In our weekly installment of Clients from Hell, a hilarious collection of anonymously contributed client horror stories from designers, we present to you "Only Famous Artists Get Paid." For previous posts, click here.
I was contacted by this new unknown magazine. They wanted to use my art, and pay a fair sum, so I answered sure. I then found out they wanted me to pay. I didn’t answer. Two weeks later they contacted me again.
Client: So are you interested in our offer?
Me: No, I don’t want to pay to be in your magazine. It should really be the other way around, actually.
Client: Famous artists get paid, and not-famous ones have to pay. That’s the business !
