"we're basically looking for someone that can mimic your illustration style, but for a lot less money- can you recommend anyone? - preferably locally..."

how do you guys deal with clients who love your work but don't have any kind of "tact". i'm thinking of charging a little overhead.

this is good.
a client is a make-up artist, she supplied photos for a website that we're making. i've got the images blown up on the screens.
just then, another client comes in to pick up some printing and just stops and looks at me like i've done something really wrong. turns out, the model in the pics is his sister (who lives in another city) - thought i was going all stalker-ish as they are recent and he hadn't even seen them yet. hahaha.... almost got weird....

Okay –
So on the front – let’s have:
£X discount to sold out shows (emphasize discount)
Including
Lady Gaga (emphasized)
Someone else
Someone else
Someone elseDiscount code somewhere on the front.
On the back will probably be a standard bit of informational text about us.
Just one short paragraph in English. I will write it soon, but won’t be much. Maybe we just have the big logo and then some explanatory text. I don’t really know what to do to make it pretty without images.Is that enough?
Thanks,
KevinLOL @ "is that enough?"

- it's OK to use the word fat. obese not so much.ohhhhhsnap

Two months after the client received the invoice, they realized there're computed a large amount of hours due to changes and template modifications (client requested)... And wish a reduction, obviously.
I said i've not included ALL the production hours i spent, and invoiced much weekend hours like mo-fri hours, and a gross reduction is included jet.
Anyway, i suspect i'm not going to be paid for this work...

"We are still missing the logos from the sponsors but can you start adapting that design to the other formats?"
And so I did.....2 days later ----> 8 fucking logos

we produce monthly marketing reports for clients. one clients just asked for us to add data thats already in the report, clearly marked in tabs that follow his requirements.... just goes to show people dont read reports despite each one taking over 4 hours to compile and analyse.. and having a call to go through with them.
