Look familiar?
Way to go, champ. And what the hell is up with the photo he's using on the "about" page? I mean, I'm not Brad Pitt, but this guy looks like he should live under a bridge.

You made it ! You're famous ! You're an accomplished artist ! Are you going to thank him or threaten to send an affidavit ? 
Edit : OR.. you could see this as a (fare) mirror for your website  eheh sorry.. if it makes you feel any better, some of my coworkers were infuriated upon hearing about this

Or maybe this is an elaborate cover up. You get the guy drunk, force him to live under a bridge and steal his incredible life-style and identity...hmm, who's the real balistic???

Wow. He didn't just rip you off either, the TRON image belongs to Ed Lynch
Man, I'm sooooo jealous you got ripped off before me.

| Man! That's the most blaitent rip off I've seen yet. He didn't even erase out your name very well, sheesh! So what can you do when someone does this? Does the fact that he's in a different country make it more difficult to take some kind legal action should it come to that? |

I agree with lalPooo, or feed him some sort of tampon.
This'd be really f@cked if it was some big joke on Ballistic.
Oh, btw...

Pat: you gave him way too much charisma.
I should mail Ed . . . he'd probably get a kick out of "I play frisbee and I won first prize in 3dsmax art show"

That thought had crossed my mind, but I can't think of anybody who hates my guts enough to pull such a robust prank. Plus, someone from Sweden on the Something Awful forums managed to find his phone number

He is swedish according to the text, there are not that many named "Mejia" as last name in sweden, only 34 and only 1 living in G�vle. So if he was stupid enough to actually use his real name then this is his phonenr:
Edgardo Mejia
+46 (0)26-109146

Looks like his site's been taken down, either by him or his ISP. The SA goons certainly have a knack for "archiving" offending web pages. Fortunately, I took screen shots. Maybe I'll dedicate some space on bprince.com to him next time I do a site redesign.
You know it's not so much the nose that bugged me about that picture, but more the whole pale/hooded/flash photography melange that it's got going on. Truly an image of hell if I ever saw one.

I'm deeply sorry Craig, but I just couldn't resist this corny joke...
Everybody nose better than him than to stick up a mug like that on the site.

Btw brian, talking about being ripped off:
Do the Hash people have the rights to use your work as publicity material for Animation Master? I saw your picture (desert bunker thing) on their stand at this years 3d-festival, but I didn't have a camera to document it.
Just curious. I'm a total paranoid...I uess it's these internet times, hehe.

Sukhoi: Yeah, Hash is allowed to use my stuff. Sometimes I wish they wouldn't use the crap I did back when I was 18, but they have odd tastes . . .
Bare Bonez: someone stumbled across the site and e-mailed me about it.
