#OnThisDay 13 years ago, I finished this painting of my favorite cat in the whole world. I'm pleased to report that Mookie is still alive and still my best cat. He belongs to my in-laws and I get to scritch his fluffy face (and belly) at least a few times a month.

*UPDATE: According to some wonderfully helpful people here, you can't actually help me. Unless you can figure out how to get Meta to pay attention to an IP violation, IG doesn't care about the impersonation, because I'm not on IG and therefore, to them, I don't exist. (Next, IG will come after me to say I'm impersonating Gwenn The Painter. Blergh.)
Thank you for trying!

IF YOU ARE ON INSTAGRAM, will you do me a favor?
I left IG years ago and made a big deal out of it: https://gwennseemel.com/delete-facebook-instagram/
It turns out there's someone impersonating me on IG, using my art and my old handle. I've tried reporting them to Meta, but the robot who's running things can't match the handle with my name on my official ID.
Will you report this profile? https://www.instagram.com/gwennpaints/

#OnThisDay 16 years ago, I finished this large painting of a Russian-American man as an astronaut, but I painted like Chagall might have done so. It was copied by a kid who then sent me their copy and asked for advice, and I loved the whole experience: https://gwennseemel.com/blog/2011/1113-learning-copying/
