3.5 count that THREE AND A HALF YEARS for a commission
12 years ago
Yes you read that right I've been waiting for THREE AND A HALF FUCKING YEARS for a commission form one artist here. I shal not name here but will call her FF.
I commissioned FF for two pieces in November of 2010 for a total of OVER $190plus plus a tip IN advanced. Yes you read that right over ONE HUNDERD AND NINETY DOLLARS PLUS. I know there was more but I am unable to remember the exact total def in excess of $200 that I am sure of.
Every time I send an email at fist it was "I'm working on it" or "could you resend me the info" I then posted a deal on the ARTISTS BEWARE page in the private/members only area after waiting about 1 year. Why the private/members only? Well I figured not everybody needed to see it. But I then get an email saying that it was "low""inconsiderate" and "rude" because I did and did not email FF at all about it. Also through all of this FF is opening for more and more commissions getting that art done nut not mine.
So after that I decided to just say fuck it and whatever but the longer I left it the more I realised that its not ok just just say that. But I would just push it to the back of my mind and not worry about it. To the point that iI forgot all about them and moved on.
Well that was all fine and dandy up until about 3 weeks ago. Why well I had nothing to do at work and came across the email when I decided to clean out the old emails and I came across it. Do I decided to email FF back and demand for them to be finished. And guess what happened. That's right I got no reply bit figured that I would give FF a week to reply. A week goes by and nothing. So I called FF out on Twitter. Why? Why not, there are a good amount of furs following me, 358 to be exact, and some of them are well know. Even if just 100 saw the tweets and told others that's over 100 that know. I told my side of the story and got replies saying to just demand my money back. But being the nice guy that I am I gave them 2 weeks. Well the two weeks were up on Wednesday of last week, June 19th 2013. And guess what nothing not a reply, email, PM or note here. So now I am writing this Journal for EVERYONE too see and just say WATCH OUT FOR FF SHE IS A THEIF. If you want to know who they are I will only reply in a note.
AS FOR YOU FF I HAVE OPENED A TT HERE AND REPORTED YOU YOU ALSO OWE ME AT LEAST $190 I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING ELSE THAN A REFUND PERIOD.
As for any admins reading I am more than willing to talk to you about all of this.

Honestly... at a certain point, you should just name them. It's helpful to warn others about artists that scam money from people and ruin business etiquette. They no longer deserve privacy or any considerations. Whether it ruins their reputations or not, it's a seed that they've sewed and have proven to no longer care about following through and thus... my reap the repercussions of their actions.

Also, I already know whom it is (cuzz.. y'know... twitter), but you should make it publicly known here as well.

If I did here on FA the journal would be taken down and I would prob be suspended. But I agree 189% with what you are saying.

Good for you. Your money (and, in essence, your time) is yours. Take charge of the debts owed to you and get back what is yours.

You should publicly name the artist and expose the person for exactly what they are; A thief.
