You should take immediate steps to protect yourself. Do not ignore any of the letters you have received. If you have a copy of the articles of dissolution, forward it to the interested parties. I would also suggest sending a cease and desist letter to this "ex-partner." You are likely to be able to prevent him from continuing to use your old artwork and other intellectual property that you have an ownership interest in.

I would suggest speaking with an attorney who practices business law. If you used an attorney to set-up/dissolve your corp., that might be a good place to start.
