    Designers, Cartoonists, Everybody ! Read this

    If you work for someone, he expect you to do the job, right ?...that's what I did. After the job is done, I expect to be paid, is that normal ? ...that's he didn't do.

    The excuse is : " ok, i did not use and am not using your design."

    That guy wanted a tattoo (for his back)...I did what he want... he loved it ! show him a preview and ask for the payment... he says I'm finishing my arm tattoo and then i pay you. I'm like ...uh ok ...A few months later, he ignore my msgs... I say i wanna be pay and then he says :"ok, i did not use and am not using your design. I wont pay for something i'm not using.".

    The fact is if I'm drawing something for someone who hired me. What he's doing with the design isn't of my concerns. If he's using it or not...i don't care , I put some time in this artwork.

    I did my job....he didn't.

          also maybe post his name so others dont use him. When you rip people off you get shot in foot. If someone ripped me off i would slam his name all over the board until he paid up. Good luck I added u to icq , i may need a cartoonist down road

              thanks...i was wondering if i was doing something wrong... His name is L0rd Juni0r but I think he's not on GFY anymore.

              down payment is prolly the best solution...

                Always charge 50% upfront


                Go on with your nice job and let the tatoo be a good
                portfolio to attract new prospects.

                  Sorry to hear that Benny.. I also had similar experiences.. not just once.. and after like maybe the third time.. I have already learned to ask downpayments before we do anymore drawings or designs.. sometimes people just take advantage of you when you are too nice.. or naive like me.. anyway, good luck with your biz.. next time ask upfront downpayments..
