Well, you will never believe who called and left a message on my cell phone this evening.

 

I will call him tomorrow and try to get something worked out.

 

In his defense, he was extremely apologetic. I won't go any further into it at this time, but he wants to make it right, and to make it right for another person who joined the boards only in an attempt to contact me. It appears that they are/were in the same boat as me. Hopefully Bill will do the right thing now that he is aware that it has become a big issue.

 

I will let you know what I find out tomorrow Belinda.

 

Scott

Well, fast forward to today, 11/14/2010.

 

I finally have my sketch. Bill was in attendance at the Austin con and I spoke to him yesterday about our previous phone conversation from last year and that I would still like to have my sketch. I told him that I didn't care what it was, a creature of some sort of his creation, I just wanted my sketch that I paid for three years ago. He remembered the situation, was very apologetic, and told me to come back to pick it up today. I did so, shook his hand, and went on my merry way. I showed it to a couple of guys at the con, including Richard (Bedrock), who seemed to like it, or the story that goes with it anyway.

 

Well, here it is, tell me what you think... :insane:

Well, I guess I have finally reached a point where I know it is never going to happen.

 

I met Bill at Wizard World Texas in November, 2007. I have always admired his work and he has been one of my favorite "modern" artists. I paid him for a sketch and requested that he do whatever he liked. I wasn't picky, I just wanted something by him that was nice. I gave him my contact information and phone number and he gave me his email address and the address of his assistant Eric Knight.

 

Time goes by, I have a few emails with Eric and one with Bill. They both say that the sketch is coming. A year passes...still no sketch. I write to them again. No response. I write a few more times....no response.

 

I decided to try Bill one last time this morning to let him know how let down and disappointed I was. The email bounced back as his address is no longer valid.

 

If anyone sees Bill at a show, tell him Scott in Texas really appreciates getting screwed over and for losing his money that he paid him in good faith.

 

Thanks for reading my rant.

 

By the way, Stronguy told me that this would occur. Live and learn.

 

 

Good ol' Sinky's been doing this for a while now. If it's any consolation, and I know it's not, you're not the only one he's done this to. Glad to see it's worked out. ;)

Seriously???

 

I'm glad you finally got the sketch you paid for but this is a year and a

half after your last post in this thread and 3 years after the commission.

I think the least he could do is a finished piece for all the aggravation

he has caused you. The very least.

I think it looks like a 7th grader drew this at the last minute before the assignment was due in art class...

 

And what the hell is that supposed to be sticking out of the head?

 

I have never been a fan of his artwork, and I agree you got a "leave me alone" sketch.

I like his work, but this is the kind of thing that gives true professionals a bad name. I'm not making any judgement on the sketch you received, as art is subjective. Considering the hassle he put you through, one would think he would've done something with a bit more "oomph".
