That is not really the subject of this post, just prepare yourself for a complaint... or, if you like, a rant. In an earlier post I bemoaned the fact that I do a fair amount of work that will never sees the light of day. This post is a follow on. About 3 weeks ago I was asked by my agent to do yet another sample. At the time I was short of work so I agreed even though it is not at all in any style I have done before. Of course the deadline was to be 24hrs, or some such short amount of time. I duly stayed up late to complete it, then later still when I realised I'd somehow overwritten the finished file with a much earlier one. (A problem I keep having.. even today I overwrote an entire day's work.) So I send off the image and get a cursory, "lovely, thanks" email from the agent. Then nothing. Even my agent does not reply for 3 weeks (probably off on some luxury holiday that I could never afford).
Bear in mind that I have exactly reproduced the characters and background styles from animation character drawings they supplied, so they have no reason to reject it as it fulfils the brief perfectly. I would accept any explanation. Perhaps they wanted the sample for some business deal that didn't work out, or they changed their mind on the characters, or even a straight "no thanks". What makes me rant with fury is the totally contemptible way they they cannot be bothered to communicate anything with me. It's the most basic common courtesy that is missing. It also reveals the fact that they do not value, at all, the contribution of the creatives without which their business would not exist at all. Bizarre behaviour yet sadly common.
There you go, now was that a rant or a complaint?

I'm ranting along with you Leo. I think it's a perfect example of the way in which commissioners treat creatives with condescension verging on contempt.
There are scores of these work for nothing briefs going out every day and in a previous era agents would have rejected such approaches - now they're only too eager to dump them on their artists in the hope that they'll be able to make a little money on the back off the deal. The fact that it's an outside chance makes no difference to them as they don't have to produce the work.
I think I'd rather stack shelve in Lidl where the pay is actually way better than the kind of crap remuneration that these jobs entail - should they actually ever go live.
Arrrrgggghhhhhhh!!!! Froth, Foam Arrrrgggghhhhhhhh!!!
Rant,
Rant.
... time for a cuppa tea.
Thanks for ranting with me!
The only answer is to escape their evil clutches and DIY. I'm doing just that after being inspired by your post on Cloud 109 about John Higham's brilliant Elly the Reindeer. In the next post on here I'm announcing a Lulu book and by the end of the week I should have the iPad and iPhone version of it iTunes.
You should definitely get your comic cracking on iPhone asap. It's the future!
Wipe away that foam! No more ranting! Rejoicing instead!
Shoes specially made for losing weight are available today and [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt shoes review[/URL][/B] can be quite effective. These shoes have been out for a while and some companies have risen to the top [B]mbt shoes review[/B] demonstrated that they can provide a quality product to consumers. One [U]mbt discount shoes[/U] such type of these shoes is the MBT Shoe made by a company called Swiss Masai. In case you [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] did not MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology. In this write up we want to take a [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] closer look at these special shoes.
The development and idea behind the MBT shoe design is quite [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] interesting. What the shoe attempts to do is structure the shape of the shoe so [U]buy mbt shoes[/U] that it simulates walking on sand. Specifically, the they want to attempt to make it as if you are walking [U]buy mbt shoes[/U] along the natural sand environment of the Masai in Kenya. Sports trainers have known for quite a while now [U]mbt shoes review[/U] that working out on dry sand is a great way to get in excellent cardiovascular condition. As you [U]MBT[/U] walk on sand it creates an uneven surface on your feet and it forces you to shift your center of gravity to [U]MBT shoes[/U] an unnatural position. Your body compensates for this by using several different [B]mbt sneakers[/B] muscle groups in your feet, calves, thighs, and torso that you would not use wearing typical shoes. This is the ideas [U]MBT shoes[/U] behind the MBT weight loss shoes and it does seem to [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]MBT shoes[/URL][/B] work for some people.
More specifically, MBT makes several positive claims [U]MBT shoes[/U] and benefits from wearing their shoes. They will take muscle groups [U][B]buy mbt shoes[/U][/B] not normally used in walking and make them active. The shoes will give you a better posture, and a more effective [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] gait when walking with or without the shoes. It can [B]mbt sneakers[/B] potentially help you with problems you may have with your back, hips, legs, and feet. The [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] shoes can help you recover from injuries to your [B]mbt shoes review[/B] tendons, joints, ligaments, or muscles. The shoes are also designed to alleviate tension and stress [U]MBT shoes[/U] on your lower joints.
Another particular claim [B]mbt walking shoes[/B] of MBT is that is you walk one mile in these weight [U][B]mbt shoes cheap[/U][/B] loss shoes it will be as if you walked two miles in ordinary shoes, and you will burn equivalent calories. One thing [B]mbt sneakers[/B] is for sure, users find that after the first few [B]mbt sneakers[/B] times they walk in the shoes their calf and thigh muscles are sore. Also, while you are [U]MBT[/U] just starting to use the shoes they will feel uncomfortable [U]mbt sneakers[/U] but that feeling goes away after twenty [U]mbt sneakers[/U] minutes or so. Once you get used to the feel of the shoes users find that they can [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] walk effortlessly and comfortably. The shape of the sole is designed [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] to make you walk with your back straight and your [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] stomach flat, and your whole stride shortens up and quickens. These are [U][B]mbt shoes cheap[/U][/B] the major effects that owners of MBT shoes [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] experience.
