When you lose respect for a friend ?

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 29, 2008, 5:58 AM
::Whats New::


Remember this painting?

It just hit me out of the blue that the commissioner still hasn't paid for it.
Unfortunately, the only way I can contact the commissioner is through her daughter, my close friend Bec.
Bec doesn't want to pass on any messages, contradictory to what we agreed on earlier..... which she has obviously forgotten.

So, once again I have put in an effort, worked through the night with screams and threats thrown at me to the point that I was crying most of the time. (we where in the process of moving and where leaving the very next day)
But, despite all of my hard work, a painting has left me and the money hasn't been received.
The main thing that bothers me is that my friend blatantly refuses to pass the message on that I haven't been paid yet.
It really bothers me, I feel like I've been used and then, someone who I thought was a close friend has betrayed me.
It's not a nice feeling.
Doing that painting took away a night that i will never get back, it caused arguments to arise and I have nothing to show for my hard work.


In other news, the person who is holding the painting (on the other side of the country) is saying that he loves it and that it brightens up his rather dull room.
It's nice, because I really wanted to create something to bring a little bit of colour into someone else's life. Being back stabbed is a downer, but knowing that Gani appreciates what I put into that paining makes it allot better.
Fuck, I miss him so much. He said he would come to visit some time, i'm really looking forward to it!

Anyways, all I wanted was for someone to love that painting and thats happened. I don't care about the money (although it would help allot, I'm sick of borrowing from my parents to pay for collage!).
I do care that Bec has failed to rise up when I needed her, this whole thing is more than just an unfortunate ending for a painting, it may very well be an ending of a friendship.
Bec has let me down plently of times, but I know how much she has been though so I try to just shrug it off because I know that all of my bad experiences couldn't even begin to add up to her unfortunate past... but i'm sick of listening and never being listened to. I can't talk to her when i'm down, because the conversation will always go back to her problems.
Her problems are worse than mine, but that doesn't make mine worthless.









I just don't think I can talk to her after realizing all of this.... I wouldn't seem right pretending that it doesn't bother me.








I've tried to talk to her plenty of times, but half the time I get a one worded response and a change of subject. A sentence or two if I'm lucky.


Bec, if you're reading this. I don't want to talk about it, I've already said enough in this journal. Sure, theres more but i'll save it for another time....
Now that you know whats going on in my head I wouldn't remind a response.

~Sakx is new to DA and is offering commissions! Please, check out his gallery I'm sure you'll find something your fond of.

Here are some of my favorites:




::Rip List::

Here you can find a list of deviants that have rather suspicious galleries. I honestly believe that these deviants have stolen their art from other people, however, I can not report them unless I have sufficient evidence. Thats where you guys come into it, if you know the original artist of anything you may see in the following peoples galleries we can have them removed from the community.
Putting a stop to art-ripping and frauds, one deviation at a time.



:iconmsaku: - Has taken other peoples fanart and added crappy edits to make the characters from Naruto 'emo'.
:iconblacksheep90: - Look at the rather suspicious difference in quality, also notice her age and her 'nude photography'.
:iconabsoluteme: All of the high quality photo's are thumbnails in full view. In general, a photographer would not shrink their pictures to that size by choice.
:iconhuman-bucket: - CONFIRMED. Found by ~SashaIrla
CONFIRMED

Please note:
  • The users are posted here in the hope that their thieving can be proved, but there may be times when the artist is legit, so please keep that in mind.
  • I hold no responsibility to how people reading my journal react to the users posted in this section.
  • The people on this list had the choice of posting pictures on the internet.
  • If you feel that I am wrongly broadcasting their galleries, keep in mind that this is not made to get them flamed, rather, to bring it to the attention of other deviants so that their case may be judged on different levels, by different people to steer away from bias that would otherwise waste admins time.
  • If it turns out their art is their own, their names will be tagged with 'legit' and later removed.
  • If we find that they are in fact stealing (even if they remove the stolen art) their names will forever be displayed on this list with a nice big 'Confirmed' next to it.

    ::Real life::
    :iconstilthist: - The love of my life, an amazing guitarist and man. Theres nothing I could possibly say that would do him justice.
    :icondelilah-oxford: - The girl you can get drunk with while making fart jokes and staying up late.
    :iconceara: - My awesome sister, go give her a visit right this second! She deserves more attention.
    :iconredpaints: - My Idol, she was one of my early inspirations.
    :iconlordkrogoth: - Freaking awesome concept artist, check out his gallery he has some funny/controversial photomunips that get you thinking.

    ::Internet Buddies::
    :iconbahji: Probably one of my best mates that I've met online, his art is inspirational and I wish I could steal his imagination from him! I've known him ever since I was 14! I think you should all go give him your money so he can come fly down to Australia and I can finally add him to the box above this.
    :iconspiderwebwings: - Kick ass girl! Amazing artist, what more can I say? She's the kind of person who I feel like I could go to for advice, which is more than I can say for most people I know in real life!
    :iconzephyyr: I've known her for quite some time now and I've only just begun to really appreciate her. Her gallery is amazing and are mostly entwined with an in depth concept. It's the kind of art that you think about late at night when your avoiding sleep
    :iconlazbotnik: - My sisters boyfriend. Hopefully one of these days I'll get to put him in my 'real life' box of friends too!
    :iconmichelephant: Amazingly strong woman, i'll never forget how we met. She is one of the most accepting people around, and you'll be missing out if you never get the chance to talk with her.

    yeh, from now on i've asked for a downpayment. ;)
    it's great to hear from you, I have some funny news about that guy who faked digital paintings from photos.
    It turns out that the flower one was cloned in painter by ANOTHER person. I saw the exact same picture in a magazine, I do believe he just scanned the picture and submitted it.
    rofl
    the guy can't even clone his own work! :rofl:

    Long time no chat.
    Awesome new work by the way :)

    I'm shocked to hear about your paintings going off and not receiving your well deserved cash :<

    Maybe you should get the money first, then send the painting?

    The same thing happened to a brother of mine

    Thanks so much. Very helpful b/c I realy want to try selling some art of mine. <3
    *ninykinin:iconninykinin: May 11, 2008, 8:30:14 PM
    Selling online can be rewarding, but most people would rather see a painting in real life when they buy it.
    You have some fantastic work in your gallery and i'm sure you could make some money out of it.
    My best advise for you would be to do colored canvass paintings or print your digital work onto gloss posters.
    Once you've gathered up a nice stack of prints and paintings go to the local market and hire a stall. They usually cost around $15-$30 depending on the area and size.
    I personally have never hired a stall, but I've met plenty of people who make a killing out of selling their art like that :)

    Selling online is also a great idea because you don't have to go to all the effort of getting everything printed out (unless you are working from your very own website) Unfortunately, because the internet is so massive you would have to be very lucky to make much money out of it.

    Almost all of my commissions have been the case of 'I know this girl who has this friend who wants a painting' so I suppose it's also a good idea to get out and socialize every now and then. Also, offer a piece or two to the local art gallery exhibition. If they accept you it's great advertisement.
    I hope that helps :)

    Yeah, everyone seems to get the feeling that either I remind them of someone they know, or they think they've met me before.

    Well, I'm glad I was able to make you smile. ;)
