A friendly warning about an artist

[sin]

So, its been 6 years since this all started.



I put a sizable deposit down on a Doze Green commission.



I'm (still) a huge fan of Doze's work. I've been patient, he's had to relocate a few times, and I was cool being patient.

However, at this point Doze has produced tons of work, and just let my sizable deposit go without rectifying the matter.



There have been half hearted attempts that never came to an end. Promises make but not kept.



So, while I still appreciate the work, and Doze's contribution to the movement, I would suggest against doing commission work with him.

Never good to hear.

Especially as Doze is an established artist & 6yrs is along time.

I hope you get to stand in front of him someday.

Doze is an artist I admire too, so this is not good to hear.

6 years is 5 too long IMO.

I hope you get some sort of resolution soon, it's not nice to hear of a loyalty being abused in such a way, especially when the artist shares their creative output so often.

Yeah I've got the same going on with a relatively laudable artist..
s'been going for years 4/5 ... takes the "fun" out of the movement imo.

reckon the relationship between this artist is defunct - his vibe is still there - but if i ever see anything .. the work will be tainted and as such won't have any resonance.

on the other hand it is to be expected - this goes any everywhere - not going on here would stand it out as not being a part of the 'normal'.

chap is south american .. btw.

That is fairly infuriating

I waited a year for a commission and thought that was bad. Seems like it was a speedy service 😂

Hope you shall get your sizable deposit back, at least.

Update to the story.

Communicated with Doze via e-mail and IG.
We have worked through it, and decided on a piece that he is currently working on to cover the purchase price.
Being that I dont have it in hand yet, I'll stop short of celebrating.
