I really think there is a right way and a wrong way to handle this. I understand your right to post this thread, but on the other hand I think it does more damage to you and Josh. Things happen in life, and when it involves money it simply sucks. I had a client send me a payment for 50.00 on 500.00 bill. It took them 2 months to send me the rest of the money. Things happen, shit happens. I did not go blogging sites with flame threads, I just simply called once a week and wrote once a week. Finally they sent me the check. I had my stress, I had my worries, but in the end it all worked out. It was a private company and it surfaced later that one of the family members had a medical issue, all money and attention was going there. Being a human, I completely understood. I am not corporate American, I am a freelance artist that helps and works with people. Sometimes it does hurt the pocket book a bit, but getting money later is always nice as well, esp when you have other projects that are paying. ;)

Ive gotten fucked before, but never turned around and fucked them back over the internet, thats a bitch move, just learn your lesson like I did, contract it all, you have good work, dont lose future work with good clients over him being like most designers in general, impossible to rely on(time wise) if you need some loot, just whore yourself out man.....your welcome

Just to clear the air. Jesse is a great designer, i do think highly of him and his talents.
the project was spec work. anyone knows that you don't get paid to pitch. This season, i invited a few freelancers in so that if their work was selected, i would directly hook them up with the client after this season. It's my way of trying to at least give back to people i believe in, as well as trying to give the client fresh ideas.
I paid him $25 for each comp (up to 4) then if any pieces were selected, i would add another 275 per each piece. So this is about $100 bucks. no pieces were selected or used. he still maintains all his rights to the pieces.
If he posted his rage here or just sent me a email to let me know he hasn't gotten taken care of, i would of paid him either way.
in the end, i have no issues with Jesse. very disappointed by this approach, but he is very talented and i wish him the best.
as far as invoices, i have over $5000 out from last year that hasn't been paid. But that is my business and the clients. not public domain.

God this place s like a reality series online.

i am sorry hydro74 but you do spec work?
and you pay someone for $25 per comp?
where can i find these guys who will do work for free until it gets selected and pay them $25 to $100???
- hydro740
umm
you misunderstood.
i'm paying for comps. i get paid nothing until something is selected. if the client picks something up, i pay 200-300 per each piece, which is pretty standard. I take out $50 from the cost to do set ups.
- MrD0
ok you bascially tell freelancers to submit comp to you for a business that you are pitching...
and you pay them 200-300 per comp if it get picked by client.
take out 50 for processing..
if it doesnt get picked then you give them $25?
but arent you pitching the client?
