Your Opinion Please?


This guy approaches me and says he wants to make something for my site. He says he's done art for other Mistress’ sites. He makes a rough one I can't use. He says he will make the text of the outside ring spin around the center of my logo like he did in the rough one. I give him the clean original copyrighted artwork of my logo, that I lovingly made with my own two hands in Illustrator and Photoshop.

Last night, after I gave him my art, I made it clear that I don't pay for anything with trances. The next day he says he isn't "motivated". He says, "I am sorry. Are you disappointed?"

I say, “I think if you wish to barter for your art, you should say so up front—and you know I am not for sale at any price. I am the last Mistress you should jerk around karmically because I am nice to you and I look out for subs.”

He says that isn’t at all what he was thinking. It is not true, blah blah. So I asked him to prove to me that he was not like that by making my logo spin. “Maybe you will gain a friend,” I added.

To which he replied, "OK.”

Now, your opinion please?

Should I give him a chance, maybe I misunderstood? He really wasn’t trying to worm his way out of this. Or should I trust my instincts that tell me he is never going to do it

Let me know what you think.

*A note written Dec. 18th: never heard from this guy again! His name on Yahoo! Messenger is: ntranzd4u.
It’d be fine with me if you sent him some nice messages and encouraged him to finish the work for me—or just give him a piece of your mind (that's all right too).
