"Yes, I've seen what you do and that's what we want" then I told him: "if you are going to 'art direct' the s*** out of this thing I want no part of it, I heard your docpristien and I have no problem delivering what you need the only way I know how to" he said "no problem, do what you do best" and then he proceeds to pull the individual hairs off my balls, one by one. Get everything in writing. He came to see me in person the first time and gave me verbal instructions every time he needed changes, once the s*** hit the fan it was easy for him to say "That's not what I said", this time however, I refused to take his phone calls and stopped him from coming to my house, I forced him to respond via email, I honestly thought it was going to end well, I really did, but I prepared mentally for the worse. How many times can I get f***ed until I learn my lesson, the answer is 'One', there will be no second time, I'm too old for that.My biggest problem in this "art world of s***" is dealing with morons who hire you for what you do best and then want to turn you into someone/something else, if you have seen what I do and have a good solid idea of my capabilities and style and whatever else, why on earth would you expect something diametrically oppossed to what I'm capable of? it puzzles the f*** out of me!!! Somebody, please explain that to me!!!If you want to hire a photographer or some other photorealistic bulls*** artist why do you come knocking on my f***ing door? and waste the time I should be spending on more important things than to deal with your sorry ass, things such as picking the lint of my belly button, clipping my toenails or bathing 'Mars The Dog'. We all need money, that is a fact, but we can't allow this scum of the earth to rob us of our dignity and treat us like human toilets. I used to get tons of requests for commissions as probably many of you in the comics field do, things like: "I want Supergirl sucking Cat Woman's p**** or the ever popular: "Power Girl showing her t*** to a horny Back Canary, who's touching her breasts while inserting a huge dildo up her butt". Sure I need the money but I'm not your personal w****, nothing to do with morality, it's all about creative freedom.I've already forwarded the emails to the owner of the company, demanding payment and warning them not to use the work lest they risk a lawsuit (they won't use it anyway because that's not what they wanted in the first place, the stupid art director took care of that). Beyond these measures, these people are a royal waste of my ear wax removal time, I won't lose any sleep over it.Thanks for all the comments, everybody, I'll see you in L.A.-Alberto

Congratulations on your 1st Wedding Anniversary, which reminds me, we have a date, October 4 2009, it would be great if you could make it to the wedding or even meet us somewhere in Asia afterwards.
