person has apparently been playing the long game, and has recently been using the account to leave inflammatory remarks on people’s posts. I’m not entirely sure what the ultimate goal was, but I imagine this person either wanted to tarnish freng’s reputation, or they wanted to use a pretty well known artist’s image to put more weight behind otherwise low effort trolling.

So if you were like me and was following this blog for the art, thinking that the account actually belonged to the artist, and was concerned by the seemingly out of character inflammatory remarks they made, rest assured that this is not the actual artist behaving this way, but just an impersonator. You can feel free to unfollow or even block this user, because the artist’s works can be found on the artist’s twitter and elsewhere on tumblr by people who repost with permission.
