I have got to start being more tactful

Boobie inspector
Just blown a book deal where I would have provided illustrations because I shot my mouth off.

I thought artists were allowed to be cantankerous and crotchety.

I have been misinformed.

Rich, rubbing people up the wrong way online since 1998.
 
Call them up and apologize.. tell them you were hopped up on painkillers because of your surgery.
 
What did you shoot your mouth off about? It would be funny if it was Star Wars or something.
 
Rich, Cassie's advice is really good - you HAVE just had surgery and you Are hopped on on painkillers! (and we love u just the way u r)
Seriously, Is it too late to contact them?



and YEAH WTF DID U SAY?!
 
I month ago I was asked to join a small team of artists to provide illustrations for a book about the future and the environment.

The guy running the team had all these ideas that he wanted making in 3D, then spent ages coming up with teh plans for them, up to the point where when the very basic hand drawn plans turned up, all the artists but me had lost interest.

I built a floating house in 3D that was resistant to flooding, then when I got to the texturing stage I asked what it should look like.

The guy said he had a cold and would get back to me.

I jokingly said "what, I have been making this stuff every day after a hernia operation, and you cant tell me what texture this should be because you have a cold?"

Then he says a load of junk about exotic materials and eco friendly building stuff, and tells me he is going to recomend books that I can get from the library, at which point I say, "Im not really intersted in books, I just want a picture of what its meant to look like, so I can make it look like it"

At which point he decided I was too advisarial for the team.

So they got rid of the only artist they had who had actually done any work.

The good news is, I will still be paid for the work I did, the bad news is none of it will be in the book, so I wont get my name in print, or receive any of the residuals, should the book be a suscess.
 
So really it's the common cold that's to blame.
 
Another reason scientists should concentrate all their research on curing the common cold.
 
the guy sounds like a first-class prat, IMHO!
 
Well assuming he keeps his word and I still get paid, I still made enough to send me and the wife on the ferry to bruges for a few days next month.
 
This guy doesn't seem very professional at all.
 
seems like a bit of a jack ass.
 
Who's he going to get to draw for him now, Batman? Because I doubt he'll do it!
 
Batman has better things to do then draw for some jack ass, IMHO!
