Everybody else in the furry universe probably knows about this already, but I just found out about it a few weeks ago. Sure would have been nice to have known about it sooner.

On the off-chance that you don't, it's a LiveJournal community where you can go to report bad experiences with art commissions - whether you're an artist dealing with a troublesome or non-paying commissioner, or a fan trying to buy artwork from an artist who is being troublesome or non-responsive. I've just made a post about my incomplete statue commission from GlassjawBoxer there. Granted, he hasn't made a journal post in over a year, so he might legitimately be in dire straits of some kind - but still, I do believe that six years is more than long enough.

The downside: you do have to have a LiveJournal account to make entries, and LJ isn't as popular as it used to be - but it's still good to check out if you want to get an idea of who's working to make things right, and who isn't. They also have some useful links for their sister communities, including a comm for reporting art theft, one for working the business side of furry art, and a comm for positive reports on good commission experiences.

I'd toss up a link, but if you Google the comm name, it's the first one that comes up. Which brings me to another point: how sad is it that this fandom not only has such a heavy need for such a community to exist, but that it's so heavily utilized?
