Chances are that a lot of you have drawn or worked for other people and that within those experiences have found some fuckin' hilarious work situations.

Are there some war stories you have where someone has given you a request out of left field/out of the ballpark/beyond the stars? With this being F.A. I'm sure the answer is, 'Yes,' and I'd like to know what they are, whether in the context of work or in the context of FA commissions. I can't say I would condone being a jackass about your own clients so I mean this in a "humorous instances" way and not "Let's bitch about bad customers" way, that's for other corners of the internet.

There is a huge street side billboard advertising a realtor compliments of my workplace, ... but she looks like a fucking Edvard Munch painting and it's hands down the best ad I've ever made because of this. She is not too keen on her physical appearance, apparently, so when she sent me her photograph that she wanted in the ad, she must have taken it in paint or photoshop and scaled it to half-width to make her appear more slender. Because resizing was all she did she looked like some sort of freakish slenderman dumpster baby. I popped it back to a proportional size and made the ad to her specifications and sent her a proof. No, no, put the photo back "slender", I don't like how I look when in the original proportions, she says. She's nice about her nitpickiness, but ultimately hers is one of those "Just go with it, man," cases. She wasn't willing to pay for the photoshop retouch of making her look slender (understandable) in a way that wasn't jury rigged so I just, ... Scaled it the way she asked me to. The next revision she makes is to superimpose her in front of a red sunset comparable to this: http://www.passionating.com/wp-cont.....red_sunset.jpg

She picks a photo she took herself and must have ran through a photoshop filter. Blissfully unaware is she that her red sunset looks to the uninformed eye like a horrible fucking lake of hellfire. So there's this 10' x 44' The Scream Realty billboard out there somewhere in Texas that is so atrocious but I can't look at it and not just, be so fucking proud of it. It seriously looks like The Scream, man. It's the best.
