Don't get it twisted. You don't "make" anything. You're a thief, of course you're going to continue what you're doing. Has nothing to do with whether or not I like the stuff you stole, it only has to do with the fact that it's stolen and you're a bad intentions grifter. Your whole timeline here from making somewhat your own customs, to going full out steal everything under the sun, is clear for everyone to see just on the last page alone.

Your entire agenda here is only that. An agenda. You're a pariah. Theres almost zero percent chance you don't do the same exact thing you'e calling out PiggyBanx for. Your moral compass already proves to be non existent

Nice to see you put your full spam message out there in a blaze of glory like a true scammer, which is your entire agenda.

Even with your 600 plus followers, not a single person liked any of your rants. No wonder you're here. Come to think of it, none of your garbage tweets get any likes. GO AWAY KARDYEWEST KARDYEWESTCUSTOMCARDS IS A SCAMMER

Seriously. Go away.
thats an insane comparison and overexaggarated exponentially to what i did. Piggyspanx = piggyspanx vs kardyewest =kardywestthegrifter.

Do i smell bacon?

Piggybanx got my account shut down. I made an account piggyspanx as a joke. Card art is a gray area of people stealing and using trademarks. I made piggyspanx and put POOP on the label and a few other jokes. You dont like the idea that im willing to speak up about it. EVER person that has been against me on this has been found out to be a piggyshill.

Shouldn't be a hard hurdle to clear. Seems like it already was. You sir define bad faith.

I hope PiggyBanx gets ya and btw I hope he gets got too if he's guilty.

Thanks for getting me to 1000 posts.

This thread delivers at every level.


Lawyer Dad suddenly coming to the realization that his aceo IRA was a sham after dropping 6 figs on JD Vance Kablam!s was the coup de foudre.

LMAO, i leave for a few hours and come back to the wildest tangent ever in this thread. I liked it better when we made fun of Piggybanx pretending to be an artist / real business.

In fact, I wonder if this Hartmann guy was sent here to bury the juicy info in this thread with this confusing spam.

It was piggyspanx's alt (hence why both are now PBM's).


Piggy actually pm'd me the court docket awhile back since I was in disbelief that any of this was real. Well it's real.


I hope the judge holds both of them in contempt and orders them held on newly imposed fraud charges.

Are you kidding me?! Piggy himself PM'd you the court docket? I am in total disbelief now. I can't imagine someone copping to sueing this Spanx guy. I am shook. What did I stumble upon here, wow.

Pretty sure he's referring to piggyspanx the scammer grifter also known as Kardyewest, not piggybanx. That's what my reading comprehension got me anyway.

I saw all this AI talk and then I saw this weird design of a Heart that looks like a rolex... that PIGGYBANX (the real PIGGY BANX) recently released...

So I did a little investigating...

Some basic things about rolex were blatantly inaccurate so I had to find an AI detector...

This is what it said -

Indicators of AI Involvement
• Imperfect Text Rendering: The “ROLEX” plate looks slightly off, with uneven embossing and inconsistent typeface edges — a common giveaway of AI generation.
• Unnatural Object Fusion: The way the gears, straps, and dials are melted together feels more like an AI collage than a hand-constructed digital illustration. Human artists usually design smoother transitions.
• Hyper-realistic Yet Stylized: The piece has a polished, photorealistic texture with painterly gradients in the background — a frequent characteristic of AI art trained on both photography and illustration datasets.
• Detail Density: The micro-gears and components are rendered with extreme complexity, but some areas lose functional logic (like overlapping gears that wouldn’t actually move). That’s often an AI signature.

FINAL TAKE: This specific piece is AI-generated. The odd text rendering, surreal fusion of elements, and polished-yet-illogical detail density are classic signs. If not straight AI, it was very likely composed with AI as a base, then refined digitally.

Looks like Piggybanx uses AI.

I mean, I've been saying that since page 1. It's blatantly obvious to anyone that has any remote experience using it.

Does anyone actually think that basement 'artists' like this that pop out of nowhere are able to organically churn out 30+ designs a day? They were nowhere to be found pre-2023.

Basic common sense, apart from the obvious tell-tale inaccuracies generated by learning models.


You'd think people would have learned after NFT's. But time and time again, society proves they have the attention span of an 8 year old. 15 minutes and the new scam's arrived to drain pockets.

Though I highly doubt the authenticity of most of these sales. Unless I'm vastly underestimating the clective IQ of the single father investor demographic.

So AI will always have its fans. And you will always need to respect those conversant in the AI arts. But it's not necessarily profitable or evolutionarily wise, in any hobby, to have AI as the template.

Anyway, I much prefer going through the Nesmith 100 for calming, creative ideation. That took about 3 weeks to complete. Which obviously seems slow.

I hear you, but I disagree. I think when people wise up to the inconsistency and deviation from factual accuracy, there will be a reckoning. Yes it looks cool at first glance, and for a lot of the flipper culture, that is all that is needed... but if they're truly art collectors, and want to be rooted in art, they'll see this piggy slop for what it is. Prompt Puke. For instance, on this Rolex piece, the crown has an inaccurate Rolex logo. This is basic stuff. Missing that makes me wonder if this guy has any sort of morals or wherewithal to even check his work. I assume he owns a Rolex, but missing that....

100% True and accurate. Most of these guys are sitting there having ideas fed to them via AI and discord. They put the prompt into AI and copy cool ideas that they see.

However, there are true artists in the space. Guys like Sharkbait Customs or the Card Carver who cut the cards and create masterpieces.

That shadowbox stuff is cool. I don't know how anyone could be that patient to create something so intricate and small.

The other piggy wanna be, nah.

These modern advancements in ACEO development got us on the verge of knocking the Byzantine Empire tf off the Kardashev scale.

Pretty soon these kardboard Thomas Edisons are gonna be reconstructing 4d Donruss bass out of recycled Yeezy slides and ww2 asbestos.



The unlicensed hobby's in good hands.

I don't know. I used to hold that same view. Til I saw Vela MS Paint filter prints tankmaxxxing on fleabay. Be lucky if you can cop 3 bucks for one round these parts. That's some Dan Colen'esque type fleecing, playboi.
