    Bboy,

    They did not approach me with the job. They tasked their out-of-house design & ad firm to come up with a campaign concept. That firm contracted me to do the gig, and subsequently stiffed me on the work I did...only to turn around and then invoice the brand for it.

    So, the ad firm is responsible for payment, but their client is benefiting from the campaign with my art as the core of not just the print ads, but now I've found that it's all over their site and corporate videos as well.

    Add to that the fact that my former best man is in charge of the firm in question, and you can imagine how it gets kinda complicated.
