Best next moves

Priority 1 instagram

Verify @tannermakesart as the primary identity anchor

This account has the strongest evidence chain: exact handle, exact display name, matching bio, matching creator links, and a direct person-search hit for Tanner Gilliland.

https://www.instagram.com/tannermakesart
Priority 2 website

Review the Linktree for creator-network expansion

The Linktree is the best pivot for mapping the subject’s wider presence because it ties Instagram, TikTok, Etsy, YouTube, Venmo, and a secondary Instagram profile together.

https://linktr.ee/tannerg_art
Priority 3 instagram

Check @tommy_tafoya for repeated collaboration signals

This account appears repeatedly in tags and looks like one of the subject’s closest visible collaborators, so it is a high-value network pivot.

Audit audience quality on @tannermakesart

The profile looks authentic, but no follower-quality analysis was provided, so a bot and spam review would close the main remaining credibility gap.

Investigate the secondary Instagram link boi_howdi

The Linktree includes this account, but the relationship is unclear from the available evidence, so it is worth checking for personal or project overlap.

Risks & recommendations

Identified Risks

4

⤷ 4 additional risks found in this analysis

Identity fraud

Unlikely

Low immediate risk of impersonation from the available evidence, but any future account takeover or clone profile could exploit the established creator brand.

Horizon: Near-term

Reputation

Likely

Because the profile is tied to commissions, prints, and sales, credibility problems would likely affect income quickly.

Horizon: Mid-term

Audience verification

Roughly even chance

Audience quality remains unproven without follower-source or bot-analysis data, so engagement inflation cannot be ruled out.

Horizon: Near-term

Platform linkage exposure

Likely

The linked ecosystem makes the subject easier to verify, but it also creates a broad attack surface for phishing or clone accounts.

Horizon: Mid-term

Recommendations

3

⤷ 3 recommended courses of action

Confirm creator identity and reduce ambiguity

3 steps

Use the strongest anchors first: the Instagram profile, the Linktree, and the repeated art-sale branding. Those three together already support a high-confidence attribution to Tanner Gilliland.

Archive the Instagram bio, username, and visible link list. Capture the Linktree page and all outbound links. The username changes.

Test audience authenticity

3 steps

The account looks authentic, but the available evidence is not enough to confirm audience quality. A follower and engagement audit would close that gap.

Sample recent commenters for real-person signals and profile completeness. Check follower growth for sudden spikes. A sudden follower jump without a corresponding content event.

Map the creator network

3 steps

The repeated collaborators around @tommy_tafoya and @zelphontheshelf_ are the most useful next pivots for understanding the subject’s real-world context.

List the most frequent tagged accounts. Separate close collaborators from one-off tagged guests. A collaborator account is deleted or renamed.
